Zentra Brings Resident Key in Google Wallet to Customers

Zentra, a brand of Allegion US is the first to offer resident key capability in Google Wallet. This enables residents to easily and securely add their resident key to Google Wallet and unlock their apartment with a simple tap of their Android phone or Wear OS by Google smartwatch. With this new capability, residents can unlock their building doors, amenity spaces and individual apartment units without contact using their Android Phone or Wear OS smartwatch—eliminating the need to use a traditional, physical fob or key.

Adding resident key to Google Wallet lets residents tap and move throughout their multifamily community with just their phone. Residents can simply raise their phone to access points they have access to, and the NFC credential in their Wear OS smartwatch or Android Phone will grant them access.

With resident key in Google Wallet on Zentra, properties offer a best-in-class luxury experience for their residents that also decreases operational overhead. Reducing cost and time associated with physical keys or fobs leads to increased net operating income (NOI) for the property.

The Zentra and resident key in Google Wallet solution has recently been made available on the Schlage XE360 Series, the Schlage Control Smart Lock, Schlage NDE Mobile Enabled Wireless Cylindrical Lock, Schlage MTB Mobile Enabled Multi-technology Reader and Schlage RC Reader Controller.
