| TECH OneCard |
| |
|
The college has partnered with Higher One, Inc. to bring you an "all-in-one"
ID card, the TECH OneCard. With this ID card, you can have the security of a
debit account - no more excess cash lying around to get lost or stolen.
|
| |
|
| |
The card can be used for all ID card services, such as checking out library
books, using the Student Recreation Center, purchasing items from our
bookstore and or meal plans from TSTC Cafe. Also, after opening a
OneAccount, you can use your card anywhere a MasterCard® debit card is accepted.
|
| |
|
| |
The card will be sent directly to the address you have on file with the
college once you have registered for classes and taken your ID photo. If you
need to update your address, please stop by the Admissions & Records office
in the Student Services Center, or fax changes to (254) 867-2250. Photos can
be taken at TECH OneCard Services at Recruiting Services from 8 a.m. to 5
p.m. Monday-Friday.
|
| |
|
| |
In order to use it for on-campus purposes and otherwise, the card will need to be activated by visiting www.techonecard.com. |
| |
|
| |
It is an FDIC-insured checking account that enables you to use the TECH OneCard at any of the locations MasterCard Debit is accepted. Cardholders can get cash from ATMs, write checks, send and receive money electronically from their accounts and monitor the details of their accounts online. On campus, you will find an ATM located in the Student Recreation Center. |

| |
- Open the TECH OneAccount, an FDIC insured bank account. Funds will be direct deposited to this account.

The TECH OneAccount is an FDIC-insured bank account that has no monthly fees and no minimum balance. When money is deposited into your account, you will receive an Easy Refund e-mail confirmation.
