European Student Cards should not require a new internal development project

Institutions often want to issue European Student Cards but face limited technical resources, uncertainty about where to begin, student information spread across spreadsheets or existing systems, difficulty creating digital Wallet cards, ongoing renewals and student changes, and the need to follow European Student Card requirements.

One service covering the full implementation

A managed implementation service focused on practical outcomes for your institution — not software you have to build and run alone.

A practical route to European Student Card implementation

  • No need to build a system internally
  • Faster route from decision to issued cards
  • Support from initial assessment through launch
  • Digital cards students can keep on their phones
  • Scalable from a small college to a larger institution
  • Support for annual student intake
  • Ability to work with existing systems
  • Clear implementation and support arrangements

Student cards available on the devices students already use

Digital credentials can be delivered through Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. Cards follow European Student Card visual requirements — including the ESC logo block (EU flag, “European Student Card” text and QR code) — so status can be recognised and verified. Exact Wallet features depend on the final implementation agreed with your institution.
