Payment options with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) EBT cards are becoming increasingly extensive in the United States. Recently, Kroger announced that it is already accepting payments this way in its online store. Purchases can be picked up anywhere in the country or delivered to your home.
Kroger is accepting this new form of payment based on a collaboration with the Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS). This way, customers enjoy their benefits when they shop through the Kroger application or its online platform.
From now on, those who benefit from the above assistance program will no longer have to go to Kroger stores to pay for the products purchased. Instead, they can complete the transaction from any device and from the comfort of their own home.
Kroger President and CEO Rodney McMullen commented on the issue in a statement. “We believe everyone should have access to fresh, affordable and nutritious food. I am very proud of our teams who have worked closely with the USDA to remove barriers to healthy food. “This way, more people across the United States will have access to the food they need to thrive.”
What products can be purchased at Kroger with the EBT card?
Essentially, the products will be the same as those approved by SNAP. Most of the time they are edible fresh and can be cooked at home. The retail chain provides its users with a free nutritional rating system called OptUp. Your customers have the opportunity to review the features of each product before purchasing from Kroger.
Processing the payment process is very easy with the new variant. First you need to create an account in the APK or on the website. Next, be sure to add the EBT account number as a new card in the My Account and Wallet sections.
When purchasing the desired product, you must select EBT as your payment method. Finally, enter the PIN to confirm your order.
