Transact Campus, a Roper Technologies company, has launched its Mobile Credential solution at the University of Victoria, marking the first deployment of this technology in British Columbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This launch strengthens Transact\u2019s position as the leading mobile credential provider in Canada, with University of Victoria marking the sixth major Canadian post-secondary institution now utilizing its pioneering technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expanding access and redefining student experience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transact\u2019s Mobile Credential has already launched successfully for select faculty and staff. The platform provides what\u2019s pitched as seamless access to campus services via Apple and Google Wallet, offering a user experience unmatched in the industry. With Transact\u2019s technology, the University of Victoria joins the growing list of Canadian colleges and universities implementing mobile solutions that are reshaping the student experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though Mobile Credential can elevate a campus\u2019 student experience, provide operational efficiency to administration and provide outcomes like increased security and reduced environmental impact, the move to Mobile Credential is a material change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transact is said to have  demonstrated \u201ctime and again\u201d its adaptability and ease of integration, regardless of the school\u2019s size or where they are on their journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s working with access control systems or helping campuses overcome specific challenges like exams – where traditional solutions have posed obstacles – Transact offers a flexible, streamlined path forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe understand that the adoption of mobile technology can seem daunting, but at Transact, our goal is to show universities that it doesn\u2019t have to be,\u201d said Rasheed Behrooznia, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Campus ID & Commerce. \u201cWe\u2019ve worked closely with some of the largest schools in Canada, including the University of Victoria, to ensure a smooth, scalable, and sustainable transition. The University of Victoria is a fantastic example of how our solutions can help schools of all sizes innovate and improve services for their students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mobile Credential: A game changer for Canadian campuses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transact\u2019s Mobile Credential stands apart by offering full compatibilities for both Apple and Android users, delivering an equally high-quality experience on both platforms. Furthermore, Transact offers full enterprise-grade solutions across the entire campus ecosystem, ensuring a seamless, integrated experience while providing clients with a trusted partner to guide and deliver on their campus vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transact\u2019s Mobile Credential solution empowers universities like the University of Victoria to modernize campus services by offering a flexible and user-friendly approach to accessing campus services. By introducing a digital solution, students, faculty and staff can enjoy streamlined access to essential services, from food purchases and athletic facilities to library resources. This transition reflects a growing trend among Canadian universities to adopt mobile technology that enhances convenience and meets the expectations of today\u2019s tech-savvy students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe University of Victoria\u2019s adoption of mobile credentials will provide significant benefits to the university community through contactless technology to access services, buildings and payment gateways,\u201d said Jim Forbes, Senior Director Campus Engagement, University of Victoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStudents will enjoy extended convenience by using their mobile phones and wearable technologies to buy food at participating outlets across campus, access athletic facilities, borrow books from the library, shop at the UVic Bookstore and more. This is an exciting innovation for students, staff, and faculty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability and modern student services<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The University of Victoria, known for its commitment to sustainability, has integrated Transact\u2019s Mobile Credential technology to further enhance its efforts. Students, faculty, and staff are now able to access key campus services – such as libraries, gyms and other facilities – using only their mobile devices, relying less on the need for physical cards and reducing plastic waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs part of our sustainability initiative, the integration of Transact\u2019s Mobile Credential aligns perfectly with our goals to modernize student services while being environmentally responsible,\u201d said Forbes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are excited about the possibilities this brings for our campus and look forward to future developments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With adoption numbers rising at the University of Victoria, Transact is poised to continue its expansion across Canada in 2025, helping colleges and universities embrace a more sustainable, student-focused future<\/p>\n\n\n\n
