Transact Mobile Credential creates an ideal campus experience by offering secure access to facilities and residence halls and a convenient way to pay, all via mobile phones and watches. Transact Mobile Credential is natively integrated with Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, and Samsung Wallet, enabling students and faculty to navigate campus life seamlessly and securely. Continuous accessibility testing and proactive engagement with the latest advancements in assistive technologies highlight Transact’s commitment to adapt to the evolving needs of all users.

All transactions and access points are protected with the highest standards of encryption and authentication, safeguarding personal and institutional data but also providing peace of mind to students, faculty, and the administration, knowing that their campus environment is secure and resilient against potential threats.

"With Transact Mobile Credential, we’re transforming campus life by breaking down barriers and creating a more inclusive, secure, and seamless environment for every student," said Rasheed Behrooznia, SVP and GM, Campus ID at Transact Campus. "This isn’t just about technology; it’s a revolution in how students and faculty interact with their educational environment. What’s also exciting is that solutions like Transact Mobile Credential and Transact IDX are not only enhancing security and accessibility, but also providing campus leaders with significant gains in operational efficiency. These tools are reshaping campuses to be safer, more inclusive, and more effective in meeting the needs of today’s digital-first generation."

Technology is imperative to drive operational efficiencies in a campus environment and meet the expectations of Gen Z students. According to research from Transact, 72% of high school and college students view technology as an important factor in deciding which college they want to attend. Transact is at the forefront of this trend, offering a fully integrated mobile credential solution compatible with all major digital wallets. This comprehensive approach ensures that the entire campus community have the best user experience, regardless of their device preference or accessibility needs.

This journey began in 2018 with adopters such as the University of Alabama, the University of Oklahoma, and Duke University. These schools recognized the transformative potential of mobile credentials and partnered with Transact to pioneer this technology. Since then, Transact has grown exponentially, continually refining, and expanding its solutions to meet the evolving needs of modern campuses and supporting partners through those transitions. Today, Transact’s mobile credential solution is the gold standard in higher education, trusted by over 100 institutions globally, including the launch of its 101st client, Southern Utah University.

“We’re thrilled to bring our mobile credential to life at SUU, making it easier than ever for our campus community to access everything from secure buildings to dining plans, fitness centers, and even library or tutoring services—all through their mobile devices,” said Heather Garcia, Director of Student Involvement & Leadership at Southern Utah University. “The T-Bird ID launch represents a true collaboration across our campus, and we can’t wait for everyone to experience the convenience and benefits firsthand.”

“Our focus on seamless integration and forward-thinking innovation sets us apart in higher education. By supporting all major wallets and ensuring compatibility with most campus systems, we are helping our partners meet student expectations and enhance their satisfaction while also laying the groundwork for future advancements in campus technology,” said Behrooznia.
