How It Works
EOSC and Herring Bank have teamed up to offer you a convenient, one-card solution with the Mountaineer Card. The Mountaineer Card is a multi-functional card which allows you to open an optional checking account with free access to Herring Bank ATMs and to make no-fee purchases at merchant locations that accept Debit MasterCard or pin-based transactions.
Mountaineer Card Deposits - Designate Your Direct Deposit
The optional Mountaineer Card, if chosen, can be used to receive financial aid disbursements and all other refunds from EOSC. To sign up for your refund to be deposited to your Mountaineer Card or a bank account of your choice go to Self Service, you will be prompted to make your designation selection during your initial log in. Students who choose to use their personal bank account will still need to get a Mountaineer Card (without the banking capabilities) as a Student ID.
Students and parents can deposit money online with a transfer from an existing bank or credit union account. Visit the Herring Bank website to learn more. Cash deposits can also be made directly to your account using Western Union's "Direct to Bank" Service. Call 866-348-3435 for your routing and account numbers. Fees vary based on amount deposited.
