Nan Fung employee badge in Apple Wallet helps deliver a convenient and contactless experience. Employees can add their employee badge to Apple Wallet after an initial set-up through Nan Fung Group's NF Touch App. Once added, the badge will give them access to enter the AIRSIDE office building, office space and shared amenity spaces. Unlike the physical cards, there is no waiting time for gaining building credentials and access for new employees.

Once an employee badge is added and activated in Apple Wallet, employees can hold their device near a door's NFC-enabled lock to seamlessly access secured areas. With Express Mode, employees don't need to unlock their device to use their badge in Apple Wallet. If an iPhone needs to be charged, employees can still use their device to access their office or amenity areas with Power Reserve.

Employee badges in Apple Wallet are stored on personal devices and take full advantage of the privacy and security built into iPhone and Apple Watch. When AIRSIDE employees use a badge in Apple Wallet, it is never shared with Apple or stored on Apple servers. If their iPhone or Apple Watch is misplaced, the owner of the device can promptly use the Find My app to lock the device and help locate it.The partnership with HID has reaffirmed Nan Fung's vision for AIRSIDE as the flagship development in the heart of Kowloon, a definitive pioneer of innovation. By seamlessly integrating this secure and convenient access solution on iPhone or Apple Watch, Nan Fung is pleased to offer an enhanced experience for AIRSIDE tenants and their employees.
Jerry Wang, Regional Head, North Asia, Physical Access Control Solutions at HID said, "Mobile devices have become an integral part of our daily lives, both personally and professionally. The integration of HID-enabled employee badges represents a significant leap forward, merging advanced security, effortless accessibility and unparalleled convenience that will transform the modern workplace. Our collaboration with Nan Fung celebrates more than a partnership; it marks a significant milestone in creating spaces that are as dynamic and adaptable, reshaping the experience of every employee who walks through the doors of AIRSIDE."
Billy Hui, Executive Director of Hong Kong Property, Nan Fung Group, said: "At Nan Fung, we prioritize the comfort and satisfaction of our valued office tenants and their employees by embracing technology and forward-thinking solutions. We are thrilled to announce our partnership with HID, which has revolutionized the access experience for both our tenants and employees.

Looking ahead, we are eager to explore additional opportunities to further enhance the office employee experience."
