Caixa IU Card | Special Financing Conditions
The CGD card is for all students.
Over the years, Caixa has established protocols with Higher Education Institutions, through which it grants financial benefits to the entire academic population and is responsible for issuing Identification Cards, after the respective request from the students and after confirmation of enrolment by the School itself.
ISMAT has a protocol with Caixa, which offers you two options:
- Option 1: Simple ID card;
- Option 2*: ID card associated with a Caixa bank account with various associated advantages.
* It is not compulsory to open an account or use an ATM card.
