RFID wallets are wallets equipped with a special lining that blocks radio waves. This lining protects your credit and debit cards containing RFID chips from electronic pickpocketing. RFID chips, embedded within contactless cards, store your payment information.

Electronic pickpocketing, also known as RFID skimming, involves thieves using scanners to steal this data from your cards through your wallet.

Benefits of RFID wallets

  • Enhanced security: The primary benefit of RFID wallets is the peace of mind they provide. By blocking RFID signals, they prevent unauthorized scans of your cards, safeguarding your financial information.
  • Reduced risk of identity theft: With stolen card details, criminals can commit identity theft. RFID wallets minimize this risk by acting as a shield against data skimming.
  • Global protection: RFID technology is used worldwide, making RFID wallets a valuable tool for international travellers.
  • Peace of mind: Knowing your cards are protected allows you to carry them confidently, eliminating worries about electronic pickpocketing.

How RFID wallets work

  • Blocking mechanism: The lining within an RFID wallet is typically made of metal mesh or a combination of metallic threads woven into the fabric. These materials disrupt the radio waves used by RFID scanners, preventing them from accessing your card data.
  • Passive protection: RFID wallets offer passive protection. They do not require batteries or any active operation to block signals.
  • Card functionality unaffected: Using an RFID wallet doesn't hinder the functionality of your cards. You can still tap and pay at contactless payment terminals as the blocking material only disrupts the long-range scanning attempts.
