How to switch modes on your SmartCard
One card, five modes — swap between them from your phone in seconds.
Only one of the 5 modes is active on your card at any given time, but switching between them takes seconds from your app.smartcards.ng account — no new card, no reprinting, no waiting.
This is useful when your context changes: run Business Card mode day-to-day, switch to Payment Info mode at a market or event, or drop into Emergency Info mode while traveling — the same physical card adapts each time.
The switch takes effect immediately. The next person who taps your card sees whatever mode you've most recently selected.
Activate in under 2 minutes
Scratch off your license key, sign in at app.smartcards.ng, pick a mode — you're sharing before the meeting starts.
Updates instantly, no reprint
