Wallet Card
A digital pass stored in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet that represents value (balance, prepaid amount) or access rights (tickets, membership).
Definition
A wallet card is a digital pass added to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet on a customer's smartphone. It can represent stored value (gift card balance, prepaid amount), loyalty status (points, tier), access rights (event ticket, membership), or a combination. Wallet cards update in real-time through the wallet's built-in synchronization, so customers always see current balances without opening an app.
Examples

Concert tickets in Google Wallet
Retail loyalty cards from major chains

The card shows the current balance, updates after every transaction, and can send push notifications for balance changes, expiration reminders, or special offers.
