LAS VEGAS (Jan. 8, 2010) – University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) has selected Wells Fargo as the new financial services provider for the RebelCard, a multifunctional campus identification card designed to provide students, faculty, and staff a single, convenient card to use for a variety of purposes on and off campus.

Starting in January, RebelCard holders can use their card for access to Wells Fargo and Wachovia ATMs, off-campus PIN-debit card purchases, campus facility access, library services, and for their meal plans. RebelCash purchases can still be made on campus for printing and copying, dining, bookstore purchases, laundry, and vending.

“We are very excited to offer this opportunity with Wells Fargo for our students, faculty, and staff,” said Adam Cronis, UNLV student body president. “After a competitive request for proposal process, we selected Wells Fargo because of the company’s commitment to the community and its track record in the campus card market.”

RebelCard holders who link their cards to Wells Fargo checking and savings accounts will have access to Wells Fargo Online^® Banking for banking from their computer and Wells Fargo Mobile^SM Banking for banking on-the-go via text messages or a mobile web browser. Also available to RebelCard holders: Bill Pay, Direct Deposit, Account Alerts, and access to more than 12,000 Wells Fargo^® and Wachovia ATMs in 39 states – including over 200 in the Las Vegas area.

“Wells Fargo is pleased to become part of UNLV’s campus card program,” said Kirk V. Clausen, Wells Fargo Regional President in Nevada. “We are committed to building lasting relationships with our customers and helping them reach their financial goals. We are incredibly excited about this opportunity to work more closely with our friends in the UNLV community.”
