Services

Students who enrol in the first year of the courses of study of the University of Padua are issued a card with university badge functions, the Flash Studio Card.
The Card is automatically activated for university services, and it is possible to activate it for financial services.

Those who enrolled before the 2018/2019 A.Y.. and those who enrolled in single, postgraduate courses (e.g. doctorates and masters) or other types (24 university credits (ECTS credits)) receive the ordinary badge.

The University's electronic personal badge is used to identify those who have it as a student of the University of Padua, allows access to university services and can also become a card with financial functions.

It has a duration of seven years and remains valid both for the continuation of studies at the next levels and in the event of transfer to other courses of study of the University.

Upgrade for financial functions: Flash Up Studio Card (can be activated at any Intesa Sanpaolo branch)

Once you have received the card, you can activate it for financial functions, such as receiving scholarships or other economic benefits related to study.

The scholarship or other benefits can be credited to the bank details (IBAN) of your current account (in the name or joint), which must be entered in your UNIWEB reserved area, under the heading "Teaching - Personal data - Change refund data". It is therefore also possible to enter the IBAN of the Flash Card only after going to any Intesa Sanpaolo branch to request an upgrade. To transform the Flash Card into a Flash Up Studio Card, a nominative prepaid card, you must request it at any Intesa Sanpaolo branch. The card and its data will be maintained: same IBAN, same PIN, same user code, same expiry date and same CVV.

The Flash Up Studio Card is enabled both for outgoing transfers and for the receipt of credits in the form of salaries (scholarships, reimbursement of university contributions, mobility grants, tutoring grants, etc.).

The Flash Up Studio Card allows you to make payments at all stores participating in the circuit indicated on the card, in Italy and abroad.

The usage and charging limits are:

  • Maximum amount that can be valued on the card, € 10,000
  • daily withdrawal limit at automatic teller machines (ATMs), euro 500.00
