What is an NFC Business Card (and Why Your Business Needs One)?

Business cards have been around for centuries, but since 2020, they’ve been finally going digital.

NFC business cards are the modern, eco-friendly, and cost-effective way to share your contact details instantly - no paper waste, no reprints, and no apps required.

KIS Cards takes this technology one step further with a unique QR code backup, so your contacts always have a way to connect, no matter what phone they use.

What is NFC?

NFC stands for Near Field Communication. It’s the same secure, short-range wireless technology used for tap-and-go payments (e.g. Paywave).

When two devices (like an NFC card and a smartphone) come within a few centimeters, they communicate using small radio waves.

For business cards, that means:

• Tap your NFC business card on a smartphone.

• Instantly, download your contact details to the users contacts app

• No third party app downloads, no fuss.

How an NFC Business Card Works

An NFC business card looks and feels just like a traditional plastic business card - thin, durable, and wallet-sized. Inside, it contains a tiny NFC chip that holds a link to your "digital profile".

With KIS Cards:

• Your details are stored securely.

• When tapped, the card sends your information to the phone.

• Your new contact can save your number, email, and web links instantly.

The KIS Cards Advantage: Built-In QR Code

Not every phone model has NFC activated by default - but that’s not a problem. Every KIS Card comes with a printed QR code that links to the exact same details as the NFC chip.

• If a phone can’t read NFC, your contact simply scans the QR code with their camera.

• Same result, same profile, no barriers.

• It’s a built-in backup option so you’ll never miss a networking opportunity.

Update Your Card Anytime, Anywhere

One of the biggest benefits of NFC cards is that you never need to reprint. With KIS Cards, you get access to a free online portal where you can:

• Update all your details such as your phone number, job title, or email etc.

• Add or change links to your website or social media.

• Manage multiple staff profiles in one place.

  
  

Your physical card stays the same - but your digital profile is always up to date.

What Phones Are Compatible?

• Most modern smartphones (Android and iPhone) have NFC built in and can read KIS Cards instantly.

• For phones without NFC enabled: the QR code backup ensures compatibility with virtually any smartphone.

• No apps required - just tap or scan.
