HID Mobile Credentials in Google Wallet — secure, NFC-powered door access on every Android
HID Global's Seos-powered mobile credentials stored directly in Google Wallet let employees, tenants, and guests open doors, elevators, turnstiles, and more — by simply holding their Android phone near a compatible HID reader. No separate app to open. No card to carry.
What Are HID Mobile Credentials in Google Wallet?
HID Mobile Credentials in Google Wallet are Seos-powered digital access badges stored directly inside Google Wallet on an Android device. Announced in April 2024, the integration allows employees, tenants, and guests to use their existing Android phone — or a Wear OS smartwatch — as a fully functional, enterprise-grade access credential for doors, elevators, turnstiles, and more.
The credential is issued remotely by an administrator through the HID Origo Management Portal. Once added to Google Wallet, the user simply holds their phone near a compatible HID Signo or iCLASS SE reader. The NFC communication is secured with HID's Seos encryption — the same technology used in HID's highest-security physical smart cards.
The solution adds the privacy and security features built into Android phones on top of Seos — making it one of the most secure mobile credential solutions available for enterprise access control.
What HID Credentials in Google Wallet Delivers
No App to Open — Just Tap
Unlike the HID Mobile Access app which requires the user to open it, Google Wallet credentials let users tap their phone directly at the reader — no app launch, no extra step. The wallet handles everything.
Frictionless AccessSeos® Credential Security
Every Google Wallet mobile credential is powered by HID Seos — with AES-128 encryption, mutual authentication, and signed credential exchange. The same technology as HID's highest-security physical smart cards.
AES-128 SeosWear OS Dual-Device Support
Google Wallet supports dual-device provisioning — users add their access credential to both their Android phone and a Wear OS smartwatch simultaneously. Wrist-tap access without taking the phone out of a pocket.
Phone + WatchRemote Enrolment via HID Origo
Administrators issue credentials to employees remotely through the HID Origo Management Portal. Users receive a link to add the badge to Google Wallet — no physical distribution, no face-to-face setup.
100% Remote IssuanceInstant Revocation
When an employee leaves or loses their phone, the administrator revokes the credential instantly from Origo — the mobile badge is immediately deactivated. No physical card to collect, no delays.
One-Click RevokeEliminates Physical Card Costs
Remote credential issuance eliminates card printing, distribution logistics, and collection. Environmental life-cycle assessment shows mobile credentials produce 75% less carbon than physical PVC cards.
75% Less CarbonWorks with HID Signo Readers
HID Signo and iCLASS SE readers (Wallet-ready models) support Google Wallet mobile credentials natively via NFC — the same readers that already handle physical iCLASS and Seos cards.
Signo + iCLASS SENo Rip-and-Replace Infrastructure
Existing HID Signo or iCLASS SE readers simply need activation with the organisation's Mobile Keyset — no new reader hardware required if Wallet-ready readers are already installed.
Existing Reader UpgradeIntegrates with ACS Software
Via HID Origo Bridge and SwiftConnect, Google Wallet credentials integrate with C•CURE 9000, Lenel, and other access control platforms — no manual credential management between systems.
ACS IntegrationHow HID Credentials in Google Wallet Work
Organisation Registered on HID Origo
The admin creates a HID Origo account and purchases an HID Mobile Access subscription (Essentials or Enterprise). The org receives its Organisation ID and Mobile Keyset.
Readers Activated with Mobile Keyset
HID Signo or iCLASS SE readers are activated with the organisation's Mobile Keyset using HID Reader Manager or a Mobile Key Card — enabling them to authenticate Google Wallet credentials.
Admin Issues Credential via Origo
The admin adds the employee in the Origo portal and sends an invitation. The employee receives an email or notification with a link to add the badge to their Google Wallet.
User Adds Badge to Google Wallet
The employee follows the link and adds the HID credential to Google Wallet on their Android phone. The same credential can be provisioned to a paired Wear OS smartwatch simultaneously.
Tap Android Phone at HID Reader
The user holds their Android phone near the activated Signo or iCLASS SE reader. NFC communicates the Seos credential — the door opens. No app to launch, no extra step required.
Reader Compatibility
📡 HID Signo Readers (Models 20, 20K, 40, 40K)
