Transact Campus Adds Samsung Wallet to Ecosystem of Partners
New Partnership Enables Transact’s Clients to Leverage Mobile Credential Offering on Samsung Galaxy Devices
SCOTTSDALE, AZ – July 27, 2023 – Transact Campus (“Transact”), the award-winning leader in innovative mobile credential and payment solutions for a connected campus, recently announced a strategic partnership to offer NFC-enabled Transact Mobile Credentials using Samsung Wallet. This marks another first for Transact and underscores their dedication to transforming the student experience by bringing secure, mobile-centric solutions to campuses.
“We’re excited to partner with Samsung and broaden our reach with mobile device providers to help more students get connected,” said Nancy Langer, CEO, Transact. “This partnership reinforces our commitment to providing a secure, convenient, and innovative experience on campus.”
The addition of Samsung Wallet provides Transact-enabled campuses with a broader range of devices to access Transact’s award-winning products. Partnering with Samsung, an industry-leading mobile and technology company, will help participating colleges and universities that rely on Transact’s technology continue to provide fast and easy transactions – all on their mobile device.

Transact Campus is also the first to implement digital student IDs on Android wearables, which include Samsung Galaxy watches[1]. On select phones, this partnership also allows users to access their credentials even after their phone has powered down due to low battery[2], thanks to a newly implemented power reserve feature.
