Our range covers slim card holders, bifold wallets, passport wallets, and neck pouches, all with certified RFID-blocking lining. For maximum concealed security, pair with a money belt worn under clothing.

What is RFID Blocking?
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is the technology behind contactless payments and e-passports. Criminals with RFID scanners can read your card details or passport data from a distance without touching your wallet. RFID-blocking wallets use a metallic lining that blocks these radio signals, preventing unauthorised scanning. Also see our dedicated RFID card holders and passport sleeves for standalone card protection.
Which Cards Need RFID Protection?
-
Contactless credit & debit cards: Any card with the contactless symbol is RFID-enabled
-
E-passports: Australian passports issued after 2009 contain an RFID chip
-
Opal, Myki, Go cards: Public transport cards use RFID — protect these too if you don't want accidental charges

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need an RFID-blocking wallet?
It's a low-cost, high-value precaution — especially when travelling internationally. While RFID skimming attacks are not as common as pickpocketing, they do occur in busy tourist areas and public transport hubs. An RFID-blocking wallet eliminates the risk entirely for a small investment. Combine with an anti-theft bag for comprehensive travel security.
Does RFID blocking affect my cards?
No — RFID blocking only prevents external scanners from reading your cards. Your cards work normally when you take them out of the wallet and tap or insert them at a payment terminal.
What's the difference between an RFID wallet and an RFID card holder?
An RFID wallet includes space for cash and cards; an RFID card holder is card-only with no cash compartment. Both provide the same level of signal blocking — the choice comes down to how much you carry.
