Deposit/Load BG Bucks

What are BG1 Bucks?

By depositing funds to your BG1 Card, you can make purchases through a stored value or prepaid account, known as BG1 Bucks. Your account balance decreases as funds are spent. Below is a sample of what students at BGSU spend per term on programs and services where BG1 Bucks are accepted.
