Decoding the Differences: Digital Business Cards for Companies vs Personal Use

Exploring the Convenience of Digital Business Cards for Personal Use

A digital business card for personal use is essentially a smartphone-optimized web page where you can input your information through your personal account. Saving this digital business card to your contacts is as easy as two taps.

You can share your digital business card in various ways:

Offer the recipient to scan the QR code of the business card using their phone camera

QR readers are built into the cameras of all modern smartphones. The QR code of the business card is available in the CardEx App or on a CardEx NFC-card if one is issued for your business card

Use a CardEx NFC-card

It  is a card with an  embedded NFC chip containing a  link to  the digital business card. By  tapping such a  card to  a  smartphone, the user can instantly transfer the contact information to  their phone.

Send a link to the digital business card through a chat app, email, or text

With messaging platforms like WhatsApp or Telegram, you can quickly send the link to your digital business card in real-time conversations. Alternatively, use email or texts to customize the message.
