UC Vending is making it easier for you to purchase your favorite snacks and drinks!

 

Soon, all vending machines on campus will begin accepting credit cards as payment. The installation process is slated to begin in late October and expected to take ....... to complete.

 

The machines will accept credit cards, Apple Pay, Android Pay, Samsung Pay, Bearcat Card or cash.

You will still receive a 10% discount when you make a purchase at beverage vending machines using your Bearcat Card (excluding Clermont campus.)

 

In addition to being more convenient, this improved technology will allow staff to see inventory in real-time.
