Benefit Balances and Transaction History
BNFT gives SNAP and WIC cardholders a practical way to keep track of benefit availability before shopping. The balance view is designed for a quick check of what remains, while transaction history can show activity across up to a year, making it easier to understand recent purchases and plan the next trip.
The app also connects account information with deposit timing. Users can review when a deposit has posted and when the next one is expected, instead of relying on memory. This combination of current balance, past transactions, and upcoming deposits helps households make more informed choices about groceries and other eligible purchases.
Card Status, PIN, and Replacement Tools
Card problems do not have to derail a shopping trip. BNFT lets eligible users update a card’s status when it is lost, stolen, or damaged, and it provides a path to order a replacement card from within the app. These controls bring urgent card-management tasks closer to the person who needs them.
PIN tools add another layer of day-to-day control. Users can select a PIN or change an existing one, while benefit notifications can flag a PIN lock after repeated incorrect attempts. Together, status updates, replacement requests, and PIN management make the app useful for routine maintenance as well as unexpected card problems.
WIC Food Scanning and Store Discovery
WIC shopping becomes more deliberate with BNFT’s item-scanning workflow. A cardholder can scan a food product and use the result to check whether the item is WIC approved and whether the account has benefits available for that purchase. That turns a question at the shelf into a quick eligibility check.
The app also helps users plan where to shop. Its store locator identifies nearby businesses that accept SNAP or WIC, while featured products can surface items at stores in the user’s location based on current benefits. These tools are especially useful when a shopper wants to compare options before reaching the checkout.
Alerts for Everyday Benefit Planning
BNFT is built around the small decisions that shape a benefits-shopping routine. Users can keep an eye on low balances, expiring benefits, deposit timing, card-status changes, and other account events through push notifications. Timely reminders can make it easier to act before a benefit window closes or a card issue becomes urgent.
For households that shop on a schedule, the app works as a compact planning companion: check the account, review recent activity, confirm eligible foods, and find a participating store. The benefit is less guesswork during a trip and a clearer view of the actions that need attention between deposits.
