Service efficiency and
enrichment
College students like mobile payment technology because
each transaction processes quickly.
The length of time they wait in line at the cafeteria, bookstore
or sporting event decreases, effectively increasing the number
of transactions the university or merchant can process.
There’s a lot of opportunity to improve the student
experience, and institutions can customize the transaction—
before, during and after—to fit their campus culture.
Administrative cost savings
While students might leave their houses and forget
their keys, wallets or IDs, they are much less likely to
forget or lose their phones. Removing cards from the
scenario reduces administrative costs in labor,
printing and maintaining inventories of credentials.
Greater Security
If a criminal steals a magnetic stripe credit or debit
card, he or she has access to that person’s account.
However, it’s very difficult for a would-be thief to
access sensitive information when the transaction is
made via a mobile payments solution that uses
tokenization and encryption. Additionally, since the
merchant wouldn’t process or collect the customer’s
information, the liability for the merchant decreases.
