Looking for an alternative to Tesco Clubcard Pay+?

Thousands of families used Tesco’s Pay+ card as a workaround to manage spending or support a loved one. Sibstar is built specifically for this.

Why Clubcard Pay+ is closing

Tesco Bank has announced that its Clubcard Pay+ account will close in April, meaning customers will soon need to find an alternative way to manage their everyday spending.

Many people used Clubcard Pay+ for:

• Separating everyday spending
• Helping family members manage money
• Budgeting or controlling spending
• Providing oversight for loved ones

For some families, it became an informal way to support someone who needed help managing their finances.

But it was never designed specifically for this purpose.

That’s where Sibstar is different.

A safer alternative designed for supported spending

Sibstar is a debit card and app built specifically to help people spend safely while keeping their independence.

It allows a trusted supporter — such as a family member — to help oversee spending when needed.

Perfect for people who:

• are vulnerable to scams
• have dementia or memory issues
• have learning difficulties
• are recovering from addiction
• simply need extra support managing money

Unlike many traditional banking products, Sibstar was designed from day one for supported financial independence.

What Sibstar lets you do

With the Sibstar app, families can support spending in a safe and flexible way.

Key features

✔ Set daily or monthly spending limits
✔ Turn contactless, online or ATM use on/off
✔ Receive instant transaction notifications
✔ Adjust controls instantly through the app
✔ Help protect loved ones from scams

All while the cardholder continues to use their own debit card independently.
