Chip Card

The electronic purse helps speed up the payment process at our canteen and cafeteria checkout counters. Please make sure you always have enough money loaded on to your card - if you pay cash at canteens or cafeterias operated by the Studierendenwerk, you will be charged 10% extra. In addition, many of our canteens and cafeterias no longer accept payment in cash.

If you load cash on to your card at a canteen or cafeteria checkout counter although there is a load location nearby, you will be charged a service fee of €1

For questions and problems regarding the chip card please refer to the contacts at Studierendenwerk at your location (see down below).

If your card is damaged or defective, please contact your university first. Your university will issue a new card for you. After you have received your new card, the Studierendenwerk Würzburg will be able to pay your money out in cash (this is also possible if you are no longer enrolled at your university). For this, however, it is absolutely necessary that you bring your old card with you!

You can have the remaining credit on your chip card paid out to you by your contact person at the Studierendenwerk Würzburg (even after exmatriculation). However, we absolutely need your (old) card for this!
