Welcome to the National Entitlement Card Programme homepage.
The National Entitlement Card (NEC) programme is a multi-application smartcard scheme run as a partnership between the Scottish Government, Scotland’s local councils and others to make it quicker and easier to access services (such as transport, cashless catering, library/leisure membership, payments, concessions, proof of age) using one card rather than many.
National Entitlement Cards (NECs) are issued by the 32 Scottish councils and are just one element in a wider Scottish Government sponsored programme called Customer First which aims to encourage all local councils to share resources and create efficiencies to ensure that Scottish citizens have easier to access services and facilities at the first point of contact with their council.
The NEC is most widely used to access free bus travel througout Scotland. It is also used by young people to access cashless catering in schools, proof of age, and Young Scot discounts.
