There are a couple of different student card options available for JAMKO members. We’ve gathered all the relevant info about the student card options here. You can pick one of these options or use all of them!
PHYSICAL STUDENT CARD
The traditional option. You can order yourself a physical student card when paying your membership fee in our web shop in Kide.app. Your student card will be delivered to JAMKO office in Rajakatu campus, and you can come pick up your card during the office opening hours. The physical student card is updated every year with a validation sticker, which you can also pick up from our office.
DIGITAL STUDENT CARD
Digital student card is always with you on your smartphone, and membership details are updated on the mobile app automatically every year, once you have paid your JAMKO membership fee online.
As a member of JAMKO, you can use either Pivo or Kide.app digital student card.
PIVO
You need to have a Finnish social security number and Finnish online banking details in order to activate Pivo digital student card. Pivo app can also be used to make payments, and Pivo student card is handy to have if you often have lunch at Rajakatu campus, because with Pivo app you can easily pay for your subsidised student lunch!
To activate your digital student card in Pivo app:
- Download the Pivo mobile app from the app store.

KIDE.APP
The new Kide.app digital student card was launched in August 2022. 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. Kide.app student card is a good option e.g. for international students, who may not have a Finnish social security number or online banking credentials.
