A new financial start for your tenants

- with the cashplus card

No way of getting in debt. No cheque cashing fees. No tie-ins. Everyone accepted.

Introduce your tenants to the cashplus card and you'll be helping them get the financial services they need without paying ridiculous fees, like bank charges, overdraft fees and cheque cashing fees.

The award winning cashplus prepaid gold MasterCard® is safer than cash and allows your tenant more control over their budgets. Being the only payment card to offer your tenants free purchase protection and the ability to improve their credit score, you truly will be giving them a fresh new start. And that's why NHC and Advanced Payment Solutions are working together - helping your tenants and supporting your financial inclusion goals.

Best of all, as a special offer to your tenants, we're making the card available at the new lowest price. So, it's a great deal all round.

Everyone accepted

If the customer lives in the UK and is 18 years old or over, they are guaranteed a card. So, if they've experienced financial difficulties, are new to the UK or who simply don't have a bank account -they no longer need feel excluded.

How does the cashplus card work?

It's easy - just load it up and spend it like cash. The Chip and PIN card gives access to many of the same benefits as a credit card or debit card. Cardholders can top up their cards at over 12,500 locations throughout the UK. It can be used at over 26 million retail outlets, over 1 million ATM's worldwide to withdraw cash, to shop on the internet, over the phone or by mail order, wherever MasterCard is accepted. So, there's no need to miss out on those bargains.

The Partnership

Rich Wagner, CEO of APS added "We're excited about this opportunity to partner with Northern Housing Consortium to offer a very relevant financial product to its housing associations and their tenants. It's a real opportunity to improve social inclusion during an economic cycle where it's becoming even more difficult for consumers to get financial products that can service their needs. Our award winning cashplus gold MasterCard is the perfect solution for these residents during uncertain times when banks are more worried about their own survival than servicing customers who need help to remain financially included."

Andrew Carlin, Commercial Director at NHC said "NHC are extremely pleased to be working in partnership with APS and to offer our members their range of services .In this particularly difficult economic climate it is more important than ever to ensure that sustainable and responsible financial services are available and I am confident that the product will assist our members in offering financial services to tenants which were previously unavailable. The NHC currently offer to members electronic bill payment cards provided with allpay.net and tenants contents insurance, brokered with Marsh UK therefore the partnership we have developed with APS is a fantastic addition to this portfolio"
