CBORD Solutions for Off-Campus Commerce

Off-Campus Advantage expands the functionality of university-issued student ID cards by enabling local merchants to accept them as forms of payment. Since 1999, the company has provided its customers with a robust and secure off-campus payment platform. Its proprietary central server solution, introduced in 2002, eliminates modem banks, phone lines, and other hardware on campus. This leading technology is now available to CBORD’s Odyssey PCS and CS Gold campus ID card system customers to help accelerate the building of the Ugryd® national network of merchants, which links participating merchants with colleges and their students across America.

UGryd is one of CBORD’s latest product introductions. Working in tandem with Off-Campus Advantage, it is designed to link off-campus commerce programs across the country, allowing students to use their student ID cards for payment within their local communities and beyond. UGryd allows merchants to use a single POS device to accept funds from all participating universities, recognize the school from which the card was issued, and settle the transaction appropriately. No other off-campus program can provide this level of convenience!
