BearCard Mobile Samsung Wallet Install Instructions
Enable NFC on your phone in your Settings menu. NFC settings can be found in different areas of the Settings menu, depending on your device.

1. Download the Transact eAccounts Mobile App in Google Play.
2. Open eAccounts, swipe through startup screens and tap Get Started.
3. Refine the search by typing ‘Central’ and select ‘University of Central Arkansas’ and follow the prompts.
4. Tap “Continue to Sign In” and login with your MyUCA credentials (without @cub.uca.edu). Do NOT used saved passwords or copy/paste. MyUCA credentials are on your Admissions accept letter or call or start a UCA IT Helpdesk ticket. Have your ID number ready.
5. You must have an approved photo at this point. If you need to add a photo, please follow the instructions by tapping “Submit Your Photo Through eAccounts App” at this link.
6. Once you have successfully authenticated in eAccounts, tap ‘Add to Samsung Wallet’ and follow the prompts.
If you do not already have a digital wallet for your Android phone, you will be prompted to download Samsung Wallet in Google Play. Set up your digital wallet with your personal gmail address you used to setup your phone. Your UCA email address will not work at this step. Make sure your BearCard is enabled as the default payment. If the app prompts you to add a credit card, you can bypass that screen by returning to the digital wallet home screen or tapping the back button.
*For international students, faculty and staff whose country does not support Samsung Wallet, on your phone reset the region to the U.S. by following these instructions:

For Samsung Galaxy Watch6, repeat step 7 but tap ‘Add to Wallet’ next to Apple Watch and follow the prompts.
*Note: If you have Galaxy Watch6, you MUST HAVE IT ON YOUR IPHONE AS WELL so that the BearCard is visible for those that need to view it. The Watch picture is too small.
