Apple Pay’s long road to paying off is getting shorter

We just moved into a WeWork office in Shoreditch and I am genuinely very annoyed that I now have to carry a building entry pass in the form of a card. I've spent years trying to shed all my cards and now I'm back to having to carry a wallet.

I was in a WeWork the other day, and saw somebody tap their phone to get entry to the office. I was amazed, assuming they had rolled out some new system that used phones for access. Nope—she just had her access card stuck inside her phone case.

That really is annoying. Apple has APIs for adding door keys / office passes to the NFC wallet. WeWork could fix this if they wanted to.

I wonder if there’s a way to clone cards to digitize them (using 3rd party hardware readers and these APIs maybe?)

This is definitely possible with things like a Flipper Zero, but I doubt adding the cloned card to Apple Wallet is possible on iPhones (though I imagine Androids have no such restriction)
