Card
Since
our start in 1995, The University of
Alabama’s Action Card system has matured into a
campus wide enterprise system that, today, is an
integral part of the daily lives of our campus
community processing annually 6 million
transactions, $15.9 million in debit dollars and $5
million in meal plans. We maintain 500+ campus
readers, exchange data with 11 campus systems and
have strengthened UA’s town and gown relationship by
partnering for off-campus flex dollars acceptance.
In
our development from a small backroom operation 11
years ago, to a campus wide enterprise system today,
our strategy to utilize the system to benefit our
community has remained consistent:
(1) launch revenue
generators to balance academic applications
(2) search for cost
savings and business efficiencies
(3) improve the student
experience and provide strong customer service
(4) partner business
and technology for success in fully utilizing and
protecting system capabilities.
Our goal is to make the card system versatile,
continually evolving, and consistently dependable to
build customer trust knowing our customers must be
able to use their card as expected at any moment of
the day. Action Card prides itself on being the
“problem solver” for the campus by providing
solutions for campus needs as they arise.
