The MensaCard is a cashless payment method for all the facilities of the Studierendenwerk. It contains a very rapid contactless Mifare-Chip.
You can eat and pay cash-free in all the cafeterias and cafés of the Studierendenwerk with the MensaCard.
The MensaCard is issued in exchange for a 7,00 € deposit. You can load it up with cash at the register and immediately put it to use.
When you return your MensaCard, you get your 7,00 € deposit and any remaining credit back.
Your MensaCard can be loaded at machines in all the larger faciities of the Studierendenwerk as well as at the cash registers of the Service Points in the cafeterias, either with cash or your ec-card (preferred).
The minimum amount you can add to your card with cash is 10 €. The maximum value of your card is limited to 75 €.
Lay your card on the reader and in 2 seconds the funds will be deducted.
Remove your card and do your best not to damage or lose it.
