How to enable NFC on your phone
Two settings taps, on almost every phone.
On iPhone (7 or later): NFC is always on for tag reading — there's no setting to toggle. Just hold the top of the phone near the card.
On Android: open Settings, search 'NFC', and switch it on. On Samsung specifically: Settings > Connections > NFC and contactless payments. On Pixel: Settings > Connected devices > Connection preferences > NFC. Most phones ship with it already enabled.
If your phone's Settings app has no NFC option anywhere, the hardware isn't present — in that case, scan the QR code printed on the SmartCard instead.
QR backup on every card
No NFC, or NFC switched off? Every SmartCard has a printed QR code that opens the exact same profile through any phone's camera.
Tap to share — no app needed
iPhone or Android, old or new — if it has a camera or NFC, it works. No one needs to download anything.
