Using Mobile ID on Android

  • You do not need to unlock your phone, but the screen must be awake to use your Griz Card. Tap the power button to wake the screen and tap your phone against the reader. Note, the antenna location may vary by device, although it is often in the middle of the phone. As a result, you may have to adjust the orientation of your phone against the reader to have your mobile credential recognized.  
  • To display your Griz Card, open the Transact eAccounts app and select the View in Google Wallet icon.
  • To add funds to your accounts in the Transact eAccounts app, first save a payment method at the Transact eAccounts website.
    • Make a deposit via your desktop or mobile browser.
    • After completing the deposit, there will be an option to save your credit card information.
    • Once you have added the card information on the Transact eAccounts website, that card will be available in the Transact eAccounts app for future deposits. If you have already used Transact eAccounts to access your Mobile ID, you will need to sign out and sign back in to update the saved payment information.

Contact information for the Griz Card Center Office is also available from the Griz Card menu in Google Wallet.
