- Daily Commercial Discounts: The card gives you access to thousands of discounts in official partner networks in Lithuania: bookstores, cinemas, museums, theatres, student cafes and global tech/travel partners (such as FlixBus or Apple Education Store).
- 2-in-1 option (Bank Card + ISIC): In Lithuania, traditional banks such as Swedbank or SEB offer the possibility of issuing a MasterCard debit card that has the ISIC license integrated directly on the plastic. This way, you have a single card for payments, ATM withdrawals and proving your student status at the bus control.

- ISIC (International Card): It can be issued instantly in digital format directly to your phone via the official ISIC application as soon as you have received the official acceptance letter from the university (Acceptance Letter). Lithuanian transport authorities accept ISIC as officially as LSP, making it the perfect lifeline for your first weeks, when the national card is still waiting.
