Zentra a smart access provider, has introduced their resident key compatibility in the Google Wallet, to unlock apartments digitally with the tap of an Android phone or Google smartwatch.
The company predominantly focuses on physical access solutions for multipurpose residential properties but has launched this offering in the digital access space. For customers, this enables security, convenience and operational efficiency. The first integration of a resident key capability in the Google Wallet provides digital convenience for gaining physical entry to building doors, amenity spaces and individual residential spaces without contact using their Android Phone or Wear OS smartwatch and eliminating the need to use a traditional, physical fob or key.
Residents only have to raise their phone to physical touchpoints and the NFC credential will grant the access, reducing time and cost.
“With resident keys now available in Google Wallet, Zentra is expanding what modern access looks like for multifamily communities” said Mark Vigren, vice president, Sales & Field Marketing at Allegion.
John Goodwin, vice president, general manager, Multi-Family Access at Allegion said this simplified digital access helps align with the expectations of renters today to have a premium living experience and builds the future of smarter access control.
Google’s Wallet protects residents’ essentials with advanced security features built directly into Android devices.
Identity Week Europe 2026 will showcase how digital wallets are streamlining customer and citizen online services.
