NFC card questions

How does the Athar smart card work?

The card carries an NFC chip programmed with the link to your digital profile. When someone brings their phone near it, your profile opens in the browser at once and they can save your details to their contacts with one tap. Older phones use the QR code printed on the card.

Does the other person need an app?

No. The profile opens straight in the phone browser on iPhone and Android, with no app and no sign-up.

What if my number or title changes?

Edit your details in the dashboard and the card updates instantly. The chip is encoded once and works forever; nothing needs reprinting.

Does the card work without internet?

The card itself needs no power or internet. The other person's phone opens the link, so it needs a connection like any web page.

How long is delivery inside Saudi Arabia?

The Athar Original card ships from stock in 1 to 2 business days. The Special card in your design is printed after you approve the artwork, then shipped by Aramex to every city in the Kingdom.

Can I add the card to my phone wallet?

Yes. Every account comes with a pass for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet carrying your profile QR, so you can share even without the plastic card.

Where can I buy NFC cards in Saudi Arabia?

Straight from the Athar Card shop: choose the Original card, the Special card in your own design or the digital card, pay online, and Aramex delivers it to any city in the Kingdom. Companies ordering more than ten cards can request a custom quote.
