Lancer CA$H Account
The Lancer CA$H account is a prepaid debit account designed for the Longwood University Community. The account is placed directly on your LancerCard. Participation is open to any student, faculty, or staff member.
How it Works
Having a Lancer CA$H Account added to your LancerCard provides the flexibility and convenience of a debit card to use at on and off campus locations. It relieves your need to carry cash or visit an ATM every time you need lunch money - making your money secure. It also provides an alternate way to pay when credit card services may be experiencing issues.
You will receive your remaining balance at the time of each transaction. Your balance will display on the reader or be printed on your receipt. You can also manage your account online or come in to the LancerCard Center for a report. Money can be added any time by various methods of payment such as cash, personal checks, money orders, traveler's checks, MasterCard or Visa. Your LancerCard has your picture on it so you'll never need to worry about anybody using your card except you. It's that easy!
There are no transaction or set-up fees and no minimum balance requirements. You save money!
The Process
The Lancer CA$H account is placed on your LancerCard (Longwood ID card). The account works like an electronic checking account.
Whenever you make a purchase, your card is swiped through the card reader and the purchase amount is automatically deducted from the balance in your prepaid account. The cashier ends each transaction by checking your balance for you.
When you're running low at any time during the semester, you may add money to your account (minimum deposit amounts may be required).
