“ACI was able to go beyond our limitations and modernize in a way that gave our students the experience they expect.“

The challenge

  • OKWU’s existing payments platform was unable to meet the university’s growing needs and the customer experience its students expected
  • The university relied on a complex web of systems to handle student payments and campus transactions, making the payments process costly and confusing
  • OKWU needed to simplify its reconciliation process
  • In addition, it needed a payments platform that was compatible with its new SIS 

The solution

  • OKWU selected the ACI Speedpay solution based on its wide range of digital payment plan options and security for all types of campus payments
  • The university implemented a new mobile ID feature that eliminated printed ID cards and provided more secure, convenient contactless solutions
  • OKWU and ACI Worldwide worked closely to implement the full solution in just 60 days

The results

  • The enhanced functionality and improved customer experience led to an increase in payment plan participation rates
  • OKWU achieved substantial cost savings by migrating from printed to mobile IDs
  • OKWU also streamlined its reconciliation process, moving from three payment gateways to one
