Setting up your digital M-Pass

You can set up a digital M-Pass if you're a student or staff member at Monash University Australia. You’ll need to have completed the steps to approve your photo before you set up your digital M-Pass.

Device requirements

  • iPhone: iPhone 11 or later, iPhone XS, iPhone SE (iOS 17 or later)
  • Apple Watch: Apple Watch Series 1 or later (Watch OS 5 or later)

Make sure you have accepted the latest iCloud/Apple ID terms and conditions if prompted in your iPhone's settings (under your Apple ID).

Setting up

  1. Scan the App Clip code below with your iPhone
  2. Log in with your Monash account
  3. Press Add to Apple Wallet:
    1. Click iPhone and follow the prompts: tap Next and Agree to the Terms & Conditions. You'll get a notification confirming your digital M-Pass has been added to your Wallet.
    2. Tap Done to return to the home screen.

Once you've added your M-Pass to your iPhone's Wallet, you can add your M-Pass to your Apple Watch using the same process or by tapping the eAccounts App Clip icon (below) on your iPhone.

Device requirements

  • Android Phone: Version 10 or later (your device has to be NFC-enabled and capable of supporting Google Wallet).
    Android Wear OS is not currently eligible for digital M-Pass.

Setting up

  1. Enable near-field communication (NFC) on your phone in your Settings menu.
    NFC settings can be found in different areas of the Settings menu depending on your device. A common location is Connected Devices → Connection Settings (if it's not there, use the Search option on the top right).
  2. Open Google Wallet (make sure you’re logged in with your personal email – not your Monash account) and make sure it's enabled as the default payment application. If the app prompts you to add a credit card, you can bypass that screen and return to the Google Wallet home screen.
  3. Download the Transact eAccounts Mobile app from the Google Play Store to your phone.
  4. Search for Monash University (including if you’re a Monash College student).
  5. Login with Okta.
  6. Click Add to Google Wallet and continue through the prompts (you’ll need to Accept the terms and conditions).

It’ll take about two hours for your digital M-Pass to activate.
