Enabling smooth and secure membership ID solutions
Whether for gyms, health clubs or private members clubs, NFC-enabled mobile wallet passes provide new ways to gain entry, check in at reception, access club facilities, and interact with other on-site systems with a simple tap.
Because NFC wallet passes are so quick and easy to use with our VTAP NFC readers, they make check in and membership validation a breeze – providing members with a hassle-free ‘just tap’ experience, streamlining club processes and attracting new customers who want the convenience of using their smart devices to carry out their everyday tasks.
Fast and convenient user verification
VTAP NFC Wallet readers automatically select the correct membership pass when a phone or Apple Watch is tapped, enabling members to breeze through a door and check in at a front desk without having to search for a QR code or a physical card.
People always have their phones within reach, so they’re easier to use, and forgotten and lost plastic cards or fobs become a thing of the past.
The Apple Wallet and Google Wallet apps are always on standby for immediate use, just as they are for contactless payment.
And VTAP readers are fully compatible with existing access control systems and front-desk software, making system upgrades easy.
Highly secure
Many existing RFID card implementations allow IDs to be cloned all too easily with readily available low-cost equipment.
NFC Wallet passes leverage the security architectures of Apple Wallet and Google Wallet – all pass data exchanged over NFC with VTAP readers is securely encrypted.
An organisation’s NFC Wallet passes can only be accessed by reader hardware configured with the correct authentication keys.
And unlike QR codes, NFC passes can’t be copied through simple screen-grabs or photos.
Fast, efficient & economical
You can issue NFC wallet cards instantly via SMS, email, or app. You’ll avoid many of the delays and costs of the physical ID lifecycle – from procurement, printing and distribution, to administering forgotten, lost or stolen cards. Users can block a lost or stolen mobile device via the appropriate ‘Find My Device’ app – restoring their wallet contents when they have recovered or replaced their phone.
Kinder to the environment
Digital wallet passes avoid the need for plastics used to produce physical IDs such as cards, fobs and wristbands.
VTAP readers – designed for easy integration
Legacy & mixed ID-media support
In addition to NFC wallet passes, VTAP readers also support popular RFID technologies – such as MIFARE. This mixed media support makes migrations from plastic to digital cards seamless and straightforward to manage.
Flexible form factor & connectivity options
VTAP readers have an extensive range of connectivity options, including USB and RS-232 serial interfaces. Available in a compact ergonomic counter-top case, VTAP readers occupy a small footprint and can have a custom branded label applied to their face.
No software dev tools required
VTAP readers are designed to be simple to configure and easy to manage. No dedicated drivers or SDK required. Reader configuration and updates are easy to manage via the standard file system interface. VTAP USB readers can swap-out barcode scanners and other legacy readers – transferring keyboard-emulated data. For more advanced integrations, direct to CRM or PoS systems for example, a powerful USB virtual COM port mode is also available on every VTAP reader.
“VTAP NFC readers are in use in many gyms, health clubs and private members clubs throughout the world, enabling members to breeze through doors and turnstiles and check in quickly and securely wherever they are.”
