Interested in becoming a UMoney Merchant?
In July 2005, the Griz Card Center introduced the UMoney program as a convenience to the campus community and Missoula businesses. UMoney is the University of Montana’s official flexible campus spending program that anyone with a Griz Card can use.
The Griz Card Center makes it convenient for cardholders to deposit by providing numerous methods including in-person and online. Once the account is loaded with funds, cardholders simply present their Griz Card to merchants and funds are deducted using Verifone hardware connected to the Griz Card system. There are many benefits to being a UMoney merchant including:
- It gives you access to student purchasing power as UMoney can only be spent at accepted locations on and off campus.
- UMoney merchants have higher recognition levels among campus members and have increased marketing opportunities on campus.
- UMoney provides a low-to-no cost outlet by consistently advertising via the University's official TV channel, participating in campus events, and displaying merchant's promotional materials and menus in the Griz Card Center and during special events.
- UMoney Merchants are promoted through the Griz Card Center's social media.
- UMoney Merchants are featured on the interactive UMoney merchant map that cardholders use to find more information.
UMoney Merchants pay a commission on each sale and required to purchase or lease own a terminal that is compatible with the UMoney processing software.
