Payment options include credit card and Twint.

Depending on the request it is intended to extend the offer to further locations on the PSI campus. Please download the FELFEL catalogue to get more information on the offer.

For that purpose you can use the machines in both entrance areas of the PSI restaurant OASE (PSI East, cashless) as well as the Cafeteria Time-Out (PSI West, cash (CHF) only). The next ATM is located in Villigen.
