RFID Blocking

Guard Your Identity & Defend your data

What blocks RFID? We use a conductive material lining to passively block the RFID electromagnetic signals and make credit cards or passports digitally unreadable. We have RFID blocking built-in wallets and pockets in many of our bags and accessories. Protect your personal information from thieves trying to scan your credit cards, IDs, and passports.

HOW IT WORKS

It is hard to spot a digital scanning thief since they usually hide the scanners in their pockets or bags, and trigger the scans when close by. keeping your credit cards, IDs, and passport in our built-in RFID-blocking wallets will keep you safe from these malicious scanners.

Where does this come in handy?

RFID scanning theft, also known as RFID skimming, can happen in various countries, especially in places with high tourist traffic, crowded public spaces, and advanced technological infrastructure. However, it's important to note that RFID skimming is a global concern and can occur anywhere.

Here are some areas where RFID scanning theft has been reported more frequently:

Tourist Destinations in Europe: Countries like Spain, Italy, France, and the UK, particularly in crowded tourist spots, have seen instances of RFID scanning theft due to the high number of tourists carrying RFID-enabled cards and passports.

United States: Cities with high tourist traffic, such as New York City, Las Vegas, and Orlando, have reported incidents of RFID scanning theft, especially in busy areas like airports, public transportation, and popular landmarks.

Asian Tourist Hubs: Countries like Thailand, China, and Japan, especially in major cities and popular tourist destinations, have reported cases of RFID skimming, targeting tourists' credit cards and passports.

Nordic Countries: Technologically advanced countries like Sweden, Norway, and Denmark have seen instances of RFID scanning theft, especially in crowded places and public transportation.

Australia: Cities like Sydney and Melbourne, with high tourist numbers, have reported RFID scanning theft, particularly in busy areas and public transportation hubs.
