The United States Postal Service (USPS) and gift card and payments provider Blackhawk Network have entered a distribution deal that allows USPS to offer closed loop gift cards from Blackhawk at select post office locations.
“The USPS is excited to work with Blackhawk Network to offer gift cards in our post offices – it is a completely natural fit,” said Nagisa Manabe, EVP and Chief Marketing and Sales Officer of USPS. “We have been focused on providing more consumer services and products, and working with Blackhawk allows us to offer one of the best managed programs and product suites to our customers.”
Blackhawk Network expects to expand distribution to additional USPS locations in 2015. It also plans to offer open loop gift cards from a variety of payment networks, which can be redeemed anywhere that network is accepted.
