Preparing Your Apple Device for Mobile DukeCard

Your DukeCard in Apple Wallet can be used to access and pay wherever your physical DukeCard is accepted. You can have any combination of (1) physical card, (1) DukeCard on your iPhone, and (1) DukeCard on your Apple Watch active at any time.  

Note: your iPhone or Apple Watch in Wallet will not work at Prox readers such as those in medical center areas.

Downloading and Installing Transact eAccounts App

Setting Up Multifactor Authentication with DUO

You will need to set up Duke’s Multifactor Authentication (MFA) for eAccounts on your iPhone to log into the eAccounts app. MFA provides an additional layer of security when logging in or performing transactions online and at Duke. To set up MFA, you will need to use Duo Mobile. Information on Duo can be found here.

iCloud Account
