Add Money To Your Pockit Card Easily
November 13, 2025
Getting started with a new card and money app shouldn’t be a mission. With a Pockit prepaid Mastercard®, you can open an account in minutes and add money in the way that suits you—no credit checks, no fuss.
What is a Pockit prepaid card?
A prepaid card works just like a regular debit card linked to your e‑money account. You top it up on a pay‑as‑you‑go basis and use it online, in‑store, or in your digital wallet. Because it’s an e‑money account (not a full bank account), you can get set up quickly and stay in control of what’s loaded at any time.
Four ways to add money to your account
- Bank transfer
Your Pockit account comes with a UK sort code and account number. Share those details and receive your money from another bank account or e-money institution. Transfers are usually fast, but can take up to 2 hours to arrive and up to 30 minutes to show in your available balance.
- Debit card top up
You can use any UK debit card (or even Apple Pay or Google Pay) to top up your account. It’s quick and handy for everyday use.
Heads‑up: we can’t accept credit cards or other prepaid cards for top ups right now.
- Cash at PayPoint
No more waiting for a branch to open. Pay in cash at 27,000+ PayPoint stores—open early ’til late, seven days a week. That way you can stay flexible in how you carry your money. Just go to the transfers and top ups section of the Pockit app, generate your unique barcode, and show that barcode to the cashier at your chosen Paypoint to connect your cash deposit to the Pockit app. Use this handy PayPoint locator to find a PayPoint store near you.
- Salary and Benefits
Did you know that you can get your salary or benefits paid into your Pockit account directly? Simply give your account details to your employer or benefits provider and you’ll get your money deposited directly into your account!
Once you’re topped up, you can use your card however you like, and with virtual cards you can get started within moments. Set up your virtual card in your Pockit app and get started with Tap to Pay, instant spend notifications, real‑time balance checks, and more.
So what are you waiting for, see why thousands of customers across the UK like to keep things simple with a Pockit prepaid Mastercard® - if you’re not already using it to manage your cash!
