To put your Go card on your phone, specifically a Georgetown GOCard on an Android device, you will need to utilize the Google Wallet and eAccounts applications.
When referring to a "Go card" in this context, it pertains to the Georgetown GOCard, and the following steps are designed for Android smartphone users to set up this digital credential. This process allows you to access various campus services by simply tapping your phone.
Setting Up Your Georgetown GOCard on Android
Integrating your GOCard with your Android phone involves a straightforward process using two key applications. Follow these steps to get your mobile GOCard ready for use:
- Install Google Wallet: Begin by downloading and installing the Google Wallet app. You can find this essential application on the Google Play Store. Google Wallet acts as your secure digital wallet, storing your mobile GOCard along with other digital cards.
- Install eAccounts: Next, search for and install the eAccounts app, also available on the Google Play Store. The eAccounts app is vital as it facilitates the connection between your GOCard account and your mobile device, allowing for the secure provisioning of your card.
- Begin Setup in eAccounts: Once both apps are installed, open the eAccounts app. You will likely encounter introductory screens that provide an overview of its features. Navigate through these initial screens until you see and tap the "Get Started" option. From this point, the eAccounts app will guide you through the process of linking your Georgetown GOCard and adding it to your Google Wallet.
After completing these steps, your mobile GOCard will be securely stored in your Google Wallet, enabling you to use your Android phone for transactions and access where your physical GOCard would typically be required.
