SAINT LOUIS- A Saint Louis University (SLU) student won a $1,000 Visa gift card from U.S. Bank. Justin Y. Johnson, a senior from Merrillville, Ind., entered a drawing during registration sessions earlier this summer.

U.S. Bank conducted special student banking promotions during the summer and back-to-school season on 231 college campuses.

“We are very happy for Justin,” said Mike R. Jones, district manager for U.S. Bank On-Site Banking. “To have Justin’s name selected among the thousands of entries is great. The U.S. Bank team has been busy selling Visa gift cards at branches in the region. They’re great presents for friends and family during the holiday season.”

“I am thrilled and ecstatic that I won,” said Johnson. “I would like to thank U.S. Bank for the opportunity to win the gift card.”

Saint Louis University is one of more than 30 colleges and universities that partners with U.S. Bank for a campus banking program. U.S. Bank has a branch and eight ATM’s on the SLU campus, and is the bank partner for the school’s multi-use identification card, called the SLU Card.

The SLU Card provides official campus identification and a variety of conveniences for nearly 20,000 SLU students, faculty and staff. In addition to being the school’s official identification card, the SLU Card can also be used for a variety of other services on campus including access to student meal plans, resources at the campus library and access to athletic events. For cardholders who also choose to be U.S. Bank customers, the SLU Card doubles as their ATM card on and off campus.
