Dear Merchant,

Thank you for your interest in LionCash+, Penn State's online, prepaid flexible spending account.  Accessed by the Penn State id+ card, funds deposited into LionCash+ accounts can be used to purchase goods or services at participating on- and off-campus locations.  As a convenience to its faculty, staff, and students, LionCash+ account have been established for all 90,000 Penn State id+ cardholders (includes all Penn State locations).

As a participating LionCash+ merchant, your business would benefit from numerous services provided by the program, including:

     +  LionCash+ advertising and marketing initiatives

     +  Instant fund verification for safe and secure transactions

     +  The ability to process telephone transactions for food

         delivery services

What some of our participating merchants are saying about the program.....

"The several thousand dollars a week is a big benefit for us.  A lot of students do come in and don't have anything else other than LionCash+."

— Fran Johnson, Manager, CVS

"It's great for any business to have, especially since all of the new students are using it."

– Patty Collins, Manager, Family Clothesline

"The students were really happy when we began accepting LionCash+ ."

— Brenda Kelly, Manager, Cold Stone Creamery

"This is the best thing Penn State could have come out with.  We are getting more business from the program than ever before.  Some days we have the same amount of LionCash+ slips as debit slips....it's amazing!"

— Grace Mehalick, Manager, McLanahan's Student Store

LionCash+ transactions are even easier to process than most credit/debit card transactions.  Depending upon your current credit/debit card processing arrangements, related fees, and average sale amounts, it may also be more economical for you to process LionCash+ transactions than it is to process credit/debit card transactions.

We are very excited at the prospect of your business joining our LionCash+ program.  If you have additional questions, please contact us (814) 865-7590 or idcard@psu.edu.

Thank you,

Cynthia Kellerman

Manager, id+ Program
