Digital name card in Singapore, free.

Apple Wallet is part of iOS, so every iPhone in Singapore has it, and a Cardr pass goes into it free. Google lists Singapore among the countries where it offers Google Wallet (Google’s country list, read 12 October 2026).

So Cardr works on both. On an Android phone running Android 9 or later, with Google Play services (Google’s requirements), your card goes into Google Wallet; on an iPhone, into Apple Wallet. Both passes are free, carry the same QR code and update when you edit your card. See the Google Wallet business card for how it looks.

The person you meet is not affected either way. On an iPhone or an Android phone, their camera opens your page from the QR code, they save you to their contacts, and they can send their own details back. They install nothing and never receive a pass.

The card is free in Singapore, as it is everywhere: the Wallet pass, your page, the QR code, the two-way exchange and every contact it brings back, with notes, tags and export. No card details are taken to start.

Pro is the follow-up done for you: drafts written from your notes in your voice, a reminder on day 3 after you meet someone, and every pass design. Cardr charges people in Singapore in US dollars, not Singapore dollars: Pro is $15 a month, or $12 a month billed yearly ($144 a year). Visitors from Singapore see that price on our pricing page, and it is what checkout charges. Your card issuer may add a fee for a payment in a foreign currency.

An NFC card works when the other phone has NFC switched on, reads it in the background and is held in the right spot. A QR code works when a camera is pointed roughly at it, which every iPhone and Android phone does from the camera app with nothing to install. Cardr is QR-based and sells no NFC cards.

The bigger difference is what happens next. A link written to a chip opens a page; Cardr’s page also lets them send their details back, so the person you met at a Marina Bay conference or a CBD lunch lands in your contact list, where you can keep a note of who they were, and Pro reminds you on day 3 to follow up.

If you already own an NFC name card, most can be rewritten to your cardr.co address with a free NFC app, and it will open your Cardr too. More in our guide to NFC business cards.

Business contact information

The PDPA defines business contact information as a person’s name, position or title, business telephone number, business address, business email, business fax number and similar details, not provided solely for personal purposes. Except where the Act expressly mentions it, most of its data protection obligations (Parts 3 to 6A) do not apply to it (section 4(5), Personal Data Protection Act 2012).

The PDPC says that in most circumstances it is likely to consider the personal data on business or name cards to be business contact information, and that details someone gives solely for personal purposes are not (PDPC, advisory guidelines on key concepts). A digital name card swapped at a meeting is the same exchange in another form; the line to watch is purpose.

The Do Not Call rules

The Do Not Call provisions are a separate part of the PDPA, about marketing messages to Singapore telephone numbers (Part 9, whose Division 3 is headed “Specified message to Singapore telephone number”; PDPC: the DNC provisions and your business). Cardr drafts follow-ups as emails, which you send from your own mail app. If you follow up by call or text instead, those rules are the ones to read.

What Cardr itself stores, and how to have it deleted, is on our privacy page. Contacts export to CSV or vCard on the free plan.

A plain summary of public guidance, to help you think it through. It is not legal advice. Sources, read 12 October 2026: PDPA 2012, sections 2 and 4, Part 9; PDPC, advisory guidelines on key concepts in the PDPA; PDPC, the DNC provisions.
