Android

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.
