Your Card. Now Mobile.
Your Bruin Card…now available in Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, and Samsung Wallet!
The mobile Bruin Card is available to all enrolled students and current employees. Tap your iPhone, Apple Watch, Samsung Galaxy, or other eligible Android phones at readers across campus to conveniently use your mobile Bruin Card. Your mobile Bruin Card acts just like your physical card and now you can add it to your preferred digital wallet.
Getting Started
Current faculty and staff and enrolled students are eligible for a mobile Bruin Card. You will need your Belmont Microsoft credentials to get started. For more information about your Belmont Microsoft credentials and multi-factor authentication, click here.

- Submit your photo in the eAccounts app.*
Review the online photo submission instructions. Upload an eligible photo in the eAccounts app. After you receive a photo approval email, proceed to Step 4.
*Only new students and new employees must complete this step. Current employees with an existing Belmont ID card should skip to Step 4.

In your phone's wallet, tap the information icon. Your ID number should appear on this screen along with other helpful information. You will need to add "B00" to the beginning of this number for a complete BUID. Below is a video showing how to access the BUID on an Apple device.
Name information on the Bruin Card comes to us from the university’s core business systems and needs to be updated there. Students should contact the Registrar’s Office. Faculty and staff should contact their HR representative to request updates. Once changes are completed, the updates will sync to the Bruin Card on your phone within 48 hours.
- Account balances are currently only displayed on Apple & Samsung Galaxy devices
- If your account balances are $0, they will not display until funds are added.
- If you have available funds that are not displaying, please contact the Bruin Card Office at bruincard@belmont.edu.
A negative balance can occur if you make a transaction when a retail device is offline. When the device comes back online and the transaction is posted, you will see a negative balance if there are not enough funds in your account to cover the transaction.
Return to the location of the sale and ask the store to issue a credit card refund, then process the transaction against your Bruin Card.
As with your physical ID Card, your mobile Bruin Card will become inactive when you no longer meet eligibility requirements. If you transfer to another participating program or department at Belmont, your credential will stay active and update accordingly.
