What is NFC?

NFC – which stands for Near Field Communication – technology can be found on most smartphones (starting with iPhone 7 and Android phones since 2012).

The Voltiah card contains an encoded chip which can be read by any smartphone supporting NFC technology. By tapping your Voltiah card on a phone, it automatically reads the encoded chip and will retrieve your Voltiah profile from the Cloud. Your contact details can then be saved directly to the contact list of the phone owner.

Your Voltiah profile on the Cloud can contain as much detail as you wish to share. This includes not just name and number but also links to your social media (e.g. LinkedIn) and more. You can even add extras as the occasion sees fit, for example if you’re at an event and you’ve just given a presentation, you can include the link in your Voltiah profile and transfer it to all event participants in just a tap or by sharing your Voltiah link with them.

For older phones that do not have NFC technology, we have also included a QR code on the cards, which can be scanned to connect the phone to your Voltiah profile.
