Six colleges and universities have chosen Minneapolis-based U.S. Bank to provide enhanced banking services to their students, faculty and staff via each school’s campus card. The bank will provide the technology for the banking functionality for each school’s identification card, turning the card into an ATM and PIN-based debit card when linked to a U.S. Bank checking account.

For cardholders who choose to open an account at U.S. Bank, these new identification cards will double as their ATM card on and off campus, and can be used as a debit card at merchants in the United States that accept Visa PIN debit.

The six schools are Benedictine University, Lisle, Ill.; Carroll University, Waukesha, Wis.; Chicago State University, Chicago; Johnson County Community College, Overland Park, Kan.; Milwaukee Area Technical College, Milwaukee, Wis. and Waukesha County Technical College, Pewaukee, Wis.

In addition to these, U.S. Bank partners with more than 40 colleges and universities to provide a campus banking program, including San Diego State University, Iowa State University in Ames, Xavier University, Cincinnati, and Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill.
