Swift Card - Getting Started

The Swift Card Program is a Mastercard Reward card that can be used as a debit or credit transaction to pay participants in patient studies. Payment Services is the administrator of this card program.

The cards have no value until they are activated. Once activated, the participant can immediately use their card wherever Mastercard is accepted.

Departmental Users will be able to sign into the system and activate cards - all you need is an internet connection. The activation process is simple.

To ensure that your participants have sufficient time to use the cards, we are suggesting that you only order enough cards to be distributed within a month or two. Please enter the date you plan to begin activating cards in the Begin Date field. The End Date field should contain the date you estimate that all cards for this order will be disbursed.
