CEO says removal of MiCard will present other opportunities
An MHK has questioned whether the Isle of Man Post Office will be the ‘greatest loser’ when Treasury withdraws the MiCard from circulation.
From the end of next year people will be unable to have their benefits, or state pension, paid via the system and will instead have to have the money paid into a bank or online account.
Treasury claims this will save £500,000 a year but Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse told the Economic Policy Review Committee this week he thought the Post Office should have been more proactive.
However Chief Executive Simon Kneen said it is an opportunity to do things differently:
No increase in domestic gas prices for rest of 2026
Law targeting sale of nicotine pouches takes step further
Procurement process for Kirk Onchan Post Office continuing
Bus station will not be moved to the Sea Terminal
Forum explores what domestic abuse looks like on the Isle of Man
