The Mobile Credential trend is gaining traction on college campuses

According to Campus ID News, “mobile-driven experiences are becoming a deciding factor in the process of choosing which schools to attend.” Students want greater access to their IDs and expect them to be available digitally. Decision-makers in the higher education sector face the pain point of solving for both security and convenience to address the new demands.  

The shift from physical to mobile ID cards offers many advantages, including enhanced data security, faster transactions, increased access control, less waste, and more cost-efficient management. Making digital IDs a key element in your school’s recruitment and retention strategy will help support departments that have to do more with less while giving students what they want.  

Colleges that don't want to be left in the past are exploring Mobile Credential options to solve for this, and now is the perfect time to consider joining the 133+ institutions that have decided to offer mobile student ID's with Transact Mobile Credential.
