An e-name card is a digital name card — your contact details on a link and a QR code instead of a piece of card. If you have seen the term “digital business card”, this is the same product under the name most people use in Singapore and Malaysia.
In Singapore, Malaysia and much of Southeast Asia, the small rectangle you hand someone when you meet them is called a name card, not a business card. An e-name card is the digital version of it: the same details, delivered as a link and a QR code rather than as a printed piece of card.
There is no difference in substance between an e-name card, a digital name card, a digital business card and a virtual business card. They are the same product, and which words you see depends mostly on where the person writing them is. If you searched for one and landed on a page selling the other, you were in the right place.
What changes is not the format but what happens after the exchange. A printed name card is finished the moment it leaves the printer: the number on it is the number you had that day. An e-name card is a live page you still control, so a new number, a new role or a new company updates everywhere you have already shared it — including on the cards people saved months ago.
An e-name card is shared three ways, and all three end in the same place: your details inside the other person's phone.
You show a QR code and they scan it with the camera. You send the link — in a message, an email, a chat group — and they tap it. Or you add the card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet and pull it up the way you pull up a boarding pass. In every case the card opens in the browser they already have, and there is nothing for them to install before they can see who you are.
The part that matters is the save button. A paper name card gets photographed, or put in a pocket, or lost. A digital one gets saved as a contact in a couple of taps, which is the only outcome that was ever the point of handing it over.
CompanyCard's free plan covers all of this: one digital business card, a QR code and sharing link, your profile, links and socials, an Apple and Google Wallet pass, and unlimited edits — free forever, no credit card. Free cards carry a small CompanyCard credit; removing it is part of Pro.
An e-name card is a digital name card — your contact details published as a web page with a permanent link and QR code, instead of printed on card. You share the link or let someone scan the code, and they save your details straight into their phone.
Yes. They are the same product under different regional words: “name card” is the ordinary term for a business card in Singapore and Malaysia, while “business card” is more usual in British and American English. “Digital name card”, “e-name card”, “virtual business card” and “electronic business card” all describe the same thing.
Create a card, enter your name, role, company and the ways you want to be reached, then save it and share the link or QR code. The CompanyCard free plan includes one digital business card, a QR code and sharing link, your profile, links and socials, an Apple and Google Wallet pass, and unlimited edits — free forever, no credit card. Free cards carry a small CompanyCard credit; removing it is part of Pro.
Yes. A digital card has no front and back to divide, so you can put both forms of your name on the same card rather than giving each one a side. They are ordinary text fields, so whichever scripts your device can type, the card can carry.
No. The card opens as a web page in whatever browser is already on their phone. Scanning the QR code or tapping the link is all they do, and saving your details is a couple of taps after that.
Yes, and this is the main practical difference from a printed name card. The link and QR code stay the same while the details behind them change, so a new number or a new job title reaches everyone you have already shared the card with. Unlimited edits are included on the free plan.
Free forever, no credit card, and the person you share it with installs nothing.
