About EZpay

EZpay™ cards are issued at all Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps training site in the U.S. This includes basic training installations, selected office training locations, and military academy locations.

Most trainees arrive without bank accounts, so this allows them time to set up an account for future direct deposits of their pay. Trainees benefit from the security and ease-of-use of the card instead of previous methods of payment, such as case, money orders, and paper chits.

Funds on the card can be used to purchase goods and services at the Post Exchange or Base Exchange, Military Clothing, on-post bank, and most concessionaires on base.

EZpay has been in existence since 1997 and found on over 10 U.S. military installations. Since inception, 4 million cards have been issued, over 25 million transactions performed and over $1 billion in physical currency replaced.
