- Essential for high-risk destinations: Barcelona, Rome, Paris, Bangkok, Buenos Aires
- Works alongside an anti-theft bag for layered security
How to Choose a Money Belt
-
Waist belt: Worn around the waist under clothing — most secure, holds the most. The classic choice for international travel.

Neck pouch: Hangs under your shirt — good for passports and flat documents. Pairs well with a bumbag for daily essentials.
-
Leg wallet: Straps to the thigh — useful when waistbands are tight or in hot climates
Travel Safety Tips
- Never keep all your cards and cash in one place — split between money belt and wallet
- Keep a small amount of local cash in an accessible pocket for daily use
- Store your passport in your money belt when in crowded tourist areas
- Use RFID-blocking lining for contactless cards — or add a RFID card sleeve to any existing wallet
- For maximum security, combine a money belt with a Pacsafe anti-theft bag
Frequently Asked Questions
Are money belts worth it for travel?
Yes — especially for travel to high-pickpocket destinations. The cost of replacing a stolen passport, cards, and cash far exceeds the price of a quality money belt. They're also useful as a secure backup for emergency funds on any trip.
Can I go through airport security with a money belt?
Yes — remove it and place it in your carry-on tray when going through the security scanner, just like a belt or watch. Most travellers put it back on immediately after clearing security.
What's the difference between a money belt and a neck pouch?
A money belt wraps around your waist under clothing; a neck pouch hangs from a cord around your neck under your shirt. Both are concealed and RFID-blocking. Money belts hold more; neck pouches are better for passports and flat documents.
