Payments for Good : Supporting people in need


Food shopping, school lunch, and energy vouchers provide a lifeline to people who find themselves in financial hardship or vulnerable situations. And the extra surge of support in these areas during the pandemic has left many non-profit organisations working around the clock.

From groceries and energy bills to school lunches, Blackhawk Network can provide vouchers and pre-paid cards to get support to those in need quickly.

Fast and friendly funds disbursement


How it works

We begin every partnership finding out about your organisation and how we can support you and your beneficiaries. Our expert team then develop a bespoke distribution solution for you, and work quickly and efficiently to put these actions in place. 

We’ve distributed funds through vouchers, prepaid cards, gift cards & digital codes that can be used at all major supermarkets and popular retailers. By providing support with food, energy bills, school lunch vouchers and everyday essentials in this way we find that recipients are more likely to use the money on goods they need – rather than funds getting lost on overdraft payments or non-essential purchases.

Our fast, reliable and scalable Payments for Good solutions


Digital Codes


Select is our online platform that delivers codes electronically to your recipients. Codes are then swapped for gift cards or eGifts from a wide range of retailers, including supermarkets.  

Energy Card


Our PURE prepaid energy cards are ideal for helping people to pay utility bills, or when you need to distribute a large number of cash funds.

Open Loop Prepaid Cards


Our Prepaid Mastercard® can be used anywhere that Mastercard® is accepted and is available as a single load or reloadable card.

Multi-Retailer Gift Cards


Our One4all gift card can be spent at a wide range of retailers nationwide, in-store and online. Retail sectors that accept our popular gift card include restaurants, home and clothing.
