Bantam ID Off-Campus Program
(map of locations)

The Office of Campus Life runs the Bantam ID Off-Campus program to extend the convenience of on-campus living to local merchants. Using your student ID at the merchants listed below you can access your Bantam Bucks to purchase items.  Where you see this sign

your Bantam ID is accepted for payment. Of course, you must first deposit money into your Bantam Bucks account (same account as laundry, copy and vending machines, bookstore, etc.).

You can deposit money in three ways:
1. Check– You can deposit a check onto your Bantam ID by visiting the Business Office (Williams, First Floor)

2. Cash– You can deposit cash on your Bantam ID in three locations on campus: Mather Main Lobby, Raether Library and Information Technology Center and Campus Safety. (Bantam Bucks NOT Flex Dollars)

3. Credit Card- go to the following webpage and use your credit card to put money onto your Bantam ID (Bantam Bucks NOT Flex Dollars):
https://tcommerce.trincoll.edu

Once you have a balance on your Bantam ID, you can use it just like a debit card. The best part for parents is that unlike a credit card, students can only spend their Bantam Bucks at approved businesses (see below). Bantam bucks are also accepted on-campus at the Underground Coffeehouse, Barnes and Noble Bookstore, any Chartwells foodservice venue, most vending machines and laundry machines.
