Along with the yellow-and-black PayPoint logo is a green-and-white Top-Up logo. I have so far been unable to find much detail on the Top-Up logo, but here's what I have found. 1. The Top-Up logo indicates a place which sells top-ups for mobile phones and nothing further may be inferred. Yes, if it's a PayPoint system you can top up your electricity key and pay your gas bill as well as top up youir mobile phone, but the Top-Up logo only guarantees you can top up your mobile there. 2) It appears that Top-Up may be some sort of agreement between several payment processors. I have not found anything indicating who may display the logo but I know that both PayPoint and Payzone networks use it, as does the Tesco supermarket chain. Whether it's a formal consortium or not is something I have not been able to determine. The UK's 4 major Mobile Network Operators and many of the virtual MNOs simply say that you can top up their phones where you see the Top-Up logo. See, for example, https://ee.co.uk/help/help-new/billing-usage-and-top-up/topping-up-and-balance/how-can-i-top-up-my-phone#article-title-5 So prepaid_top_up:network=top-up. Ugh! And it's probably not a network as such but an agreement amongst payment processors and MNOs. -- Paul
