NFC cards have taken the world by storm, but what are they and why is everyone raving about them? What does NFC mean? Are they sustainable?
At last, we will answer all your burning questions about this new sustainable product from its name to its technology.
What Does NFC Mean?
NFC, or near-field communication, is a revolutionary technology invented in the early ‘80s that utilises smartphones, watches and cards. But what are NFC cards exactly?
What Are NFC Cards?
NFC cards use radio frequency identification (RFID) to connect one device to another. For example, a key to a lock, a bank card to a card reader or, in our case, a business card to a smartphone.
All our chauffeurs carry NFC business cards. A client simply taps their phone to the card or scans the QR code, and the chauffeur’s contact information is automatically transmitted to the client’s phone.
What Happens to My Data?
We ensure your data is as safe as possible. That’s why our NFC cards are provided by V1CE, a trusted third party among many popular brands across the globe. Their cards are designed to only work within an inch of a compatible device and cannot extract data. That means you only share the data you want to.
Are NFC Cards Sustainable?
Yes. Not only does the technological aspect make it more sustainable than paper business cards, some manufacturers take it a step further by utilising recyclable materials.
A primary reason we chose V1CE is because of their own sustainability efforts, such as planting a tree for every product sold.
A quote from our CEO states, “It has saved hundreds of paper business cards from being given out and the client can’t lose the details as they are within their phone, it is a great product that has served us well and allowed us better client convenience while simultaneously keeping within our sustainability values.”
