# Multifunctional Chip Card: Payment Function

This source describes the payment capabilities integrated into the multifunctional chip cards provided by the Universität Greifswald.

## Key Details
- **Payment Integration**: The cards can be used to access the [[bezahlboerse]] (payment purse) managed by the [[studentenwerk]].
- **Usage Scope**: Payments are accepted at university cafeterias (Mensen) in Greifswald, Stralsund, and Neubrandenburg.
- **Funding**: Credit must be loaded via top-up stations (Aufwerter) located in Greifswald.
- **Privacy**: Use of the payment function is voluntary. No personal data is transmitted to the [[studentenwerk]]; the card only contains the parameter `Status=Mitarbeiter` to identify the user as staff.
- **Fund Recovery**: 
    - Users are advised to request a payout of remaining credit from the [[studentenwerk]] before returning their ID card.
    - Unlike anonymous green cafeteria cards, credit can be recovered in the event of card loss or defect.
