For Cardholders
The enhanced Income Management (IM) program is an initiative of the Australian Government.
Under the enhanced IM program, a percentage of a customer’s income support payment is placed in an account with an attached debit card issued by Indue Ltd. This card is known as the SmartCard, and it can be used at most shops that accept Visa or eftpos, including overseas. It cannot be used to buy alcohol, some gift cards and cash-like products, tobacco, pornography or to withdraw cash.
