BT customers can continue to benefit from the convenience of paying for and towards their BT telephone services at Post Office branches. The Post Office and BT have extended their long-standing relationship by a further three-year period, from September 2011 to the end of September 2014.

The agreement will enable BT customers to pay for their quarterly bills by cash, cheque or debit card at any of the UK’s 11,500 Post Office branches.

Also, customers can continue to save towards their quarterly bill by making regular payments using their BT payment card in Post Office branches.

John Petter, MD, Consumer, BT Retail said "BT customers have the widest of choice of payment options in the UK, which includes payment at the 11,500 Post Offices around the country where they can pay their bills or make payments towards their next bill via their BT payment card. We are delighted to continue our relationship with the Post Office and give our customers another convenient way of paying their bill. "

Post Office marketing director Gary Hockey-Morley said: "BT customers enjoy the convenience of paying for or towards their bill at the same time as posting a parcel or buying their foreign currency at the Post Office. We are delighted to extend our long-standing and valued relationship with BT, which allows our mutual customers to continue paying at their local Post Office."

In addition to paying bills, customers can access a wide range of other services at their local Post Office, such as banking and financial services including free cash access over the counter, travel services including travel insurance, passports and commission-free currency, and mail and postal services.

You can also pay your BT bills at PayPoint outlets so it's not really a big deal

It's better than loosing the custom entirely.

They'd find it difficult to remove it totally from the PO, if they did they'd have to remove it from all but their preferred source (PayPoint, PO, banks and building societies).

The only trouble now is finding a post office that has not been closed. Now that's not easy.

Not such a marvelous deal when you remember that BT add about £3 or £4 to each quarterly bill for the privilege of paying like that.
