A vCard is a simple text file (.vcf) that contains information such as phone numbers or email addresses about the person, which can be stored in the phone book of the smartphone. The vCard format was already specified in the 1990s by Apple, IBM, and co., with the aim to define a uniform standard for storing contact information. Due to the age of the format, vCards are, unfortunately, very inflexible and offer few technical possibilities. A vCard stored on a smartphone cannot be updated from outside. Different smartphones and operating systems can read vCards differently, which can lead to different results.

Q: What is the difference between a digital profile and a business card?

The terms digital business card, vCard, wallet card, NFC business card, or digital profile are often mixed up. Our FAQ here, as well as our blog, should help you get a good overview. The digital profile is the basis of your digital business card. Anyone can access this profile via a link. Your customers have several options to exchange contact information with you: They can save your data directly on their phone, export your card to the Wallet app, send you a contact request, connect with you via social media, and much more.

Q: What happens if my contact information changes or employees leave the company?

If you make any changes (name, address, title, phone, etc.), you can update your profile which means the cards you have shared via the Wallet app will be updated too. If an employee leaves your company, you simply delete the profile. With baningo cards, data can be changed either by each team member themselves or centrally by administrators via the team management feature.

Q: What is the Wallet App and what does it have to do with my digital business card?

With baningo cards, you have the option to export your digital business card to the Wallet app. You probably know the Wallet app from using it for train, plane tickets, or even concert tickets. This way, you always have your tickets with you on the phone, and you can avoid printing them out. With the digital business card, it works the same way. When your customers scan your digital business card in the Wallet app, it also appears in their Wallet app. Your customers will then always have your contact details with them. Whether it 's a travel or banking advisor, plumber, or architect - your customers can contact you with just one click. The Wallet function is used by many of our customers because it has significant advantages over the vCard. The vCard becomes obsolete in the phonebook because it cannot be updated. On the other hand, a business card in the Wallet app updates automatically in your customer 's phone every time you change your data in baningo cards. iOS users are especially familiar with this technology. For Android users, we recommend downloading a wallet app such as the WalletPasses | Passbook Wallet app.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a digital business card?

A digital business card is the modern and smart alternative to the traditional paper business card. It allows you to share contact details, company information, and additional links digitally, eliminating the need for physical cards. Unlike the traditional version, a digital business card offers numerous advantages: it is always available, easy to update, and can include interactive content that goes beyond just sharing contact details. With NFC technology or QR codes, a digital business card can be shared effortlessly. Instead of manually typing a phone number or email address, simply hold a smartphone near an NFC business card or scan the QR code of the digital business card. Within seconds, the relevant information stored on the digital business card is saved by the recipient.

The digital business card not only provides an efficient way to manage contact details but can also be strategically used for marketing and branding purposes. It enables customers or business partners to be directed to social media channels, product pages, or booking tools.
