Core features of UniNow Pay
UniNow Campus ID Card

Direct integration with the digital student ID

UniNow Pay is seamlessly integrated into the digital student ID within the UniNow app. Identification and payment are handled through one and the same medium: students simply scan the QR code on their ID and are simultaneously verified and ready to pay. This reduces media breaks, speeds up check-in in the cafeteria, and enables fully digital processes – from identification and price group assignment (e.g. students/staff/guests) through to settlement. If desired, UniNow Pay can also be used independently of the digital student ID.

Digital receipts

Digital receipts

All payments processed via UniNow Pay can be linked to digital receipts. These receipts are available to users directly in the app – structured, accessible at any time, and without paper. Universities and student services benefit from less effort for printing receipts, greater transparency, and improved traceability of transactions, e.g. for inquiries, controlling, or tax-related requirements.

UniNow Mobile Payment SEPA

Easy SEPA mandate setup

SEPA direct debit mandates can be issued, confirmed, and adjusted directly within the UniNow app. Students no longer need to fill out paper forms or appear in person at service points – the process is fully digital, legally compliant, and user-friendly. For universities and student services, this means less administrative workload, fewer sources of error, and a faster onboarding process for new users.

UniNow Mobile Payment Overview

Clear overview of bank details and transactions

UniNow Pay provides a central, easy-to-understand overview of all relevant payment information. Users can see at a glance: stored bank accounts, active SEPA mandates and recent transactions including amount, date, and point of acceptance. This creates transparency and trust for students and staff. At the same time, it reduces inquiries to administration and service desks, as many details can be viewed directly in the app.

Benefits for universities & student services organisations

More efficiency, less operational effort, and a modern, fully digital campus experience.

Expand your digital campus infrastructure

UniNow Pay enhances the existing functions of your campus app – such as cafeteria menu, digital student ID or grade overview – with the key component of payments, thereby strengthening your digital campus infrastructure in a sustainable way.

Less effort in daily operations

By shifting payments into the app, you reduce cash handling and the need for physical cards such as top-up cards or cafeteria cards. This noticeably relieves cash desk staff and service points.

High acceptance among students

Since UniNow Pay is integrated into an already established campus app, there is no need for an additional registration in another application. Students simply use their own smartphone and benefit from a seamless mobile experience.

Flexible configuration

UniNow Pay supports different price groups, can be combined with digital IDs or other UniNow modules, and can be adapted to the existing processes and systems of your university or student services organisation.
