Frequently Asked Questions

How do I update information on my Digital BearPass Card?

The information on the Digital BearPass Card comes to us from the university’s core business systems and needs to be updated. Please visit the Registrar's website for name change information. Faculty and Staff should contact their HR representative to request updates. Once changes are completed, the updates will sync to the Digital BearPass Card on your phone within 48 hours.

Can I still use my physical BearPass Card once I have created my Mobile ID?

Yes, your physical BearPass Card will continue to function after you have added your Digital BearPass Card to your device. Remember, the Mobile ID is a privilege and benefit of being part of the Missouri State University community. Anyone found to be misusing their physical card or Mobile ID will be subject to the applicable Code of Conduct or HR policies regarding fraud and/or misconduct.

Why are my account balance(s) not displaying?

  • Account balances are currently only displayed on Apple & Samsung Galaxy devices
  • If your account balances are $0, they will not display until funds are added.
  • If you have available funds that are not displaying, please contact the BearPass Card Office at 417-836-8409 or email BearPassCard@MissouriState.edu.

Why do I have a negative balance on my Digital BearPass Card?

A negative balance can occur if you make a transaction when a retail device is offline.  When the device comes back online and the transaction is posted, you will see a negative balance if there are not enough funds in your account to cover the transaction. 

I used my credit card at a participating retail location when I meant to use my Digital BearPass Card. What can I do to correct my payment source?

Return to the location of the sale and ask the store to issue a credit card refund, then process the transaction against your BearPass Card.

I am graduating or leaving the University. What happens to my Mobile ID?

As with your physical BearPass Card, your Mobile ID will become inactive when you no longer meet eligibility requirements. If you transfer to another participating program or department at Missouri State University, your credential will stay active and update accordingly.

Do I still need my physical BearPass Card?

We recommend you retain your physical BearPass Card in a secure location as a back-up should you lose a device.

My balance is different on my device than in Transact eAccounts?

Confirm your device is not in Airplane Mode or experiencing any other service interruption. Updates cannot be made when there is no connecting service to sync data between Transact eAccounts and your device. The Transact eAccounts app will display the most current information.
