How to Share a Digital Business Card in Dubai: NFC, QR or Link
The three ways professionals share a digital business card in Dubai — NFC tap, QR code and WhatsApp link — what each costs in AED, and what actually happens on the other end.

Key takeaways
- Dubai professionals share digital business cards by NFC tap, QR code or WhatsApp link — the receiver never installs anything.
- A digital business card in Dubai costs AED 9.55 a month or AED 95.40 a year with Koroot.
- At GITEX and other Dubai trade fairs, a QR code on a stand or screen keeps working long after a box of paper cards has run out.
- Physical NFC cards ship with bulk team orders in the UAE; on your own, you share by QR code, link and Apple Wallet.
NFC, QR code or WhatsApp link: which should you use?
All three open the same card, so the choice is about the moment, not the technology.
| Method | Best moment | Does the receiver need an app? |
|---|---|---|
| NFC tap | Across a meeting table or at a handshake | No |
| QR code | An exhibition stand, a slide, or a till screen | No |
| WhatsApp link | Following up after the event, or sent ahead of a call | No |
Most contacts made in Dubai end up saved from WhatsApp, so a card built for one-tap sharing into a chat is worth more than one built only for a handshake.
What does the person you meet actually see?
Whichever method you use, the other person's browser opens your profile — your name, title, company, phone numbers, WhatsApp and social links, in English or Arabic. One more tap saves you to their contacts, spelled correctly, with every number in the right field. Nothing to install, and nothing lost if they close the tab before saving.
Do you need a physical NFC card to share in Dubai?
No. A QR code and a link cover every sharing moment on their own, and every Koroot card can also go into Apple Wallet for a one-swipe version of your essentials — see our step-by-step guide to adding a business card to Apple Wallet.
A physical NFC card for the UAE ships with digital business cards for teams on a Business order — every card on the team gets one. Buying on your own, on the Monthly or Yearly plan, you share by QR code, link and Apple Wallet instead.
How much does it cost to share a digital business card in Dubai?
Sharing itself is free on every plan — what you pay for is the profile behind the tap, scan or link.
| Plan | Price | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly | AED 9.55 per month | One digital card, shared by QR code, link and Apple Wallet |
| Yearly | AED 95.40 per year | Same, at the best per-month price |
| Business | AED 76.40 per card per year | Team cards on one brand template, each with a physical NFC card |
Every plan is compared in full, including Business team pricing, on the pricing page. Nothing renews automatically.

Yes. Show your QR code on your phone, a badge or a stand, or send your link over WhatsApp. The person scanning or tapping needs nothing installed.
