Apple Announces Support for Contactless Student ID Cards in Wallet

Apple has announced that starting today students at three universities can add their contactless ID cards to Wallet.

At Duke University and the Universities of Alabama and Oklahoma, students can now add their ID card to Apple Wallet and use it to pay quickly and easily for laundry, coffee or lunch, and even get into their dorms, the gym or the school library.

“iPhone and Apple Watch have brought us into a new era of mobility, helping to transform everyday experiences,” said Jennifer Bailey, Apple’s vice president of Internet Services. “When we launched Apple Pay, we embarked on a goal to replace the physical wallet. By adding transit, loyalty cards and contactless ticketing we have expanded the capabilities of Wallet beyond payments, and we’re now thrilled to be working with campuses on adding contactless student ID cards to bring customers even more easy, convenient and secure experiences.”


While support for the feature is launching with just Duke University, the University of Alabama, and the University of Oklahoma, Apple says the feature will debut at Johns Hopkins, Santa Clara and Temple Universities by the end of this school year.
