Allegion US has announced that it will support mobile credentials in Google Wallet on Wear OS smartwatches.

Available starting 9 December 2024, for all Schlage mobile credentials currently offered in Google Wallet on Android such as student IDs and employee badges, the solution equips Wear OS smartwatch users with convenience, enhanced security and seamless access.

“Innovative and secure access solutions”

Olivia Renaud, Group Product Manager, Credentials, Allegion said: “We are privileged to be the first security solutions provider to offer our customers the convenience of using their Wear OS smartwatches for mobile credentials in Google Wallet.

“This collaboration represents our commitment to providing innovative and secure access solutions that meet the needs of our diverse customer base,” added Renaud.

Accessible credentials

This new capability expansion allows Google Wallet users to add mobile credentials to their Wallet on both Android phones and Wear OS smartwatches.

This added convenience gives users secure access to buildings and offices, payments on campuses and much more from their wrist. 

Key benefits

• Convenience: Google Wallet users no longer require physical cards or keys and will not have to worry about lost or forgotten IDs by adding Schlage mobile credentials to their Wallet on both Android phones and Wear OS smartwatches
• Enhanced Security: Mobile credentials in Google Wallet are safeguarded by multiple layers of security, helping ensure sensitive information remains protected. If a device is lost or stolen, the credential can be easily removed
• Seamless Access: Users can gain access by simply tapping their Wear OS smartwatch to a Schlage electronic lock or reader

Collaborating Schlage and Google Wallet

This solution is being brought to market in collaboration with Google Wallet, having passed rigorous testing.

Mobile credentials in Google Wallet are supported by all wireless locks, wall readers and reader controllers from Schlage that are NFC enabled.
