Digital JacksCard

NAU is introducing Digital JacksCard, and it’s now available! This exciting new technology allows you to store your JacksCard right in your Apple Wallet.

What is it? Accordion Closed

Digital JacksCard is the newest way to use your JacksCard. Not only does the digital format make it easier for students to access buildings like residence halls, the rec center, and the library, along with the ability to make payments on campus for food and books, but you can now keep your JacksCard right in your Apple Wallet on your iPhone and Apple Watch.

  • An easier way to access buildings (residence halls, library, etc)
  • Convenient payment experience all around campus
  • No need to carry around a physical wallet – everything will be in your Apple Wallet
  • No need to worry about losing your plastic JacksCard
  • Digital JacksCard works with iPhone 6s and later and Apple Watch Series 1 and later
  • Students will be able to have their Digital JacksCard on up to two devices

When will it be available? Accordion Closed

How does it work? Accordion Closed

  • Use your Digital JacksCard anywhere. Digital JacksCard will be accepted anywhere on campus that a plastic JacksCard can be used. Our new readers will accept both plastic JacksCards and Digital JacksCards.
  • Tap and go effortlessly with Express Mode. Digital JacksCard features the Express Mode Transaction Experience. By default, Express Mode will be turned on. With Express Mode, users can tap their locked iPhone or Apple Watch to use Digital JacksCard without needing to authenticate via Face ID or Touch ID for a fast, frictionless experience.
