NFC card
Wireless proximity badge
An NFC card is a contactless smart card that uses near-field communication technology to exchange data when held close to a reader.
These cards power tap-to-pay credit cards, transit passes, building access badges, and hotel key cards.
Just tap your NFC card on the reader.
The technology requires proximity of a few centimeters, providing basic security against remote scanning.
