Tuudo’s primary mission is to make students’ everyday lives easier. In addition to essential services such as personalised timetables, academic records and other study-related services, students can also find features in the app that make life outside their studies more convenient, including valuable student discounts and job opportunities. Through a partnership with Resurs Bank, integrated financing solutions are now available in the Tuudo app – the Tuudo Mastercard credit card, which provides students with greater financial flexibility in their everyday lives.
The collaboration between Tuudo and Resurs Bank has resulted in the Tuudo Mastercard credit card, designed specifically for students. Students can apply for the card directly through the Tuudo app, while Resurs Bank is responsible for issuing the card and making credit decisions. The Tuudo Mastercard is a digital credit card that can be added to a mobile wallet on a smartphone or other mobile device.
The Tuudo Mastercard makes students’ everyday lives easier in several ways. It offers up to six months of interest-free payment time, flexible monthly instalments and, of course, greater financial flexibility – allowing students to buy now and pay later.
The Tuudo Mastercard also includes travel insurance when at least 50% of the trip’s expenses are paid with the card. In addition, Mastercard’s Priceless programme offers benefits such as access to presale tickets for various events.
Alexander Burman, Head of Consumer Commercial at Resurs Bank, is enthusiastic about the partnership. “Through Tuudo, we can introduce a modern payment solution tailored to the needs of students in Finland. By combining Tuudo’s strong position among students with our expertise in payment solutions, we have created a co-branded solution that gives students greater control over their personal finances,” Burman explains.
Pasi Maronen, CEO of Tuudo, shares this enthusiasm. “Our partnership with Resurs now enables us to offer the Tuudo Mastercard as an additional service, providing our users with significantly greater financial flexibility.”
Students can apply for the Tuudo Mastercard through the Tuudo app, but the credit card application is completed via Resurs Bank’s service. Resurs Bank is also responsible for making credit decisions and issuing the credit card.
With 50 years of experience, Resurs Bank provides financing and payment solutions for both individuals and businesses. Resurs operates in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark, serving approximately 6 million customers and employing more than 800 people across the Nordic countries. The company’s mission is to make payments and financing simple, flexible and secure.
