Now verified for Banner SaaS, Transact + CBORD payment solutions give colleges an easier, faster way to modernize and move to the cloud
Transact + CBORD has earned Ellucian's "Verified for SaaS" badges for eight of its most widely adopted Integrated Payments solutions—making it easier for colleges using Ellucian Banner SaaS to adopt proven, secure payment solutions with confidence. The badges confirm that Transact + CBORD's solutions are built to integrate smoothly with Ellucian's cloud platform, reducing technical lift and helping schools modernize faster. This milestone reinforces the strength of the Transact + CBORD and Ellucian partnership and highlights their shared commitment to supporting higher education's shift to the cloud.
The verified solutions include:
- ePayment
- Payment Plans
- Cashiering
- Dynamic Bill
- SmartPay

- Transact Exchange
Ellucian's SaaS Verified badges confirm that these Transact + CBORD solutions meet rigorous technical standards for integration with Banner SaaS—minimizing integration headaches and giving colleges and universities proof that these solutions will work smoothly with Banner SaaS as they modernize their systems. It also gives schools real choice in a traditionally narrow vendor landscape.
"These badges are proof that Transact solutions work the way schools need them to — reliably, securely, and with Banner SaaS," said Chris Setcos, SVP of Partnerships, M&A, and Corporate Strategy at Transact + CBORD. "It's what schools have been asking for: less lift for IT teams, tighter integrations, and more choice when modernizing campus payments."
"When you're moving critical systems like payments to the cloud, you need to know everything will just work," said Allison Huggins, Associate VP, Finance at Polk State College. "The partnership between Ellucian and Transact + CBORD has given us great confidence that our integration would be smooth, efficient and well-supported."
The announcement also marks a strategic step forward for colleges and universities moving to the cloud. As SaaS adoption accelerates, institutions need proven, ready-to-deploy integrations that lower risk, speed up implementation, and reduce IT effort—especially for core systems like payments. Ellucian reported a 67% year-over-year increase in Banner SaaS go-lives in 2024, underscoring just how critical it is to have solutions that work out of the box. This milestone also reflects a broader shift across higher ed IT, where cloud-first, modular solutions are quickly replacing legacy, closed systems.
