Tax-free payment in kind in the Ruhrpott area with the Pott Card

Whether for a visit to Carl Colliery in Essen, a visit to the U in Dortmund or a visit to the zoo in Duisburg — the Pott Card is a reliable companion. But the Pott Card Credit can be used not only to discover the numerous cultural sites in the region. It can also be spent on a fine dinner at the Goldener Anker in Dorsten or at Thai Next Door. Prefer to cook at home? No problem, the Pott-Card credit can also be spent at the owner-managed Edeka next door. Anyone who prefers to relax in the car despite the well-developed rail network is also in luck, because the Pott Card is of course also accepted at regional gas stations.

What is the Pott-Card?

The Pott-Card is a gift card that can be redeemed in all participating local businesses in the Ruhr area. It is available as a physical, regional credit card or as a digital version in the Regional Hero Discovery app. The app ensures secure and easy payment and shows users our personal favorite places - not in Germany's oldest pedestrian zone in Essen, but in the entire region! The app also makes it possible to collect bonus points or get in touch with acceptance points directly.

Who is the Pott-Card for?

The Pott-Card is the best solution for tax-free employee benefits. Card holders are therefore mainly employees who have received the card from their employer. In addition to employers, who benefit from happy employees, regional companies also have the opportunity to provide sustainable incentives for their customers.

Why the Pott-Card in particular?

The Pott-Card is as individual as your employees! Hundreds of acceptance points make it possible for each of your employees to find the right thing for them. In addition, the sustainable design and regional ties make the pot card an award winner in ecological terms. Thanks to its wide range of uses, e.g. for birthdays or for tax-free payments in kind, and the option of quick top-up, the Pott-Card is also the simplest solution for employers.

History of the Pott-Card

The regional credit card for the Ruhr area was born from a social initiative in the first lockdown of the corona pandemic. With Helfen.Berlin and Helfen.Munich, a simple way was created to make favorite places visible. The B-CARD for Berlin and the Minga Card for Munich are the long-term, sustainable way to support local companies and are increasingly addressing regional employers as a solution for tax-free wage increases. Social commitment, regional support and employee benefits in just one product are now also available for the Ruhrpott region - with the Pott-Card.
