An NFC business card is a physical card or stand with a small chip inside. When a phone is held near it, the phone reads a web link stored on the chip and opens it. With MyInfo, that link is your digital business card.
MyInfo provides the digital card. NFC business cards and stands are available through our partners across the UAE.
How it works
- You create your card and get its address, for example
myinfo.ae/yourname. - Your card's link is written onto an NFC card, sticker or stand.
- Someone taps their phone on it and your card opens in their browser.
There is no app to install on either phone, and you can change your card any time without touching the physical card — the link stays the same.
What you need
- A MyInfo card. The free plan is enough for NFC sharing.
- An NFC card, tag or stand. Ask a MyInfo partner, or use an NFC tag you already own.
- A way to write the link onto it. Ask your partner to set it up, or use a free NFC writing app on your phone.
Phone compatibility
Most modern smartphones can read NFC tags. On many Android phones NFC needs to be switched on in settings. Recent iPhones read NFC tags directly when the screen is on. If a phone cannot read NFC, the person can scan your QR code instead.
Good ways to use NFC
- A card in your wallet for meetings and events
- A stand on a reception desk, restaurant table or shop counter
- A sticker on a phone case or laptop
