Everyone is talking about data protection. But while we are sensitive to protecting our data when surfing the Internet, the cards in our wallets are exposed to ever greater risks. The answer: RFID card protection. Get an RFID wallet now - data protection for your wallet!
Even if you are not aware of it, you probably come across RFID several times a day. "What? Never heard of it!" you may think, but radio frequency identification technology is now used in so many areas of our lives that we use it all the time without even realizing it.
What exactly is RFID? Radio Frequency Identification, or RFID for short, is the identification of data via electromagnetic waves. Do you sometimes go shopping? If so, you are probably familiar with the RFID chips that protect high-quality leather wallets from theft in department stores. When you buy something at the checkout, the RFID protection is removed. But this is not the only place where we encounter RFID in everyday life: Electronic keys, for example in hotels, access and employee cards and probably your car key also work using RFID technology.
WHAT DOES RFID HAVE TO DO WITH MY WALLET?
Today, RFID is increasingly being used for near field communication, or NFC for short, i.e. for contactless payment. Have you ever noticed that many cards no longer need to be inserted into the reader at the checkout? This is how NFC payment works. The data required for payment is transmitted via radio waves. For smaller amounts, it is not even necessary to enter a PIN. A development that makes our lives easier. But unfortunately also that of so-called radio hackers.
WHY DO YOU NEED AN RFID WALLET?
With the help of mobile devices for contactless payment, radio hackers can use the RFID chips to make debits from the cards in your wallet without you even noticing. All the fraudster needs is a standard mobile phone and he can access your data from up to nine meters away. Many identity cards, passports and electronic health cards are also equipped with RFID chips. At the airport, at the train station or in the middle of the street - your wallet is safely stowed away and yet you can be robbed at any time. If you travel a lot, you should definitely look into the topic of RFID card protection.
HOW DOES THE CARD PROTECTION WORK IN MY RFID WALLET?
You can't see the RFID card protection on the wallets. To protect your data invisibly, a type of aluminum foil is inserted between the outer layer and the inner lining of your wallet, which blocks all frequencies that try to establish a connection with the RFID chips on your cards.

HOW DO I RECOGNIZE A HIGH-QUALITY RFID WALLET?
Visually, an RFID wallet is no different from a normal purse. Whether it's a women's or men's wallet, you won't have to make any fashion compromises and can still place value on high-quality leather and good workmanship when buying. The incorporation of the film can cause a slight rustling noise in RFID wallets. The film can easily slip or wrinkle. That's why we work according to the manufacturer's exact specifications and have decided to use a special, self-adhesive film. The manufacturers' high-quality protective layers are TÜV certified .

PREVENT APPLICATION ERRORS: TIPS FROM THE MANUFACTORY
Our many years of experience and extensive testing have shown that the majority of security gaps are due to application errors. It is important to ensure that bank cards in particular are in an RFID-protected card compartment inside the wallet. The films are not built into all compartments in every wallet model. If you store a card in a bill compartment or coin compartment, it may not be possible to prevent the data from being read. The placement of the card compartments is also crucial in determining whether the RFID frequencies can be blocked from all sides. If the wallet is opened, for example, the maximum security decreases when it is open. In this case, a card would only be completely covered by the protective layer in the bottom card compartment. In daily use and especially in risky situations, we therefore recommend keeping the wallet closed if possible. BRAUN BÜFFEL is constantly working to maximize your security.
