Why move to NFC Wallet for access control?
Frictionless experience
NFC Wallet access credentials and keys work just like Apple Pay or Google Pay, allowing fast and secure physical access. No searching for an app, QR code, physical card or key fob, together with the convenience of full digital pass lifecycle management.
Save money
Mobile wallet ID passes avoid the costs and delays incurred with physical IDs – from printing and programming to distribution and replacement. Flexible NFC Wallet readers can significantly reduce operational overheads and migration costs.
Improved security
NFC-enabled digital access passes are protected by the strong security of Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. NFC access passes can’t be copied or shared like QR codes, and wallet credentials can be unlocked using biometrics on the phone.

Who is using VTAP NFC Wallet readers for access control?
Why is VTAP technology better for access control?
Easy migration
VTAP readers simplify migration to the ‘just tap’ NFC Wallet experience for access via turnstiles, access gates and digital door locks. A universal range of connectivity options ensures NFC Wallet readers can be quickly and easily integrated with legacy access infrastructure.
Greater control
VTAP NFC Wallet pass readers can be directly connected to user management platforms, existing access control systems and physical doors and gates, giving businesses greater control over on-site services, reducing operational overheads and collecting new data insights.
Future proof
VTAP readers are certified for Apple VAS & Access/ECP2, Google Smart Tap, NXP MIFARE2Go and wallets/apps using Host Card Emulation. As the mobile wallet evolves, VTAP readers will support future digital identities and security technologies via firmware updates and secure remote management of keys.
How does VTAP simplify integration with access systems?
VTAP technology is designed for use by businesses, logical and physical access vendors, system integrators and installers.
Legacy technology support
VTAP readers work with RFID cards, tags, wristbands and fobs, supporting either continued use or migration from existing access technologies. Readers can be seamlessly integrated with systems using Wiegand, OSDP, RS485 & IP connectivity, including support for read input from external barcode and QR scanners.
NFC pass integrations
Works with any Apple Wallet and Google Wallet pass issuance and credential management platform that supports NFC, using the standard Apple and Google developer APIs. Many wallet pass issuance platforms and credential management systems are already integrated with VTAP.
