You will find our approach pretty unique: If you want to outsource your off-campus program, we can manage the whole process for you. But, if you want to run it yourself and just take advantage of our industry-leading technology and growing UGryd® merchant network, we will work to integrate one or more of the capabilities below to enhance your existing program!
- Advanced Technology. OCA's UGryd® Central Server Technology creates a 'real-time' connection with the campus and handles all transaction communication with the merchants. You get to eliminate in-bound phone lines, modem ports, and excess hardware on campus. Merchants will no longer have to utilize old dial-up devices. They can migrate to a faster and more secure dial or SSL/high speed. It's the right way to do things.
- Growing the Merchant Base. OCA will work with the administration and student body to determine attractive businesses to add to the program. OCA will then recruit, train, and manage the new merchants on the program. The ever-expanding UGryd® merchant network can be yours!
- Secure Transaction Processing and ACH Settlement. OCA's proprietary technology allows merchants to choose between fast dial up connections or transactions that process in under five seconds via the Internet. Our back-end reconciliation includes nightly auto-settlement. This automated service means no more check writing to merchant partners.
- Customized Marketing. OCA-designed marketing materials are proven to increase deposits for greater spending both on and off-campus. It is true that you have to have good marketing to have a successful off-campus program.
- RewardU!. Our proprietary RewardU! platform allows merchants to reward students for spending both on and off-campus. Students earn points with each dollar spent with the University ID. Points can be redeemed for prizes from OCA's major retail partners.
