is xplore free to use?

The xplore mobile app is completely free to download and use to explore and discover all things local.

There is a small top-up fee each time you add funds to your xplore wallet. It's a single fee whether you top-up £5, £500 or somewhere in between.

xplore businesses offer an average 5.5% cashback on each purchase, which means that for every £50 you spend using xplore, you will enjoy £2.75 cashback. So you'll recoup the Top Up fee after just a couple of coffees!

By charging a small top-up fee, xplore businesses benefit from 0% card transaction fees.

With businesses spending billions on card transaction fees every year, xplore has been created to save independent businesses from increasingly high running costs, so that they can continue to be the beating heart of our local communities.

*xplore does not benefit financially from the top-up fee. Independent businesses do.
