Cash alternative on the cards for college students

STUDENTS at Waterford Institute of Technology will now have even less money in their pockets. But it won’t have any impact on their spending power.

The college is introducing a new system that allows credit to be transferred directly to WITCards from students’ and lecturers’ owner’s credit or debit cards.

The new WITCards can be used at all newsagents, restaurants, retail outlets, bookstores and bars on the college’s campuses.
