Dublin, OH -- August 23, 2022. Patron Point announced today that from early next month, Patron Point libraries using the Verify add-on will be able to offer new patrons the option to download a virtual library card through the iOS Wallet app. After registration, new patrons will receive a confirmation email from Verify that includes an Apple Wallet badge linking iPhone users to the "add a pass" page of the Wallet app. Patrons may choose to receive a physical card as well. This feature is currently available for newly registered patrons with iPhones, but Android compatibility is already under development and will be available in a future update.

Ian Downie, Vice President, Growth at Patron Point, commented, "Our partner libraries are excited about this development as it coincides with Library Sign-up Month ( #LibraryCardSignUpMonth) and further underlines how our Verify solution has transformed and massively improved the experience of joining the library. Whether a patron plans to use a digital library card exclusively or just wants to keep it as a backup, this new feature empowers your patrons to choose the pass method that works best for them."
