Student Card

Slice – Vamia’s digital student card

As a Vamia student, you are entitled to a free digital Slice student card. It serves as an official proof of your studies at Vamia and you can use it in the canteen. If you have the right to eat, the meal will be credited daily with the Slice app. In addition, the card gives extensive access to thousands of student benefits across Finland.

Depending on your studies, the student card is either blue or green. The Blue Card entitles you to VR and Matkahuolto benefits. The benefits are not available with a green card. However, the green card entitles you to all other student benefits throughout Finland.

Setting up Vamia student card:

Go to slice.fi/upload/vamia and upload your portrait for the card. Remember to use the email address you gave to Vamia.

Afterwards you will receive activation details to your email from Slice. Be sure to check your spam folder and in case you do not receive the message within 24 hours, contact info@slice.fi for assistance.

Swapping the card to another phone:
