Where NFC card dey shine
- Resident wey dey pass gate every day — tap and go, no phone needed.
- Recurring staff like driver or househelp wey you don register.
- Place where you want fast, hands-free entry for known people.
Where code and QR still better
For visitor and one-time guest, you no fit dey give everybody card. QR and 6-digit code dey better there, because you fit send am for SMS and e go expire after the visit. Smart estate dey use both — card for regular people, code for visitor.
