Today’s students have access to the largest pool of discretionary dollars in history,
and currently, over 75% of student expenditures occur off campus. Instead of relinquishing
this revenue, you can tap into this profit source by implementing a flex spending program that allows for additional dining and convenience choices. Expanding your flex spending program increases student and parent satisfaction, pushes meal plan involvement higher and increases overall deposits. This growth leads to increased card usage in every aspect of campus life, resulting in higher revenue across the board.

• Students deposit dollars into school accounts
• Students make purchases in the off campus community
• Transaction fees are earned from merchant activity
• Portions of those merchant fees are shared with the school

“Not only has the program helped us to retain students, but has provided support to many of the local vendors in the OCS program. In the first semester of the program, 1,626 Endicott students spent over $120,000 in local restaurants and eating establishments. We are pleased to be able to help the community in which Endicott resides.”
