Transact + CBORD has been awarded Ellucian's "Verified" SaaS badges for eight integrated payment solutions, facilitating a smoother transition to the cloud for colleges using Ellucian Banner SaaS. This milestone underscores the strength of the partnership between Transact + CBORD and Ellucian, supporting higher education's shift to cloud-based systems.

The verified solutions include ePayment, Payment Plans, Cashiering, Dynamic Bill, SmartPay, CampusPay, Transact International Payments, and Transact Exchange. These badges confirm that Transact + CBORD’s solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly with Ellucian’s cloud platform, minimizing technical challenges and expediting modernization efforts for educational institutions.

The achievement highlights the growing importance of cloud-first, modular solutions in higher education IT. As SaaS adoption accelerates, institutions require proven, ready-to-deploy integrations that reduce risk, speed up implementation, and lower IT effort, particularly for core systems like payments. Ellucian reported a 67% year-over-year increase in Banner SaaS go-lives in 2024, underscoring the critical need for reliable solutions [1].

Chris Setcos, SVP of Partnerships, M&A, and Corporate Strategy at Transact + CBORD, commented, “These badges are proof that Transact solutions work the way schools need them to—reliably, securely, and with Banner SaaS. It’s what schools have been asking for: less lift for IT teams, tighter integrations, and more choice when modernizing campus payments.”

Allison Huggins, Associate VP, Finance at Polk State College, expressed confidence in the partnership, stating, “When you’re moving critical systems like payments to the cloud, you need to know everything will just work. The partnership between Ellucian and Transact + CBORD has given us great confidence that our integration would be smooth, efficient, and well-supported.”

The verified solutions are now available for colleges to explore on Transact’s page within the Ellucian partner directory, placing Transact + CBORD among a select group of verified Banner SaaS partners. This development offers schools a modern, proven alternative backed by decades of experience [2].
