Cougar CASH is the convenient, cashless way to pay for products and services at many WSU campus locations.

A prepaid debit account that's part of your CougarCard; Cougar CASH has you covered, from vending machines to The Bookie with whatever you need, whenever you need it, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year!

Reminder: CougarCash is not the same as Dining Dollars within a Resident Meal Plan or Mini Meal Plan. Add Dining Dollars here. 

Adding Funds to Cougar CASH

When you deposit money into your Cougar CASH account, it becomes accessible through your CougarCard. As you make purchases using your card, the purchase amount is deducted from your Cougar CASH account. Your Cougar CASH is a debit account, not a credit account.
