Full-time employees of the University have two options for the type of Signature Card account they would like to have, a Signature Card Account, or a Payroll Deduction Account. Faculty and Staff may also purchase a Meal Plan Account.

Signature Card Account

The Signature Card is a debit account, utilizing the university ID card. Nearly all retail outlets on campus accept the Signature Card, including Dining Services, vending machines, the BYU Bookstore, WSC retail operations, copy centers, designated copy machines, ticket offices and computer labs.

To check your account balance log into Route Y and select the Signature Card and Meal Plans link under the Miscellaneous drop-down menu.

To add money to your account log into Route Y and select the Signature Card and Meal Plans link under the Miscellaneous drop-down menu.  On your personalized Signature Card webpage, select the Deposit link from the menu on the left.

Others can add money to your signature card using Quick Pay.

Deposits and balance inquiries are also available at most locations displaying the Signature Card logo.

Payroll Deduction Account

The Payroll Deduction plan allows employees to make purchases on campus and have those purchases deducted from their paychecks. Employees set a limit on the amount they would like to be able to spend per payroll period. The limit is reset on the first day of the new payroll period, and only the amount spent is deducted from the paycheck.

For staff employees, the deductions will come out of the check received for the payroll period in which the transactions occurred.

For faculty and administrative employees, the deductions will come from the check received at the end of the month following the payroll period in which the transactions occurred.  For example, purchases made in May will be deducted from the June 30th paycheck. Faculty and administration employees leaving the univeristy should contact the Signature Card ID Center as soon as possible.

Only full-time staff, faculty and administrative employees of BYU are eligible for this plan.

Meal Plan Account

Faculty, Administration and Staff living off campus may purchase a meal plan online.  Meal plans are contracted thru Dining Services, please be sure to read the meal plan terms and conditions.
