TechCASH Services

Do you need to provide MIT students or employees with TechCASH funds, accept TechCASH sales, or track attendance? DSL Business Services and Technology can help!

  • The TechCASH Rewards and Recognition program allows MIT departments to deposit TechCASH funds directly onto the MIT ID cards or students or employees
  • TechCASH Gift Cards are another option for providing funds to MIT community members when the department purchasing the cards does not know in advance who the recipients will be
  • MIT Student Groups in good standing can obtain authorization to collect TechCASH payments for goods and activities, either by renting a TechCASH mobile card reader, or by submitting an Excel file
  • MIT Departments can rent mobile card readers for tracking attendance and checking people in and out of events

MIT DSL Business Services makes TechCASH card readers available to the MIT Community for sales and events.  MIT Student Groups with SAO approval as well as MIT DLCs may use this form to request authorization to host a sale where TechCASH will be used to purchase goods and services, either through rental of a TechCASH card reader or by submission of an Excel sheet.  TechCASH card readers can also be rented for event activities where no payments are collected.

The TechCASH program is a great addition to the MIT Rewards and Recognition program. The convenience of a TechCASH gift is a great reward for any student or employee working on campus. From picking up their morning coffee to purchasing tickets, the TechCASH program has something for everyone.

The amount of the reward is entirely up to the local Rewards and Recognition program. Like a gift card, the recipient draws down the balance until it is all used.

To make a rewards deposit for MIT students by credit card, please use the TechCASH web interface: techcash.mit.edu.  Just enter the student’s MIT ID number and the dollar amount!

To make a rewards deposit for MIT employees by procurement card or credit card, please use the TechCASH web interface: techcash.mit.edu.  Just enter the employee MIT ID number and the dollar amount!
