What is Clutch Cash?

Clutch Cash is like having a debit card right on your Lehigh Pass (Lehigh ID). Your family members can add funds to your account at any point. And these funds stay in your account until you spend them.

Clutch Cash is a convenient way for you to pay for on-campus necessities including Lehigh Store purchases, laundry, on-campus dining, and the Clutch and Go Amazon Just Walk Out Store.

Once you add your Lehigh Pass to your Grubhub+ account, you will also be able to use Clutch Cash to pay for orders from any business on the Grubhub platform, including many of our great South Bethlehem restaurants.

Benefits:

  • Budget-friendly: You control how much is added
  • Safe and Secure: No need to send cash or worry about lost cards
  • Convenient: Your student always has spending power at their fingertips

  • There are no fees and funds carry over from semester to semester.
