What Weca - E-bmdc does

e-BMDC SARL, operating as WeCA, is a French private limited company founded in March 2013 by Philippe LACROIX that develops a mobile application for secure professional identity verification and digital business card exchange. The WeCA app runs on both iOS and Android and is complemented by web-based management portals; its core technical proposition combines digital business cards with both face-to-face and remote identity authentication, a 'SECURED 100%' verification icon, and WeMAIL+ — a secure email service that uses QRCode-based authentication to confirm sender identity and protect message contents. The company also offers website authentication features designed to help users verify legitimate e-commerce or institutional sites and detect phishing attempts.

The product is positioned as a privacy-focused alternative to paper business cards, with a stated policy against disclosing or reselling user data. The platform is monetized through a three-tier subscription model: a BASIC monthly tier, a BUSINESS annual tier (with a 2-month free promotion), and a SECURE enterprise tier available via custom quote requests. Target customers span two segments — individual consumers concerned about identity verification when dealing with technicians, bank representatives, or suspicious links, and businesses (WeCA COMPANY) seeking to manage employee digital business cards, track card exchanges via geolocation, and secure internal and external communications.

The company has been entirely bootstrapped, with no external funding, no disclosed partnerships, and no institutional investors. The team is small — approximately six people covering general management, agency operations, marketing/commercial, communications, web development, and mobile development. Distribution is via standard mobile app stores globally, with primary content and language orientation toward the French market. Revenue, user counts, and growth metrics are not publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• HiHello: Digital business card platform available on iOS, Android, and web with QR-code sharing, contact capture, and team/enterprise features. Closely comparable to WeCA on product category (digital business cards) and target buyer (professionals and SMBs), though HiHello is venture-backed and operates globally.
• Linq: Digital business card app combining contact sharing, scheduling links, and follow-up reminders. Comparable to WeCA's professional-focused offering with a similar iOS/Android/web distribution model.
• Mobilo: Smart digital business card with NFC + QR sharing and lead-capture CRM features for sales teams. Comparable to WeCA's enterprise tier with similar focus on tracking card exchanges and follow-up, but stronger sales-tech positioning.
• Blinq: Mobile digital business card app with QR/NFC tap-to-share, CRM integrations, and team management. Directly comparable to WeCA's WeCard offering in functionality and B2B use case, with stronger brand recognition and broader geographic reach.
• Haystack: Digital business card platform focused on teams and enterprise contact management. Comparable to WeCA's WeCA COMPANY offering in B2B positioning, with deeper integrations into CRM and HR systems.
• CamCard (by Intsig): Long-established business card scanning and digital sharing app with OCR-based card capture and team features. Closely comparable to WeCA on digital business card utility, with a larger existing user base particularly in Asia.

Broad incumbents

• Sansan / Eight: Japanese business card management and CRM platform (Eight for individuals, Sansan for enterprises). Comparable to WeCA's digital business card category, though Sansan operates primarily in Japan and is a far larger, publicly-listed incumbent.
• DocuSign: Digital agreement and identity verification platform (including DocuSign Identity Verification). Adjacent to WeCA's identity-verification positioning at the enterprise end of the market, though DocuSign is far broader in scope and far larger in scale.
• Adobe (Acrobat Sign / Adobe Sign): Adobe's e-signature and identity offerings overlap with WeCA's secure-document-exchange use cases (KBIS, RIB, CNI). Adobe is a global incumbent with identity-verification capabilities embedded into a much broader document workflow product.

Regional players

• Yousign: European e-signature and identity verification provider, headquartered in France. Comparable to WeCA on French-market presence and identity-focused positioning, but focused on signature workflows rather than digital business cards.
