Universities

Cash off campus
Does your University require a low-cost, easy to administer and effective system for replacing cash transactions and potentially other types of transaction on campus.

Our objective is to deliver an eMoney purse on a dedicated smartcard, or an existing University one, that will enable you to ensure all services are correctly paid and accounted for, at low cost via a secure payment system.

By adding sQuid to an existing University card you could use eMoney to pay for a variety of items on campus from; canteen, shop, car parking, photocopying, gym activities, student union bar, library fines,.... the list goes on.

The proposition for your students is around simplicity, speed, and security. An eMoney purse gives students the benefit of a non-cash payment service, and encourages easy and efficient use of the campus services.

The core features of the sQuid proposed service include;

Registration and issuing of smartcards via a simple, auditable process, with control of distribution on campus

Students can then activate the eMoney purse online via an easy to use web portal - registering name, address, password and card number to access the system

The stored value on the card is used to make a transaction - for example cashless catering - the student taps the card on the reader by the till, the purse is read and value is deducted

Card is reloadable, offline or over the internet, with value being deposited on the card when next used at a reader.

The technology platform used by sQuidcard is straight forward, using proven card and reader technology, which is already in widespread use across retail outlets in the UK.

• A back-office supports the sQuidcard platform, and would enable your University to access reports on transactions and general card usage information.
