Plattsburgh Debit Card

The Power of Choice

Beginning in January 2010, SUNY Plattsburgh will be partnering with Higher One, a financial services company focused solely on higher education, to bring a new method for receiving your refunds to Plattsburgh students - the Plattsburgh Debit Card. Please do not throw away this important card since it is your ticket to a faster refund.

Get Your Refund Faster

Simply put, your new Plattsburgh Debit Card is designed to provide you with increased choice when it comes to receiving your financial aid or school refunds - including the preferred "Easy Refund" method. Easy Refund is the fastest and easiest way to gain access to your refund money-literally the same day Plattsburgh releases it.
