Accept Campus Card Payments On or Off Campus
Today’s campus populations frequently make purchases for vending, micro-markets, parking, retail, cafeterias, and more using their campus ID cards. Whether you operate a business on or nearby a college, hospital, or employee campus, Apriva allows you to accept closed-loop payments from these ID cards. Whether you’re operating a vending machine, retail store, micro-market, or restaurant on or off campus, never miss a sale from campus populations again. In fact, our research shows that accepting campus card payments at vending machines alone on-campus increase sales by up to 25%!
College Campuses
Merchants on or near college campuses can use one payment device to accept both credit and debit, and campus card transactions. Apriva also supports payroll deduction, meaning campus employees can pay for on-campus goods and services with their employee ID card, and those purchases are deducted from payroll. Plus, college meal plans are coming soon!
Hospital Campuses
Employees have access to all hospital services and products with a swipe of their hospital ID badge, from cafeteria and food services, to uniform and equipment purchases/rentals. Plus, merchants can use one payment device to accept both credit and debit, and employee ID transactions. Apriva supports both traditional preloaded funds (declining balance), and payroll deduction!
Corporate Campuses
Employees have access to all services and products on the corporate campus with a swipe of their ID badge, from on-campus food services, to on-site healthcare or health and fitness. Plus, merchants can use one payment device to accept both credit and debit, and employee ID transactions. Apriva supports both traditional preloaded funds (declining balance), and payroll deduction!
So Many Use Cases, So Little Time!
Why Should You Accept Closed-Loop Payments?
Customer Loyalty
Merchants on or near campuses benefit from a steady customer base, with users incentivized to spend within the campus ecosystem. Meal plans and declining balances create ongoing demand, driving repeat visits, and off-campus merchants gain access to the campus community.
Increase Spending
Populations who use campus cards often view their funds as “preloaded”, reducing the psychological friction of spending. And for some campus populations – especially college campuses – this could be the only method of non-cash payment they have access to on or near campus.
Capture New Revenue
Realize a new revenue stream by tapping into campus populations, making it easier than ever for them to make purchases using their existing ID cards.
Streamline Operations
Campus card payments are typically faster, reducing wait times especially during peak hours. Gain inventory insights and simplified reporting through an integrated payment system.
Reduce Declines
Declining balance, or preloaded funds, ensures funds are available before a transaction occurs. Payroll deduction is reliable as payment is guaranteed as it is drawn from the user’s paycheck. Meal plans are also loaded in advance, ensuring consistent revenue and reduced declines.
Marketing Opportunities
Powerful transaction data from all payments – including campus cards – in one single Apriva back-office system offers insights to power data-driven marketing. Plus, you can’t put a price tag on brand visibility from becoming part of the trusted campus community.
