How it works

The tap takes one second. Here's what happens inside it.

You hold your card near the other person's phone. Your profile opens. Nobody installs anything, nobody creates an account.

The tap, step by step

No data leaves the object: it only holds a secret link to your profile.

  1. 1

    You hold the object close

    Under two centimetres from the top of the phone.

  2. 2

    The chip hands over an address

    Only one thing travels: your profile's address. Not your name, not your number — they are not on the object.

  3. 3

    The phone offers to open it

    A notification appears. They tap once — that's their only move. Nothing opens without their say-so.

  4. 4

    Your profile is there

    In the browser, like any other page. No app, no account, no waiting.

The chip needs no battery.

The phone powers it for the moment of contact. A KONECT card never charges and never runs flat.

What if NFC doesn't respond?

It's the most common question, and the answer is simple: every accessory carries a printed QR code. Scan it with the camera and the same page opens. There is no dead end.

NFC turned off
on Android it takes two taps to enable. If they'd rather not, use the QR.
Phone without NFC
the QR works on any device with a camera and a browser.
Very thick case or metal plate
take the card out of your wallet and try again, or use the QR.
No network at all
then nothing opens — not here, not anywhere. Send your link by message and it will open later.

The QR is on the back of every accessory

It leads to the same profile as the chip. Always printed, never optional.

What the other person sees

Your profile, and two actions within thumb's reach. They install nothing, create nothing, and can walk away with your details in one tap.

Add to contacts

Your card goes straight into their address book, with your name, your role and the details you show.

Share their details back

They fill in three fields and you get their card in your contact book. That's the exchange working both ways — the half a paper card never had.

Reach you right away

Call, write, open your site, book a meeting — depending on what you chose to show.

You change jobs, not cards.

Edit your profile from your phone and save. The next tap already shows the new version — nothing to reprint, nothing to sync, nothing to hand out again.

  1. 1

    You open your profile and change what you want.

  2. 2

    You save. It is live immediately.

  3. 3

    Cards already handed out show the new version.

You can also keep several profiles and choose which one an accessory shows: the work profile at the office, another at the weekend. Same object, two ways to introduce yourself.

Lose your card and it goes quiet.

The object holds none of your data: it only carries a link to your profile. Cutting that link is enough, and you do it from your account.

Reversible

Block

The card shows nothing any more. Found it in a drawer? Unblock it.

Reversible

Report lost

Same effect, and whoever finds it can reach you without seeing your details.

Permanent

Revoke

The card leaves the service for good. We ask you to confirm twice.

You can then replace the accessory: the new one takes over your profile and your history, the old one stays silent.

What you need

  • A KONECT accessory — the PVC card, to begin with.
  • A free KONECT account, created in two minutes.
  • An internet connection while you set your profile up.

What you don't need

  • No app — neither for you nor for the person in front of you.
  • No subscription to use your card day to day.
  • No account for whoever taps it.
  • No reprinting when your details change.

Create your profile, then pick your accessory.

The profile is free and takes two minutes. The accessory is a one-off purchase, sold separately — you choose which one afterwards.
