ACS - WalletMate II

Tap-Ready NFC Desktop Reader for Mobile Wallet Deployments

For organizations rolling out mobile wallet acceptance at the point of service, the ACS WalletMate II (ACR1552U-MW) delivers certified compatibility with both Apple VAS and Google Smart Tap right out of the box. This HF | NFC – RFID reader processes virtual loyalty cards, event tickets, employee badges, and student IDs stored on iOS and Android devices – all through a single contactless tap. Both ECP 1.0 and ECP 2.0 protocol versions are fully supported, so there is no need to maintain separate hardware for different smartphone ecosystems.

Operating at 13.56 MHz, the WalletMate II covers the full range of HF | NFC – RFID contactless standards. Beyond mobile wallet scenarios, it reads and writes a comprehensive selection of smartcard types, making it a versatile desktop reader for mixed-technology environments. The reading distance reaches up to 70 mm depending on the tag type, and communication speeds top out at 848 kbps in ISO 14443 mode. Anti-collision support means the reader handles multiple tags in the field without conflict.

Security is addressed through a dedicated secure element that stores the private keys (LTPK) for both Apple VAS and Google Smart Tap on-device. Sensitive authentication data never leaves the reader, protecting transaction integrity at every tap. An additional SAM card slot conforming to ISO 7816 Class A provides further cryptographic capabilities for deployments that require them.

MTBF of 500,000 hours at just 86 g weight – long-lasting and space-efficient at the point of service

The ACS WalletMate II combines mobile wallet certifications, extensive card compatibility, and industrial-grade reliability in a form factor measuring just 98.0 x 65.0 x 12.8 mm. For system integrators, this means a single reader covers both modern smartphone-based workflows and established smartcard infrastructure. Regulatory certifications including CE, UKCA, FCC, and VCCI along with RoHS, REACH, and WEEE compliance confirm the device meets international requirements for deployment in regulated environments.

Firmware upgrade capability ensures the WalletMate II remains updatable after installation – a critical consideration as wallet protocols evolve and new security requirements emerge. The programmable buzzer and dual-color LED (blue and green) provide acoustic and visual feedback that can be customized per application.
