The modern electronic business card

The electronic business card for email signatures

For years an electronic business card meant a .vcf file you attached to your email signature — static the moment you sent it. Anexus Connect replaces that attachment with one live link and QR: update your details once, and every signature you've ever sent points to the current card.

An electronic business card is the digital version of the paper card you hand over — historically the vCard (.vcf) you attached in Outlook or dropped into an email signature so the other person could save you to their contacts. The format still works, but a static file goes out of date the moment your title, number, or company changes. Anexus Connect is a smart business card platform that keeps the one-tap, save-to-contacts convenience and makes the card itself live: one link and QR in your signature, editable any time, with nothing to resend. Recipients open it in any browser with no app, save your vCard in a tap, and you can roll the same standardized card out across a whole team. Basic is free forever; PRO is an optional upgrade (about $6.99 CAD/month or $59.99 CAD/year) for AI tools, deeper analytics, and CRM integrations. Not sure whether you want "electronic", "digital", or "virtual"? They're the same thing — the explainer breaks it down.

One live link in place of the attached .vcf

Swap the static vCard attachment for a single link and QR in your signature. Change your title, number, or links once and every email you've ever sent points to the current card — no new attachment, no resending, no "please discard my old card".

Set up your signature

Standardize it across the whole team

Roll one electronic business card out to everyone and keep every signature on-brand. An admin manages the team from a single account, updates a job title or office number for one person or all of them, and no one has to touch their own vCard file or email client to stay current.

Make the signature build your pipeline

A paper card tells you nothing after you hand it over. When someone opens your electronic business card, the connection drops into a built-in mini CRM with source, notes, and reminders — so an email signature stops being decoration and starts capturing the people who reach out.

Electronic, digital, virtual: the same card

"Electronic business card" is the older, email-and-Outlook way of saying digital, virtual, or online business card — all names for one thing: a live profile you share instead of paper. If you're weighing the words, the explainer breaks down what each means and how it works.

Frequently asked

What is an electronic business card?

It's the digital version of a paper business card — your name, title, phone, email, links, and photo in a form you share electronically rather than on card stock. The classic version is the vCard (.vcf) you attach to an email or add in Outlook so the recipient can save you to their contacts. Anexus Connect modernizes it: instead of a static file, you share one live link and QR that you can update any time. The terms "electronic", "digital", "virtual", and "online" business card all describe the same thing — the explainer covers the differences.

How is this different from a .vcf attachment or Outlook's Electronic Business Card?

A .vcf attachment or an Outlook Electronic Business Card is a snapshot: it's correct the day you send it and wrong the day your number changes, and you can't update an email already sitting in someone's inbox. Anexus Connect gives you one link and QR instead. The details live on the card, not in the file, so you edit once and every past and future signature shows the current version — while recipients still get the same one-tap save to their contacts.

Can recipients still save my details to their contacts?

Yes. Opening your card gives them a one-tap "save to contacts" that drops your full vCard into their address book — no app or account on their end. It works from any email client (Outlook, Gmail, Apple Mail) on iPhone or Android, and you can keep the same card in Apple Wallet so it's on your lock screen for in-person moments too.

Can we roll one out across a whole company or team?

Yes. Teams get one standardized electronic business card with consistent branding, managed by an admin from a single account — add people, update a title or office line centrally, and keep every signature current without IT chasing each inbox. Basic is free forever for individuals; PRO (about $6.99 CAD/month or $59.99 CAD/year) adds AI tools, deeper analytics, and CRM integrations when a team wants them.
