How do I add credit to my PCounter account with cash?

Adding credit to the system with the money you have in your pocket or wallet couldn't be easier. In various locations across the University, there are Cash Auto Loaders mounted on the wall for you to add money to your PCounter account.

Touch your card against the black box at the bottom right of the autoloader machine
Your current balance will be displayed on-screen
Enter cash - the Auto Loaders accept
- £1, £2 coins
- £5, £10, £20 and £50 notes
Your new balance will appear on-screen
When you've added as much cash as you want to, press the 'Finish' button
To print a receipt, press the 'Finish' button again and the receipt will be dispensed
Your balance will be updated within a few minutes, ready for you to use. Keep your receipt for your records. (see right)

NB: Auto Loaders do not give change. Any money paid into the system cannot be exchanged, refunded or transferred.

Remember, PCounter is a different system to the SAS and other schools' printing systems. Any credit you add to PCounter will only be available in PCounter areas.
