General Meters Corporation Assists Wisconsin Lutheran College in Expanding Cards to Banking

 

Based on student feedback from recent surveys we learned that the students of Wisconsin Lutheran College wanted the ability to use their card for purchases on—and off—campus.  Through a partnership with U. S. Bank our students are now able to do that!

Just a little over a year ago, we contacted our card vendor, General Meters and inquired on the feasibility of adding the banking functionality to our cards.  General Meters gladly made the necessary changes to allow us to move forward.  One of the most important steps was creating and encoding each of the new cards with a unique 16-digit ISO number.  There was also a small amount of reprogramming that had to take place on our end.  General Meters helped us facilitate both of these important steps.  Our students now have the option to add ATM and point-of-sale debit features to their card simply by opening a student checking account with U.S. Bank.

The new Warrior OneCard offers students a convenient, easy and safe way to make purchases and utilize campus services.   Our students continue to have the card features they depend on, and now we are pleased to offer them the convenience and features that U.S. Bank has to offer.
