Getting your student card

Physical student card

If you ordered a physical student card, the card will be sent to JAMKO office. You will receive an email to your JAMK email address, when your student card is ready and can be picked up. The delivery time is 1-3 weeks.

Notice! Physical student cards ordered during JAMKO office’s summer break will arrive on August.

Digital student card

JAMKO members are offered several different student card options, from which they can choose the one that suits them best, or if they wish, they can also use several options at the same time. The digital student card is activated in a mobile app. There are 2 options for digital student cards: Slice and Kide.app.

SLICE

  1. Go to slice.fi/upload.
  2. Select JAMKO.
  3. Fill out the form to receive an activation code (the information you provide must match the information provided to JAMKO).
  4. Download the Slice app from Google Play or the App Store.
  5. Open the app and log in.
  6. Enter the username and password (activation code) you received by email.
  7. Accept the terms of use, as the application cannot be used without it. You can also check this in your phone’s settings.

KIDE.APP

You can activate your digital student card in Kide.app right after you have paid your membership fee in our web shop. In order to activate the Kide.app student card, you only need to have your JAMK login credentials for Haka authentication.

To activate your Kide.app digital student card:

  1. Navigate to the tab ‘student card’ in Kide.app Wallet, to activate your student card.
  2. Do Haka authentication.
