After a competitive selection process, Iowa State
University chose U.S. Bank as its partner to offer
students, faculty and staff the option to add
banking functionality to the ISUCard. Iowa State
University receives financial support from U.S. Bank
primarily in the form of royalties and card stock
which is used to support the ISUCard and other
student programs. Students, Faculty and staff are
not required to open an account with U.S. Bank to
receive the ISUCard and they do not need to have
a U.S. Bank account to use their ISUCard for other
card-authorized campus services.
Questions about the
University’s partnership with
U.S. Bank may be directed to
the ISUCard Office at 515294-2727 or by email to
