Termination of Flexicard Service from 1 Jul 2016

News Tuesday, December 1, 2015 - 14:02

With Octopus payment now accepted on all Library printers and copiers, the Library has decided to gradually phase out the Flexicard service and will terminate the support for Flexicards after 30 Jun 2016 in order to save the cost of maintaining the service.  New Flexicards are no longer available for sale in the Library.  Payments by Flexicards are still accepted in some Library printers until 30 Jun 2016.

If you still own a Flexicard and would like to refund for the card deposit, please approach the Technical Support Desk, 3/F, Library, on or before 30 Jun 2016.  Refund requests after this deadline will not be accepted.  Please note that the Library will not refund any remaining valued stored in the card.  You are therefore reminded to use up the remaining stored value in your Flexicard as soon as possible and not later than 30 Jun 2016.  You can check the remaining value at 3/F Technical Support Desk with your Flexicard or by using the Flexicard readers available in two B&W printers in 3/F Multimedia Commons.

For further enquiries regarding the above, please contact our 3/F Technical Support Desk in person or by phone at 2766-6890.
