U.Porto Card

Introduction

Introduced in 2008, the U.Porto Card resulted from a partnership between the University and Banco Santander, which was replaced in 2023 by a new partnership between the U.Porto and the Caixa Geral de Depósitos Bank.
It looks like a simple card, but it's much more than that... the U.Porto Card is a "smart card" that integrates different technologies, contact and contactless, which allow access to a wide range of features and services within the university campus (library loans, access control, etc.).

It’s a smart card integrating different technologies, contact and contactless, which gathers several functionalities:

• It identifies you as a member of the U.Porto academic community;
• Allows access to internal services within the various organic units (library loans, access control, etc.);
• Access to other services provided by third parties, under special terms.

Aiming to encourage the use of the new U.Porto Card, safeguarding the existing functionalities in the different organic units that use the card and the implementation of innovative ones, the U.Porto Digital University (UPdigital) is currently studying ways to adapt the different systems to the new card.

Additional information about the U.Porto Card Project can be found in the UPdigital Portal.
