Option for benefits and pensions to be paid direct to bank accounts

Thu, 26 Mar 2020

The Manx Government is reminding people who receive state pensions or benefits at a post office using a MiCard that they can be paid directly into their bank account instead.

This facility has been extended and is now available for all benefit types.

Anyone who would like to transfer to having payments made directly into their bank account should call +44 1624 685131, +44 1624 685098 or +44 1624 685092.

The Social Security Team are dealing with a high volume of calls at the moment and have asked that callers be patient and keep calling if they can’t get through first time.

Customers who don’t have a bank account can continue to collect their pensions or benefits by MiCard or can nominate another person to collect their pensions and benefits at a post office on their behalf.

Anyone who would like to do so should email socialsecurity@gov.im.
