Plaid Cash Deposits

Student Deposits

Students may deposit funds via Student Information Online (SIO). Simply log in to SIO and select 'ID Card' under the Campus Life tab. 

Individuals who wish to deposit funds into someone else's Plaid Cash account may do so online using a Visa or Mastercard. The cardholder's Andrew ID and the 9-digit account number printed on the front of the ID Card (begins with 8) is required. 


Faculty, Staff & Other Deposits

Cardholders who do not have access to SIO may deposit funds via the CMU Portal.
