5 reasons AU professionals choose ZapCard
Priced for real business budgets
V1CE's premium metal cards start at $80+ AUD. ZapCard gives you the same NFC tap-to-share for $39 — without the luxury retail markup. Same technology, different price point.

V1CE's advanced profile features require an ongoing plan. ZapCard is one payment — full profile management, unlimited taps, and future updates are included forever. No surprises on your statement.
Your your data is never resold
ZapCard profile data stays private — we never sell or share it, and ZapCard is Australian-owned. For privacy-conscious Australian professionals (especially in finance, legal, and health), that matters.
Ships in days, not weeks
V1CE ships from London. ZapCard ships from Melbourne. No international transit, no customs paperwork, no three-week wait. Metro orders typically arrive in 3–5 business days.
Built for the Australian market
Australian phone numbers, Australian business registrations, ABN display, Privacy Act compliance — ZapCard is designed for how Australians actually do business, not retrofitted for the AU market from a UK product.

How does ZapCard compare to V1CE for Australian professionals?
V1CE is a UK-based brand with premium metal cards that typically cost $80–$180 AUD or more, plus optional monthly profile plans. ZapCard is Australian-owned and made in Melbourne — one-time $39, no subscription, and your profile data stays private and is never sold (Privacy Act 1988). Both use NFC tap-to-share technology.
Does ZapCard work the same way as V1CE?
Yes. Both cards use NFC chip technology — the recipient holds their phone near the card and your digital profile opens instantly in their browser. No app required on either side. The difference is ZapCard is priced for everyday Australian professionals, not luxury executives.
Is there a subscription fee with ZapCard like V1CE?
No. ZapCard is a one-time $39 purchase. V1CE's premium profile features require ongoing subscription plans that can exceed $10–$30/month. With ZapCard you get full profile management, unlimited taps, and free updates for life — no recurring charges.
Where does ZapCard ship from?
Melbourne, Australia. Orders typically arrive within 3–5 business days for metro areas, versus weeks for V1CE shipped from the UK. No customs delays, no international shipping fees.
