Mobile wallet credentials streamline employee access, reduce key management costs, and strengthen security for multi-location businesses
St. Louis, MO – May 6, 2026 – Interface Systems, a leading provider of AI-powered security and expert remote video monitoring for restaurants, retailers, and commercial businesses, today announced the launch of its Digital Keys solution for Digital Monitoring Products (DMP) access control systems. The solution enables businesses to replace traditional cards, fobs, and physical keys with secure mobile credentials stored directly in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet.
Designed for retailers, quick-service restaurants, and other distributed enterprises, Digital Keys simplifies access management by allowing administrators to issue, update, schedule, and revoke employee, contractor, and vendor credentials remotely through the DMP Virtual Keypad application. Credentials can be delivered instantly by text or email and added directly to a user’s mobile wallet with no separate app required.
For businesses managing high employee turnover, multiple locations, temporary contractors, and lost or unreturned keys, Digital Keys offers a faster and more secure way to control access without relying on physical credentials.
Key benefits include:
- Tap-to-unlock access: Using Near Field Communication (NFC), the same standard used for tap-to-pay transactions, Digital Keys allow authorized users to unlock doors with a smartphone or smartwatch. Credentials can continue to function even when the phone’s battery is low.
- Lower key and badge management costs: Administrators can issue or deactivate credentials remotely, helping reduce the time, cost, and operational burden of shipping badges, recovering keys, replacing lost fobs, or rekeying doors.
- Stronger accountability: Unlike physical keys or badges that can be shared, lost, or misplaced, mobile credentials are tied to individual users and are less likely to be transferred between employees.
- Greater visibility: When combined with video integrations, operators can connect credential activity with recorded footage, helping businesses verify who accessed a facility and when.
- Temporary access control: Contractors, vendors, and temporary employees can be granted access for a defined timeframe, with credentials scheduled to expire automatically.
- Future-ready access control: Multi-technology readers support NFC credentials alongside existing cards and fobs, allowing organizations to modernize access control at their own pace while preserving prior infrastructure investments.
Retailers, restaurant operators, and commercial businesses need access control that keeps pace with employee turnover, distributed locations, and evolving security expectations,” said Steve Womer, SVP of Product at Interface Systems. “Digital Keys eliminate much of the friction and cost associated with issuing badges, recovering keys, or rekeying stores. Administrators can instantly issue, modify, or deactivate credentials from anywhere, giving them more control, visibility, and flexibility.
