RegardingID Archive | Students manage Broncobucks via new online service

Monday, March 30, 2009

Boise State University students who use Broncobucks, the Idaho school’s debit card which is part of the university’s campus card program, can now add funds to their accounts via an online transaction system developed in conjunction with the school’s campus card provider, CBORD.

The push for this new online system started when students in housing found that laundry machines and other services accepted only Broncobucks instead of cash. They needed a way to determine their account balances.

The Web site allows students to check their Broncobucks and meal plan account balances, check transaction history, report lost or found cards, deposit money and a special feature that allows students to give guests, mainly parents or other family members, access to their accounts.
