💳 Post Office Card Account – Easy Way to Get Your Benefits 

💡 What is a Post Office Card Account? 

A Post Office Card Account is like a simple bank account. But it is only for getting Welfare Benefit payments 💷. 

✅ It’s easier to open than a regular bank account
❌ You can’t use it for wages
❌ You can’t use it in cash machines (ATMs) 

📥 How You Get Your Money 

🏤 You can use the card to take your money out at any Post Office branch. You will get: 

  • A plastic card 💳 
  • A PIN number 🔢 (for security) 

📝 How to Open This Account
