Even though the global economy is increasingly depending on wireless payments yet, most of the time, in our part in Pakistan, especially in congested cities like Karachi and Lahore, we need to carry cash or credit cards when enjoying a physical shopping spree.
Yet with this convenience comes the danger of RFID skimming. Purchasing an RFID blocking wallet is one vital need to protect our credit cards from being misused by people who steal this information wirelessly. Such an RFID ‘skimmer’ can bump into you with an RFID reader in his pocket and scan the RFID signal through the material without you knowing it.
How does a RFID blocking wallet work?
RFID blocking wallets block RFID signals using electromagnetic enclosure technology called a Faraday cage which makes cards that carry information electromagnetically opaque by distributing electrostatic radiation around the cage’s exterior. This is how it protects its contents from electric charges of the RFID reader.
Here are the five significant things that your life depends upon that an RFID protection wallet can save
