SUN Bucks cards cannot be used for online purchasing. All purchases must be made in-person at retailers that accept SUN Bucks.

Not all retailers accept SUN Bucks funds. For a list of retailers accepting SUN Bucks cards, please click here.


Retailers: If you do not currently accept EBT (which will also allow you to accept Summer EBT/ SUN Bucks), you may apply for FNS Retailer Certification to process EBT Transactions at the following link:

How Do I Apply to Accept Benefits? | Food and Nutrition Service [fns.usda.gov]

If you currently accept EBT transactions, but are having issues with accepting Summer EBT/ SUN Bucks, please reach out to whomever maintains your POS (Point of Sale Terminal) equipment to have the new MT SEBT BIN 984000161 added. The TPPs have added the MT SEBT to the BIN file that needs to be applied to your POS system.

Note: if you have followed the steps above and added the new BIN and are still experiencing issues, please let us know. 

Please contact the email SUNBucks@mt.gov or hot-line at (406) 444-0044 if you have questions or wish to opt out of the SUN Bucks program benefits.
