Agreement will allow universities to leverage existing hardware to support mobile student IDs

Transact announced a new collaboration with HID Global that will enable Transact Mobile Credential to be accepted on HID physical access control readers.

Transact Mobile Credential supports student IDs in Apple Wallet and Google Pay, and enables students to use their mobile device to secure access to campus facilities and residence halls, as well as payments for dining, laundry, vending, and retail.

The agreement will enable current and prospective Transact Mobile Credential campuses to choose physical access control hardware from HID. Additionally, most installed HID readers can be field-upgraded to support Transact Mobile Credential.
