Many businesses are replacing ID cards, QR codes and key fobs with NFC-enabled membership passes in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, simplifying and enhancing the overall on-site member experience.
Why is check-in better with NFC membership cards in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet?
Frictionless experience
NFC membership passes work just like Apple Pay or Google Pay. Members simply tap their phone or Apple Watch on a reader for super-fast check-in, without having to search for an app or QR code, physical card or key fob.
Save money
Mobile wallet membership passes avoid the costs and delays incurred with physical IDs – from printing to distribution and replacement. NFC eliminates account sharing with low security QR codes, reducing queues at peak times.
Strategic insights
Online management systems collect real time data and insights, to drive up membership engagement and satisfaction. Gives businesses greater strategic control over all on-site member touchpoints.

Where can NFC Wallet check-in be used?
NFC Wallet passes enhance the overall check-in experience for many sectors where membership status and permissions need to be quickly checked in a public venue:
Gyms and sports clubs
Gym chains and other sports clubs are using Apple Wallet and Google Wallet NFC passes, replacing QR codes, key fobs, wristbands and ID cards. They are being used for front desk check-in, gym/studio access, class check-in, checking into fitness equipment and controlling access to other gym amenities.
Private members clubs
Private membership clubs are giving their members the ultimate front desk check-in experience, using membership passes in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. NFC membership cards are also used to check in to events and validate member benefits in restaurants and other areas.
Healthcare
Public and private healthcare service providers are issuing their scheme members with NFC passes in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, instead of physical ID cards. Service users simply ‘tap’ to check in for doctor and hospital appointments and pick up prescriptions from pharmacies.
Other sectors are exploring using NFC Wallet for check-in. These include the travel sector for VIP membership, sports venues for VIP benefits, and manufacturers for audit/check-in processes.
