Instructions for using the Swedbank ISIC Mastercard Student Card as a Public Transport Card (Ühiskaart)

  1. Swedbank ISIC Mastercard Student Card can be used to prove the right to travel and travel benefits in the joint public transport ticket system of Tallinn and Harju County.
  2. In order to use the bankcard as a Public Transport Card (Ühiskaart) the card holder needs to have an Estonian ID code. If a foreign student gets their Estonian ID code after the card’s issuing date the Student Card needs to be repersonalised online at www.pilet.ee to be used as a Public Transport Card (Ühiskaart). There is no need to order a new card.
  3. Register the card. To do so, open a menu item Ühiskaart » Card personalization » ISIC cards on the United Tickets webpage www.pilet.ee, enter your personal ID code and click on button „Register cards“. All active cards found in the MinuKool database linked with the entered personal ID code will be registered in the ticket system at once. If you get a new card because the previous one has expired, is lost or stolen, you do not need to reregister it.
  4. However, if you get a new card because you have filed in a new card order, the card needs to be registered, since it will have a new ISIC card serial number.
  5. A card registered in the ticket system may be used until the end of the expiry of the card, except in case the user’s student of teacher status ends or the user closes their bankcard before the expiry date printed on the card. In such a case the card is deactivated and a notice thereof will be automatically sent to the ticket system.
  6. You will find the list of your valid and activated cards upon logging in to the ticket system.
  7. Buying a ticket. The cards linked with the ticket system function similarly to the green Public Transport Card (Ühiskaart). Tickets can be bought onto the card by personal ID code online at www.pilet.ee, over a mobile phone or at any ticket sales point. You can purchase personalised public transport tickets with various terms of validity onto the card and verify your right to travel benefits (for example, free right to travel).

If you have any questions do not hesitate to write to info@minukool.ee or info@unitedtickets.ee.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Using cash not only brings environmental issues but also may support the shadow economy. By moving from cash to digital payments, we can protect our planet, remove the anonymity of transactions, and even more - save time spent managing money.
  1. Pay digitally. It helps you track your expenses, set the limits for certain expense categories, and identify where you can manage your consumption habits.
  2. Be aware of non-recyclable receipts. Paper receipts are made from non-recyclable thermal paper. When paying by card, ask for a paperless receipt which you can receive online by e-mail or opt-out.
  3. Contactless payments are clean and hygienic. By using contactless payments, you can reduce the physical contact between different people who are exchanging banknotes or touching the ATM.

The total volume of card payments in the Baltics increased by 45% during the last 6 years. Paying by card is hygienic, quick and flexible - use contactless or chip and PIN transactions.
