Q: Is UMoney a debit card program?

A: Not quite. UMoney is a prepaid flexible spending account, not a debit program. This means that you cannot withdraw cash from of your UMoney account like you could with a Debit Card. UMoney may only be used at one of our many vendors located both on and off-campus.

Q: Does my UMoney expire if I don't use it?

A: No. Your UMoney does not expire as long as you are affiliated with the University. Balances roll over from one semester into the next. UMoney is not a use-it-or-lose-it program, it is a use-it-whenever-you-like program.

Q: How is my account protected?

A: Your UMoney card is also your University ID Card, so when you present it for purchases you will be providing the merchant with your photo and signature. Our merchants are then responsible to make sure the person using the Griz Card matches the photo ID and signature.
