A Hong Kong startup that produces NFC digital business cards, an inevitable technology replacement for traditional business cards. The pandemic created a need for an intelligent and contactless solution for businesses and individuals to exchange digital information and contact details in person. Just like handshakes have been replaced with elbow or fist bumps, traditional business cards have now been replaced by digital business cards using NFC technology, which allows users to share information without physical contact, in just a tap on a smartphone.
Anyone who has ever paid at a store by touching a device with their smartphone or their credit card, or used a smart transport card, or even bought a Nintendo Amiibo card, has already benefitted from NFC. With BLK CARDS, we simply brought that technology into the social sharing realm, adding an opportunity for users to stand out and make a memorable first impression while pitching, selling and socializing.
BLK CARDS offers an intuitive free mobile application (iOS & Android) that narrows the technical and usage gap by offering the first NFC-On-Demand mobile app free to all users.
Most of the market-available apps are designed for users with technical background. These pose as major blockers to the general users and hence, the prevalence of NFC digital cards remains low over the years. In addition, a lot of digital business cards providers require a signup to create a profile that users can manage online, or charge a subscription fee.
BLK CARDS users can preset unlimited URLs into the App and pick and choose anytime, anywhere, what they want to share, based on the context of their meeting (Website, Whatsapp, Instagram, Youtube, LinkedIn, IMDb, Linktree etc…). Users are able to share their own URL directly (without a servicing platform in the middle), and users can choose to transfer information via NFC card or QR code.
