Mobile credentials on the rise

Mobile credentials are gaining traction. Enhanced user experience and reduced costs are driving the use of smartphones in place of discrete physical access cards. Security is a primary concern for users when it comes to accessing buildings or making online transactions.

The proliferation of Bluetooth and NFC-enabled smartphones, and advancement in technologies has been helping to increase the uptake of mobile credentials. With a mobile app, users can turn their mobile phones into digital access cards, keys or wallet without carrying lots of stuff on hand.
