Transact rolls out Android NFC student IDs at 16 US universities

Campus card solutions provider Transact has rolled out support for Android NFC student IDs, integrated with Google Pay, to 16 US universities.

Using Transact and third-party NFC-enabled reader hardware, universities can facilitate a variety of mobile ID transactions at dining halls, athletic facilities, libraries, campus events, bookstores, laundry rooms, as well as off-campus locations where student IDs are accepted.

Transact has supported student ID cards on iPhone and Apple Watch since 2018 and unveiled its Transact Mobile Credential for Google Pay in January.
