At the point of sale, what card networks does the Healthy Benefits Plus card operate as?
Answer
Visa or Mastercard
The technological functionality of the Healthy Benefits Plus card is designed for broad usability within standard retail infrastructure. Unlike systems that rely on closed-loop networks, the HBP card operates at the point of sale functioning as either a Visa or a Mastercard. This network compatibility allows the card to be used in most standard retail environments, provided the specific retailer is approved to accept transactions flagged under the supplemental benefit guidelines for eligible food purchases.
