For online service access today, use the BC Services Card app. BC Wallet lets you receive, verify and present digital credentials with participating services on your smartphone or tablet.

Only a small number of digital credentials are currently available. They are mostly for pilot projects. Privacy is a key design consideration for BC Wallet. We are not told when you use digital credentials in your BC Wallet, unless you are using those credentials to interact with us. We do not record any analytics for BC Wallet. You approve every use of your digital credentials, and only provide the information thatβs needed. BC Wallet is based on open standards and technologies.
