The Zip Card Merchant Program

  • The Zip Card/Declining Balance Program affords our faculty, students, and staff the convenience of a debit card program to purchase goods and services at on and off campus locations.

Accepting The Zip Card Is As Easy As 1-2-3!

  1. Download and print our merchant agreement or call our Zip Card Office at (330) 972-5637 and ask for a copy of our merchant agreement. One can be sent by email or traditional mail.
  2. Decide on your partnership level.
  3. Complete and sign and submit the merchant agreement. Upon approval a technician will contact you to set up your Zip Card reader so that you may begin to conduct transactions.

Benefits To Your Business Include:

  • We link your web page  to UA’s Zip Card Accepting Locations web page.
  • ACH deposits of your reimbursements makes getting your money easy.
