How do I add money to my Triton Cash account?

Deposits can be made through the Transact eAccounts Portal, the mobile app, and over the phone but with your credit or debit card only. All credit or debit purchases require a $5 minimum deposit. Checks, credit, and debit cards are accepted in person at the office.

Do I need to register for the Transact eAccounts Portal?

Registering for the Transact eAccounts Portal is optional. If you want access to view your account balance and account activity online, or via the mobile app, then you will have to register through the Transact eAccounts Portal.

Does my Triton Cash ever expire?

No. Your Triton Cash balance will roll over into subsequent years. However, if you do not use your account during a 6-month period, it will be closed.

How can I close my Triton Cash account?

Students can close their Triton Cash account when they graduate or withdraw from the University. A refund will be issued via paper check. Please contact Triton Card Accounts Services to close your account.

What do I do if I lost my UC San Diego Campus ID Card?

If you lose your Campus ID Card, please contact our office at 858.534.4010 to deactivate your card accounts as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can log into the Transact eAccounts Portal and deactivate the accounts yourself. Our office can also offer you a seven-day temporary card, allowing you to continue to use your spending accounts.

How do I replace my UC San Diego Campus ID Card?

A new UC San Diego Campus ID Card can be obtained from Student Business Services (Campus Card Office).

Do deposits count as a cash advance on a credit card?

Deposits made with a credit or debit card count as a purchase, not a cash advance.

How do I dispute a charge on my account?

All disputes will need to be handled by the location where the purchase was made. It is recommended that you show a copy of your transaction history showing the disputed charges to the store manager. Your transaction history is available at the Transact eAccounts Portal, or you may request a printout from Triton Card Accounts Services.
