Mr Love: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and
Pensions what arrangements are in place to allow for the payment of universal
credit to those without a bank or building society account; and if he will make
a statement.
Esther McVey: For those without a bank or building
society, the Department can pay universal credit into a credit union current
account, Post Office card account or by Simple Payment. A Simple Payment is a
cash transfer service, which has been designed to pay those people who DWP cannot
pay into any type of account.
