Johnson & Wales University : The jwuSource Card

The jwuSource Card

Expecting a refund or a credit from your financial aid award? The jwuSource Card is the quickest and easiest way to make sure you receive your credit balance. It offers the reliability and security of a bank-issued, prepaid debit card without the high fees.

In addition, parents can even make deposits into your account right from home. Since it’s a pre-paid account, you don’t have to worry about overdraft or credit exposure.

The card is as easy to get as it is to use. Before you can access your refund or financial aid credit balance, you must first log in to jwuLink (go to the Financial tab) to sign up for your card.

Once you've signed up, you can

  • Manage your account at MoneyNetworkedu.com  
  • Manage your funds online with bill pay options
  • Get free withdrawals at any Allpoint® ATM (America’s largest surcharge-free network) or participating ATM on campus
  • Cash jwuSource checks free at any Walmart location
  • Reload your account with funds deposited by JWU, you or your parents
  • Use it anywhere Discover® cards are accepted
