Why This Matters to Scrap Metal Recyclers

The scrap metal industry is no stranger to obstacles. From complex payment processes to evolving compliance regulations, recyclers are under constant pressure to streamline operations. 

B4S was created with these challenges in mind, offering an innovative solution that addresses multiple pain points: 

  • Transparency & Efficiency: Real-time payment tracking reduces errors and ensures compliance with the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2023.
  • Cost Savings: Lower transaction fees mean increased business and supplier profitability. 
  • Sustainability: Our Prepaid Mastercard cards are 76% recyclable, reflecting a commitment to green initiatives. 

With the launch of our social media platforms, B4S intends to help scrap metal recyclers reach these goals while serving as a hub for knowledge sharing and industry updates.
