Enhanced Mobile Access for Colleges through Collaboration between ASSA ABLOY, Transact, and CBORD
In the rapidly evolving world of campus security, mobile credentials are becoming a popular choice for access control. According to the HID Global 2024 State of Physical Access Control report, nearly 40% of organisations worldwide have adopted this technology, marking an increase from 32% in 2022.
This growing trend is evident in the collaboration between Transact + CBORD and ASSA ABLOY. The partnership aims to modernise campus security with mobile-enabled wireless access, providing ongoing investment in tools and experiences that support a smarter, mobile-first campus.
The alliance brings together experts with decades of experience supporting secure, connected campus environments. Transact + CBORD and ASSA ABLOY offer a network of security integrators and door-hardware specialists for installation, software integration, and service. This makes it easier for schools to integrate this technology into the campus ID systems they already rely on.
The benefits of mobile credentials are numerous. They allow students to unlock dorm rooms with a simple tap, enhancing convenience. Moreover, they improve security over traditional brass keys, as lost devices can be quickly deactivated, eliminating the need for rekeying locks or issuing new keys.
This shift in behaviour is reshaping expectations on campus, where students increasingly anticipate technology that blends seamlessly into daily life. Mobile credentials are a step towards achieving this goal, reshaping the campus experience for the better.
The partnership between Transact + CBORD and ASSA ABLOY has already supported nearly 100 campuses worldwide in enhancing safety and convenience. Schools interested in learning more about mobile-enabled access control can visit transactcampus.com/company/partners/assaabloy.

In summary, the adoption of mobile credentials for physical access control is on the rise, with nearly 40% of organisations currently utilising this technology. The partnership between Transact + CBORD and ASSA ABLOY is a significant stride in making this technology accessible and beneficial for schools worldwide.
Technology in education and self-development is being expanded with the growing use of mobile credentials in campus security. The collaboration between Transact + CBORD and ASSA ABLOY aims to provide mobile-enabled access, furthering education by integrating a smarter, more secure campus environment.
