Rasheed Behrooznia, senior vice president and general manager of
Campus ID at Transact, highlighted the significance of this
advancement, "In line with our student research findings, which
showed 55% of students viewed colleges that do not offer digital
IDs as stuck in the past, the University of Sydney’s implementation
of Mobile Credential marks a pivotal step towards modernizing
campus experiences. This move not only aligns with student
expectations but also further propels the university into a future
where digital solutions enhance every aspect of campus life."
The University of Sydney, now ranked 18th globally in the 2025
QS World University Rankings, is pioneering this technology in the
region as the first university in the state of New South Wales,
setting a benchmark for security and convenience in educational
environments. This system allows for a seamless interaction with
campus services, reducing physical contact points and enhancing the
overall student experience.
“This secure technology innovation for digital IDs helps deliver
one of our key university strategies to have a better place to
work, and a place that works better,” said Chief Information
Officer, Sandie Matthews, at the University of Sydney. "This
implementation supports our commitment to improving operational
efficiency and promoting a secure, connected community."
Transact is notably the first mobile credential solution
provider to offer native near-field communication (NFC) contactless
digital IDs, leveraging billions of smartphones, wearables and
other devices for users worldwide. Since its launch, the Transact
Mobile Credential has been adopted by nearly 80% of eligible users
on client campuses and has been used to process over $300 million
in transactions.
