About Top-up by Text
Top-up by Text allows employees to add money to their Reloadable Cards without having to log into the site. It's a convenient way of managing shopping cards for employees who aren't always at a computer.
How It Works
Once the employee has made a purchase online and saved a payment card to their account, they need to text the following to +442033229065:
- TOPUP
- The last 8 digits of the card they want to top-up
- The amount they want to top-up in GBP (don't use a £ sign)
For example, texting: TOPUP 12345678 40
This will top up the Reloadable Card, ending in 1234 5678, by £40.
After the employee has sent the message they will receive a confirmation text from us which confirms the order amount and how much they will be charged. The employee will need to reply to this message with their card security code to complete the transaction.
Activating Cards by Text Message
Employees can activate their Reloadable Cards by text message as well. The letter that is sent with new reloadable cards contains instructions and a unique code that the employee should use. The employee needs to text their unique code to +442033229065 to activate their card. Funds will be added to the card within the normal timeframe for activations.
