Using Mobile Credential on Your iPhone
Your iPhone or Apple Watch must be turned on, but it does not have to be connected to a network. For iPhones 6S, iPhone 6S Plus and later, Express Mode allows you to use your Blue Demon Card without unlocking the device with a passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID. Just tap your device against the reader to recognize your Blue Demon Card. On iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR Express Mode with power reserve is available for up to five hours after the device’s battery needs to be charged.
On an iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, you can use it by double-clicking the Home button, then tapping your default payment card and selecting your student ID. Rest your finger on Touch ID to authenticate and hold the top of iPhone 6 or 6 Plus near the contactless reader.
- To display your Blue Demon Card Mobile Credential, open Apple Wallet and select your Blue Demon Card from your saved cards.
