Future of Custom NFC Cards As contactless transactions continue to be practised and appreciated by both businesses and consumers, the future of Near Field Communication (NFC) appears bright. The technology is an established technology for communication that enabled secure and simplified payment transfers and transactions with just one tap. And with custom NFC cards available, the possibilities are endless for those who want to leverage that technology. Near field communication has been around since the mid-2000s when it was introduced by Sony and Philips, but the technology continues to evolve and improve over the years. Nowadays, custom printed NFC cards have a diverse range of applications as they keep up with smartphone advancements. Smartphones and NFC technology Around 3.4 billion smartphones are active in today’s world, about two billion devices that have NFC, with most of them phones. Basically, at least 20 percent of the world’s population already have access to NFC. Custom NFC cards are likely to help the widespread use and appreciation for the technology. As per ABI research, there should be 1.6 billion NFC-enabled devices by 2024. The COVID-19 pandemic has also increased the demand for safe and contactless technology, so NFC should be here to stay for years to come. Why customise NFC? By customising NFC cards, you can get the most of the technology and apply it for specific purposes. For instance, you can have one for sharing your contact information to replace physical business cards, and another to easily set up and connect your vehicle’s entertainment system with your smartphone. There are many other uses for custom printed NFC cards, too. They can be smart badges for trainings and conferences to enhance the engagement and experience of attendees. All it takes is one tap for them to acquire conference materials in their phone along with real-time information, such as social feeds and event schedules. NFC can also be customised for businesses to boost customer engagement and satisfaction. Place one on a flyer or poster to promote an event or a business, so the audience can easily access information on their phone. Experience the latest technologies Custom NFC cards will allow users to experience and make the most of newer contactless solutions and technologies, such as Google Pay’s NFC technology system, which supports UPI-based payment. This means users can add their debit or credit card as an NFC-enabled payment option. Wearable tech like Xiaomi Mi Band 5 also rolled out NFC connectivity for seamless transactions.
