Kent’s number-one pre-paid card

Did you know you may be in possession of this number-one card, without really understanding its full potential? Yes, that’s right – your ID card, also known as a KentOne card does more than just tell us who you are!

What’s all the fuss about?

Your KentOne card can even save you money!

  • Cashless card – If you log in online to add credit to your KentOne account, you’ll be able to use your card to pay in a range of outlets
  • Library card – You need your KentOne card to enter, exit or borrow items from either Templeman or Drill Hall libraries
  • Sports membership – If you are a member of Kent Sport, you will need your KentOne card to access the gym and other sporting facilities on campus

Sound good! So how do you use it?

The KentOne card uses contactless technology, so you’ll just need to tap it on the correct contactless machine for access. It also works the same way as your contactless debit/credit card when you use it to pay at one of our outlets around campus, with some outlets even offering a 10% discount when you do!  

How do I put money onto my card?

You can top up your KentOne card online – it’s easy! Simply create a KentOne account to get started. Once you’ve logged in, you can top up your card, view your balance and track your account activity. Just check out the steps below to get started!

 

 

 

 

 

I don’t have a KentOne card. How can I get one?

Staff will be given a KentOne card by your school/department administrator, prior to your first day. If you do not have a KentOne card it can be requested online (you will need to obtain authorisation from your department). Students will receive their KentOne card when they arrive on campus.
