The ESNcard project, launched in 2004, aims to create an international student card for all exchange students and ESN volunteers. The ESNcard gives students the possibility to benefit from unique partnerships, offers and discounts on the local, national and international level. In 2012, ESN created a website for all ESNcard holders and students to access discounts and deals offered by partners of ESN. ESNcard.org is a search engine that gathers almost 2.000 discounts from international, national and local deals around Europe.  

In 2016, there were 140.000 ESNcards distributed  to students around Europe. The ESNcard is used by over 500+ ESN sections in 40 countries. Furthermore, the website is a membership database for all 140.000 ESNcard holders. You can see the website at the following address: ESNcard.org
