The Post Office Card Account can be accessed at any one of around 11,500 branches across the post office network.

No discussions have taken place with Post Office Ltd or other payment services providers about offering a wider range of payment outlets and there are currently no plans to extend the number of outlets at which Post Office Card Account customers can access pensions and benefits.
