to pay
The student/employee pass or the refectory card acts as a cashless means of payment at all the facilities run by the Studierendenwerk. You can use them to pay at the following places:
How do you benefit? The pass or card has a very fast, contactless Mifare chip.
Simple and easy
You can top up the credit on your chip card directly at the tills in our refectories and cafeterias after making a purchase by using Autoload, the cashless card payment service, as soon as the credit on your card has reached a set lower limit.
Then you will always have enough credit on your card.
ZYou can also use topping up points to replenish the credit on your chip card with your giro card. You will find these kinds of EC topping up stations in each refectory. Upgrading is also possible at the payment terminals in the InfoPoints, cafeterias and some checkouts in the dining halls. A cash valoriser is located in the Tübingen University Library.
Attention: Many direct banks (such as ING, DKB, etc.) will no longer issue their customers with giro cards from 1 July 2023, as the provider Mastercard is discontinuing the Maestro payment system worldwide. So-called debit cards will then be used as an alternative.
This decision also has far-reaching effects on the Studierendenwerk’s payment transactions. Please note that our payment machines do not yet support debit or credit cards! In these cases, it is only possible to revalue your student ID cards and canteen cards during opening hours at the payment terminals/checkouts of the cafeterias and canteens as well as via Autoload.
