ISIC Card - Facts

The International Student Identity Card (ISIC) was launched over 50 years ago as a student ID card, giving full-time students around the world access to special discounted air fares.

The ISIC is now also considered an all-round student lifestyle card. Its members still enjoy discounts and services on flights, public transport, telephone services, shopping, banking and many other products and services.
