A digital business card is not simply another version of the paper card. It offers far more possibilities: greater information depth, direct links to your online presence, and data that is always up to date, without you ever having to reprint anything. You can use it purely digitally through the app, or in combination with a physical product like the NFC metal card or the Badge.
What Is a Digital Business Card?
A digital business card is a personal mini-website holding the details of a classic business card, stored in the cloud where it can be updated at any time. It is designed above all to be exchanged between mobile devices during in-person contact: the recipient gets instant access to all contact details and can save them right away.
The Benefits Over the Paper Business Card
Always Up to Date
When your details change, you would have to discard paper cards and have new ones printed. With oneVcard you simply update your data in the portal, in such a way that even earlier contacts automatically see the latest information the next time they open your card.
Part of Your Digital Everyday
Digital business cards not only hold more information, that information is also immediately accessible: your LinkedIn or Instagram profile, a WhatsApp message, your website, all just one tap away.
Universal, No App Required for the Recipient
An NFC tap or scanning a QR code is all it takes. The recipient needs no app. It is ideal for remote work too: share your card by link in an online meeting, in your email signature or through a virtual background.
Sustainable and Professional
No more throwing away entire stacks of cards. At the same time, your card is always available in perfect condition and can be tailored precisely to your corporate design.
How Do I Use a Digital Business Card?
Register for free in the oneVcard app and add your details, colors and design. You can even create several cards, for example business and personal, or in different languages. The recipient receives your card via QR code or NFC and can retrieve your data, kept permanently up to date, from the server, or save it as a vCard (.vcf).
What Is a Physical Product?
A physical product, the oneVcard Metal or the Badge, also transfers your data via NFC and QR code, entirely without a mobile device of its own. This way you combine a high-quality, tactile product with your always up-to-date digital business card.
For Individuals and Companies
As an individual user, every plan is open to you, from the free Lite version to the metal card. Companies manage all employees centrally, import data via CSV, connect HR and CRM systems, and adapt the design to their branding precisely by HEX code.
