Mobile Myki is a way of paying Myki fares using a mobile phone.
Since early 2019, it has been available on phones with recent versions of Android (5.0 and higher) that have NFC (Near-Field Communication). NFC is used by the phone to communicate with Myki readers so you can touch-on and off as you travel.
Mobile Myki works within the Google Pay application. You can use it to create an adult or concession virtual Myki card on your phone. Unlike a physical card, this is free, but it does need to be linked to a credit card in Google Pay. Once set up, it can be loaded with Myki Money or some types of Myki Pass.
You can then use your phone to touch on and off. The phone does not need to be unlocked, but you may need to make sure it’s “awake”.
