How Stellenbosch University Runs Its Cashless Campus with Digital Student Wallets
A practical look at the campus-wide digital payments ecosystem trusted by one of South Africa’s leading universities — and now available to institutions wanting modern, cashless operations.
A 20-Year Digital Partnership
Since 2000, Stellenbosch University has partnered with Eezipay to run one of the most advanced cashless ecosystems in higher education.
Each student has their own digital wallet, connected to residences, dining halls, laundry rooms, campus retail, transport and student services — all managed through one unified platform.
This integrated model has reduced admin, improved financial oversight, and created a seamless daily experience for students and staff.
