What Is NFC and How Does It Work?
NFC (Near Field Communication) is a wireless technology that allows two devices to exchange data when they are held within a few centimeters of each other. It is the same technology behind contactless payments like Apple Pay and Google Pay. For digital business cards, NFC enables instant contact sharing with a simple tap — no app installation required on the receiving device.
