New deal for BT bill payers at the Post Office

Post Office Ltd and BT have signed a new 5-year deal which allows four million BT customers to continue to benefit from the convenience of paying their phone bill at Post Office branches.

The agreement will enable BT customers to pay their bill by cash, cheque or debit card at any of the UK’s 14,000 Post Office branches. Over 94 per cent of the UK population lives within a mile of a Post Office branch.

Customers can also continue to save towards their quarterly bill by making regular payments using their BT payment card in Post Office branches too.

Nearly 25 million people visit the Post Office each week, making over 270 million bill payments every year for a wide range of utilities and local councils. It’s free to pay almost any bill at the Post Office.

A BT spokesperson said: “We continue to offer our customers the widest choice in how and where to pay their bill. We are pleased to continue to work with the Post Office in this area.”

Gary Hockey-Morley, Marketing Director, Post Office Ltd, said: “Over four million BT customers want to pay their phone bill at the same time as posting a parcel or buying their foreign currency at the Post Office. We are delighted to sign this new deal allowing these customers to continue paying at the Post Office.”
