A smarter way to use assistance benefits—and a simpler way to accept them.
BOOP is an NFC payment card and platform for Bermuda. Cardholders spend benefits at participating vendors. Vendors get paid instantly with a flat 1% fee. Simple, transparent, and built for everyday life.
For cardholders
Use your BOOP Card to buy groceries and essentials at participating vendors. No hidden fees for you.
- Tap just like any other card.
- Only approved categories are allowed, so benefits go where they should.
- 24/7 online balance and history.
For vendors
Flat 1% per transaction
BOOP is not Visa or Mastercard. We keep it simple—no 2.5–3.5% interchange surprises, no tiered pricing. Just a transparent 1% fee and next-day deposits*.
- Fast onboarding and simple web tools.
- Chargebacks are rare—transactions follow program rules.
- Free listing in our vendor directory (opt-in).
* Deposit timing depends on bank rails and holidays.
For government partners
Modernize disbursements with real-time controls and clear reporting.
- Limit purchases to approved categories and vendors.
- Program-level dashboards and exportable reports.
- API & secure data room for auditors.
How it works
- Funds arrive on your BOOP Card via your program.
- Shop at vendors that accept BOOP (look for the BOOP mark).
- Compliance is built-in—restricted categories simply won’t go through.
- Vendors get paid with a flat 1% fee and clear settlement.
Optional: Health & ICE swipe
You can choose to store a limited “In Case of Emergency” profile on your BOOP Card—like allergies, medications, and an emergency contact. With your consent, a clinic or ambulance can read this data by swiping your card to help in a crisis.
- Opt-in only—you control what’s shared.
- Read-only access for emergency providers.
- Encrypted at rest and in transit.
Security & privacy
- Modern encryption; credentials are hashed and salted.
- Granular permissions for admins and auditors.
- We never sell personal data. Period.
What BOOP is (and isn’t)
