what is nfc and how it works in business cards
| Technology | Lets Connect
NFC stands for Near Field Communication. If you've ever tapped your phone to pay at a store, you've already used it. In NFC business cards, the same technology lets you share your professional profile with a tap.
How NFC Works (Simply)
- Your card has a tiny chip inside
- You hold it near someone's smartphone (~4 cm)
- The chip sends a link to their phone
- Your digital profile opens automatically
- No app download, no pairing, no typing
Where You Already Use NFC
- Apple Pay / Google Wallet — tap to pay
- Contactless bank cards — tap at terminals
- Transport passes — tap to ride
- Smart access cards — tap to enter buildings
- NFC Business Cards — tap to share your profile
