CardSmith offers a turn-key service enabling area merchants to
accept the campus ID card for payment. We manage the program and
merchant relationships end-to-end, from recruitment to terminal
installation to collateral fulfillment to automated funds settlement.
Many merchants will deliver to campus and make special offers
to students using the card. Clients receive a share of merchant
fees as royalty income.
