With the current rapid developments in technology, there are many applications of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) in our daily lives. These include things like company staff cards, Octopus cards, credit cards and even our recently upgraded smart Hong Kong Identity cards. These RFID applications can be very convenient. but with them comes a new problem of RFID theft.

This can result in serious property loss and threats to personal safety. The easiest and most straightforward way to protect yourself from personal data and property theft is to use an RFID security wallet. Want to know more? Read the following article and choose the right RFID wallet for you.

What is the principle behind an RFID anti-theft wallet?

What is the principle behind RFID? Perhaps you have encountered the following experience. If you have a number of sensor-based cards in your wallet, when you take your wallet out to tap on the MTR ticketing machine, it can’t detect your Octopus card. This is because different RFIDs are interfering with each other. This is the principle behind RFID anti-theft wallets, they muddle up different radio frequencies so cards cannot be scanned by a criminal with a sensor, so you no longer have to worry about credit card or personal data theft.

RIFD wallets are now lighter and more versatile with an ultra-slim design and a slide-out card display that fits in with our modern day habits.
