LionCash

LionCash is a flexible prepaid account that makes it even more convenient to make fast and secure purchases. There are a variety of different LionCash merchants that are available off-campus as well.

Make the Move to Mobile

With the mobile id+ card, Penn State students, faculty, and staff can access resources and make transactions by simply holding their mobile device to a card access reader. This new tap-n-go or tap-n-pay technology helps streamline campus operations and support the University's digital campus initiative.
