Banana Bucks is a prepaid stored value program that allows funds to be loaded onto the Gorilla Card. The balance carries over from semester to semester. With Banana Bucks, you get the convenience of cash without the need to carry a pocket full of coins. To receive a refund from your Banana Bucks Account you must be a student graduating, transferring or withdrawing from the University; or a non-student employee ending employment, and the balance must be greater than $15.00. A refund request form must be completed at the Gorilla Card Office to receive your refund.

If a request for refund is not received within 12 months of leaving the University, the balance of funds in your Banana Bucks account will be turned over to the State Treasurer’s Office as unclaimed property. The University will assess an administrative fee of up to $15 on all Banana Bucks accounts 12 months after the account holder has left the University.

Funds can be added to your Banana Bucks Account at the following locations:

• Gorilla Geeks 109 Whitesitt

Important news for your parents, family and friends. Deposits can be made to your Banana Bucks account without a login using the Guest Deposit feature. The 9-digit PSU ID Number for the account and a valid credit card is all that is required.  Please keep in mind, Banana Bucks can be used on-campus only and is different than your checking account, which can be used both on- and off-campus.
