NFC Wallet & Mobile Access Credentials

The access card that's always in your pocket — because it's already on your phone

NFC Wallet Card

The Connect ONE Wallet Card Solution puts your access card on your mobile device as an NFC mobile access credential. Use your Apple Wallet or Google Wallet to access doors — just like everyday transactions. No apps, no need to unlock the device, and it continues to work even when the phone battery is low. Simply hold your phone to a compatible reader to gain access.

Works with Any Access System

Connect ONE handles wallet card provisioning and can transfer the associated card number into any access system.

Secure Deployment Validation

Before activation in the Wallet, deployments are securely validated using optional two-factor authentication and/or your organization’s Single Sign-On (SSO) identity provider.

No App Required

No downloads and no new logins to remember — users receive an email or text with a link to add the card directly to their wallet.

Seamless Management

All cards are managed directly within the Connect ONE platform alongside your existing access credentials.
