Why did Stony Brook get a new campus card?
Research on new card systems began a few years ago and the campus was looking for ways to reduce cash transactions and provide faster and more convenient services to students and staff. These goals required a new card program. Services included will be debit-like transactions at certain locations around campus and security access to residence halls. The card, at the option of the cardholder, may become a banking debit card for purchases and banking related services.
