A financial co-brand usually is an ISIC bank card which includes a payment function as well as the identity and benefit aspects of a standard ISIC card.

Financial co-branded ISIC (International Student Identity Card) cards combine the benefits of student identification with banking functionality, offering a convenient all-in-one solution for students. These cards are typically issued through partnerships between banks and ISIC, featuring both the internationally recognized ISIC status and standard debit or prepaid card features. Students can use them to access global student discounts on travel, shopping, and services, while also managing personal finances with features like contactless payments, ATM access, and online banking. In many cases, they are equipped with multi-currency capabilities, making them especially useful for international students or travelers. The financial co-branding often includes additional perks such as lower banking fees, rewards programs, or exclusive student offers tied to the partner bank’s ecosystem.
