Click here now to make a deposit!
Your ColbyCard ID also works as your personal campus debit card once you add money to your secure card account for spending wherever the card is accepted on campus. Cardholders also have access to our ONLINE CARD OFFICE portal where they have the ability to deactivate their lost or misplaced card and reactivate if temporarily misplaced. In addition, all cardholders can easily retrieve their card balance or a card transaction statement for the past 12 months and view their board plan or Guest meal balance on the smartphone app or portal.
There are several ways to add cash to your ColbyCard account:
- On-Campus – Visit one of our 2 Cash Management Centers
- Online– Anyone may add cash to a student’s ColbyCard account with a debit or MasterCard & Visa credit card. Parents must use the “Guest/Parent” option.
- Smartphone APP (for students only) – Free iPhone & Android apps are available. Search for “eAccounts” on your app store
- By Check – You may drop off a check to the Financial Services cashier and we’ll apply those funds to your card account
- Student Account Transfer – If you have a credit on your student account you may request that all or a portion of those funds be transferred to your ColbyCard account without waiting for a check reimbursement to be processed
For your protection, no cash advances will be issued from your account. You may request a reimbursement of the balance of your card account prior to withdrawing from school or a week prior to commencement.
