The cashless debit card looks and operates like a standard debit card and supports a range of flexible payment options, including online transfers, BPAY, most online shopping and recurring deductions. The only time the card cannot be used is for the purchase of alcohol, gambling products, some gift cards or to withdraw cash. The government is committed to the continuous improvement of the cashless debit card so people can have access to the most current technology and features and continue to use it as a financial budgeting tool. Any discussions with banks and retailers will focus on improving users' experience and providing a choice to participants.
