BNY Removes Friction from Workplace Access with Employee Badge in Apple Wallet
BNY – founded by Alexander Hamilton over 240 years ago – is once again leading from the front. As a global financial institution with offices in 35 countries, BNY collaborated with SwiftConnect and HID to reimagine workplace access.
BNY identified physical access as a friction point for employees and administrators alike.
By deploying employee badge in Apple Wallet, BNY staff can use their iPhone or Apple Watch for seamless access to the building. This has eliminated the friction that could occur when an employee enters the office, and sets a new standard for secure and convenient entry across its global portfolio.
The Opportunity
-
Eliminating Physical Barriers
BNY identified physical access as a major friction point for employees and administrators – caused by outdated plastic cards, inconsistent systems across global offices, and manual provisioning.
-
A Unified Global Standard
The organization needed a scalable, secure solution to streamline access across more than 110 sites and 35 countries – without disrupting existing identity or access infrastructure.
-
Modern Access for a Modern Workforce
BNY set a new global standard for workplace access – combining convenience, speed, and security in one seamless experience.
“The whole idea of people navigating around our facilities globally – it just brings a smile to your face. But it really brings a smile to their faces – because now, when they come to work, they come with their iPhone! They don’t need to come with their old ID badge. That’s powerful.”
