PayPoint’s network of over 18,500 payment collection terminals in retail outlets across the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland delivers true national coverage, ensuring that at least 95% of people who prefer to pay in cash can find a PayPoint outlet within 1 mile in urban areas, and within 5 miles in rural areas.
Outlets are chosen for their local popularity, convenient locations, long opening hours and good customer service. The network comprises newsagents, convenience stores, supermarkets and garages, operated either by independent retailers, as part of symbol groups, or by multiple retailers.
Once identified, prospective new retail agents are financially accredited and their premises carefully vetted before a Paypoint terminal can be installed.
A highly developed interactive computerised mapping system enables PayPoint to monitor its existing network and maintain coverage integrity, as well as highlighting growth opportunity. Where necessary, the system also allows PayPoint to tailor network density to meet individual client requirements.
