Universities provide students with currencies that can only be used on-campus for dining. Most of these students who live on-campus end up with an excess of this currency and don't know what to do with it, and they usually forfeit the excess money at the end of the term. Nationally, universities waste TENS OF MILLIONS of dollars a year that could be processed, transacted, recycled, and have a cut be taken out of the middle. On the other hand, many students who live off-campus find it very convenient to eat on campus, but without an on campus meal plan, find it too expensive to be a viable option. SwipeMeIn connects these two demographics while also donating 20% of profits to the local university and city food pantries/student emergency services.
