Postepay is an Italian company that offers a prepaid card service, launched at the end of 2003 and still marketed by Poste Italiane,[1] which can be used anywhere in Italy (ATM and POS of the Postamat and Visa Electron circuits) and abroad (ATM and POS of the Visa/Visa Electron circuit), on the Internet (in sites that accept Visa and Visa Electron cards) and in all Italian post offices through the Postamat circuit. It also offers mobile and fixed telephony services through PosteMobile.
Postepay does not require opening a current account and does not require the existence of a support current account. It can be topped up at the post office in cash at the Postamat ATMs of Italian Post by debiting the amount on Maestro, MasterCard, and Visa and Visa Electron circuit cards, through the official website via a SIM card, through PosteMobile, or through Sisal authorized offices.[2] Poste Italiane also provides an online top-up service. In 2015, Poste Italiane declared that it had issued 13.5 million Postepay cards.
