Yes, you can add Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) to Kroger Pay, allowing you to use your EBT card for eligible purchases at Kroger stores. This makes it convenient for customers to make their purchases using their EBT benefits without having to carry around an additional form of payment.
What is EBT and Kroger Pay?
Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) is a system that allows recipients of government assistance programs such as SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) to receive and spend their benefits electronically.
