Our subscribers are loving the eKEY that ARMLS offers for accessing lockboxes! Here are some reasons why:
It’s an App
The eKEY becomes part of your smartphone and can also be used on Apple Watch. The app works even when you don’t have cell service (it transmits over Bluetooth). Another great thing about the updated eKEY is that it gives you the option to enter your PIN code just once a day and supports biometric authorization.
Free Download
Don’t get lost in the app store. Just bring your phone into a support center and we’ll take care of the rest. Downloading is a quick and easy process.
Data At The Door
View the MLS data of the listing you’re showing right inside the eKEY app using your location. No more switching apps and fumbling with searches. Simply tap the door icon in the top right of the app.
Monthly Billing
The eKEY is billed on a monthly basis. This makes absorbing the cost easier since it’s dispersed over 12 payments. It’s also easy to cancel through ARMLS if you no longer need the service.
Easy to Update
The app updates automatically, so you’ll never have to worry about updating the latest version.
Ready to get your eKEY? Visit an ARMLS support center to get started. Be sure to bring everything you need when you stop by.

Questions regarding ActiveKey to EKey:
1. Can I pay via credit card (on line) or check mailed monthly?
2. What is “data at the door”?
3. The Supra blue boxes are “infrared” scan will the EKey work on the existing Supra lockboxes?
James Marcus
Hi, thank you for the great questions:
1. No, Supra does not accept checks, so you will have to pay by credit card online. See a Support Center for that.
2. Data at the door let’s you view the MLS data of the listing you’re showing right inside the eKEY app using your location. No more switching apps and fumbling with searches. Simply tap the door icon in the top right of the app.
3. The Supra BT LE boxes used in the ARMLS market use infrared and Bluetooth – so any key you get from us will work with our boxes.

How would a user protect the data on their phone?
What disclosure are you providing users (realtors) regarding the GPS tracking component of the app and the other information the app accesses?
James Marcus
Hello, when you visit our Support Center, you will be given a keyholder agreement which discloses how data can/will be used.

How about disclosure to realtors about what data can be accessed, used, shared, tracked (GPS?) etc.?
The privacy policy, data security measures will matter to some Realtors and users should be able to review this at their own pace, not necessarily in the moment.

For a copy of the Supra terms of service and privacy, send a request via: http://www.supraekey.com/CustomerSupport/Pages/ContactUsForm.aspx. Is there a specific concern you are interested in having addressed?

can you download the app on more the one phone?
James Marcus
Hello, it can only be used on one phone at a time.

Can I have the app installed into 2 phones; knowing it can be used on one phone at a time?
James Marcus
Hello, no would that cause a re-authorization (not just a re-login) when you switch devices.

What does bring everything you need to your scheduled appointment mean? Are we required to turn in the old key and if opting to go with EKey, we bring our phone, right? What else???
James Marcus
Hello, bring your phone, your old ActiveKEY, identification and a credit/debt card.

Is this ekey fee in addition to the annual Supra lock box fee?
James Marcus
Hello, the ActiveKEY/XpressKEY is annual ($228 + tax per year) and the eKEY is monthly ($15.95 + tax per month), that is the extent of any fees for the lockbox system. Subscribers choose one or the other.

If I choose to NOT exchange ‘right now’, but wait a month or two, will I simply begin paying the monthly fee beginning the day that I start eKey service or will I recieve a penalty when I resume service fee for not continuing at this time?
Megan M
Thanks for the question! If you do not come to replace your key and wait a couple of months, you may be considered a new Supra customer at that point and may have to pay the $50 activation fee again because Supra is at the end of their billing year right now. You must return the ActiveKEY even if you do not plan to continue to have a key as it is a lease and you may be charged for not returning it. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any further questions! 480-921-7777

So no more $50 activation fee??
Nick
There is an activation fee of $50 dollars when you initially set up the eKEY for the first time or if you have cancelled it before and came back. There is no activation fee if you are upgrading from the XpressKEY to the eKEY.
