NFC: share your card with a simple gesture

By & Eddy Chahed, co-founders · Published on · Updated on · 4 min read

Holding your phone near a card and seeing the profile open: that is the magic of NFC. No app, no scan, no effort. Here is how this technology makes sharing even more natural.

How NFC works

A contactless chip is built into your card. A smartphone held a few centimetres away reads it and opens your profile at once. The same principle as contactless payment, applied to your identity.

One gesture, zero friction

No need to open the camera or aim at a code. You get close, it opens. That fluid gesture always impresses and leaves a modern, polished impression.

NFC and QR, complementary

NFC shines face to face; QR stays unbeatable at a distance, on a screen or a poster. Both coexist on bloo.Cards to cover every sharing situation.

Always up to date

Like the dynamic QR, the chip points to your online card. You edit your info whenever you want: the physical card itself doesn't change and stays valid.

Ideal in the field

In a meeting, at a trade show, at the counter: a simple touch is enough to pass on your details. Fast, elegant, memorable: exactly what you expect from a first impression.

In practice

Get a bloo.Cards NFC card, encode it to your profile, and share with a gesture. Your contacts leave with your exact info, without you having to type anything.
