What GET does

GET is a unified campus card and transaction management platform operated as a product line of CBORD, accessed via the web-based GET Portal at get.cbord.com. The portal serves as a single sign-on entry point where students, faculty, staff, parents, and patients select their institution to manage monetary accounts (including declining balance and meal plans), order food, and access integrated campus services such as access control and dining point-of-sale. The platform is positioned as a consolidated interface that connects card services, dining management, and transaction processing rather than a series of standalone point solutions.

The product is deployed across two principal verticals: higher education institutions (universities, colleges, community colleges, and K-12 schools) as the primary market, and healthcare facilities (academic medical centers, hospital systems, and specialty hospitals) as a secondary vertical where it supports patient nutrition, staff meal programs, and credentialing transactions. The named customer base includes hundreds of institutions spanning flagship research universities (Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Cornell, Columbia, University of Michigan, Ohio State, Texas A&M, UC Berkeley), liberal arts colleges (Williams, Amherst, Smith, Wellesley, Swarthmore), state university systems (SUNY campuses, Cal State campuses, University of Texas campuses), and large healthcare systems (Massachusetts General Hospital, Yale New Haven Health, Banner Health, Bon Secours Mercy Health, AdventHealth, UCHealth, UW Health). A small number of Canadian institutions (University of Guelph, Nova Scotia Health) are also on the roster, indicating at least limited cross-border deployment.

The business model is not publicly disclosed in the source material: pricing is not listed on the portal, no go-to-market mechanics are described, and no parent-subsidiary, ownership, or investor information is documented beyond the brand association between GET and CBORD (CBORD's logo appears on the GET portal and the domain is hosted on cbord.com). Headcount is reported at 251–500 employees, which almost certainly reflects CBORD's total organization rather than a team dedicated solely to the GET product line. No funding rounds, acquisitions, leadership changes, AI/ML capabilities, regulatory actions, or partnerships are documented in the provided source material.

Others

• ID Wholesaler: ID Wholesaler supplies campus ID cards, printers, and accessories used alongside campus card systems like GET — an adjacent ecosystem enabler rather than direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Blackbaud: Blackbaud serves higher education and nonprofits with payment, CRM, and fundraising technology — competing with GET indirectly in campus payments and student engagement.
• Blackboard (Anthology): Anthology/Blackboard is a broad higher-ed technology suite serving universities with SIS, learning, and ancillary services — relevant as an incumbent that increasingly bundles campus commerce adjacent to GET.
• Atrium (Campus / Givex): CBORD (parent of GET) and Atrium/Campus by Givex offer broader campus card, dining, and credentialing platforms to higher education, overlapping GET's offering with wider portfolios.

Direct peers

• Heartland Campus Solutions: Heartland Campus Solutions provides higher-education payment processing, POS, and campus card solutions to colleges and universities — a direct competitor in the campus commerce space.
• Nelnet Campus Commerce: Nelnet Campus Commerce delivers campus payment solutions, stored value, and tuition management for colleges and universities — a direct functional peer to GET's closed-loop campus account platform.
• TouchNet Information Systems (Global Payments): TouchNet is a higher-education payment gateway and campus commerce platform serving universities with stored-value, tuition, and integrated POS services, competing head-on with GET.
• Transact (formerly Higher One / CashNet): Transact provides campus commerce, payment processing, and stored-value card solutions for higher education — directly overlapping GET's core campus card and money-management use case.

Emerging players

• Grubhub Campus: Grubhub Campus partners with universities on mobile food ordering and dining plans — overlapping GET's campus dining/food-ordering capabilities as a focused emerging competitor.
• Apple Wallet / Student ID: Apple (and Google's) support for student IDs in mobile wallets represents a platform-level disruption to proprietary campus card apps like GET, potentially shifting end-user behavior.
