Do I need an app to use an NFC business card?

No. Modern iPhones and Android phones read NFC natively, so the person you meet doesn't need to install anything. Your profile opens in their browser. If a phone doesn't support NFC, they can scan the QR code on the back instead.

Does an NFC business card work with iPhone and Android?

Yes. iPhone XS and newer read NFC tags automatically, and most Android phones support NFC as long as it's turned on in settings. Hold the card near the top of an iPhone or the middle of the back of an Android phone.

Can I update my details after I get the card?

Yes. Your NFC card is linked to your business-card.ai digital card. Edit your details anytime in the dashboard and every future tap shows the latest version — you never need to reprint the card.

The basics

What is an NFC business card?

An NFC business card, also called a contactless business card, is a physical card with a tiny chip inside. When someone holds their phone near it, the chip sends a link to your digital business card, which opens instantly in their browser. They see your details, links and socials, and save you in one tap.

How it works

How does an NFC business card work?

Hold the card near the top of an iPhone or the back of an Android phone. The phone reads the chip and opens your profile, with no app required on either side, which is why it's often called a tap business card. Most recent phones support NFC, and a QR code on the back covers phones that don't.
