Here at SageBrown, we have a developed a range of hand-crafted leather RFID protected wallets and card holders to protect our customers against contactless payment theft. 

 

What is RFID protection and why do you need it? 

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Devices), are devices that contain an extremely thin chip, for example bank cards and passports that allows the user to wave their device in front of a scanner for payment/identification. The most common use of this is in contactless payments. Whilst this allows for easier and quicker spending and travel, it also allows easier access for scammers to take money or information from you, by simply putting a scanning device close enough to your contactless card. Whilst in most cases there is a limit as to how much can be spent in a single contactless payment (currently £100 in the UK), it is deeply upsetting and frustrating should it happen. However, you can take simple preventative measures to keep your money and personal details safe with SageBrown’s RFID blocking wallets and card holders. Our RFID wallets incorporate an ultra-thin metal fibre mesh in their linings to give you peace of mind that your cards are safe from contactless payment theft. 

 

How does digital pick pocketing actually work? 

Unfortunately, it is simple for criminals to steal your hard-earned money. All they need is a portable payment device and by standing close to you on a busy train, bus or tram the criminals withdraw money from your account in small amounts so that pin numbers aren’t required. Fortunately, it is very simple to prevent all this by keeping your credit and debit cards in an RFID wallet. 

 

How does RFID blocking work? 

An ultra-thin foil film simply stops the radiation. This film lining is incorporated in an invisible way on the inside of our leather wallets and card holders allowing the card holder to retain its luxurious, elegant feel and classic design while your cards remain safe. This protective, special foil layer sets up a Faraday Shield. Specially developed for shielding electromagnetic waves the foil barrier stops all relevant frequencies with a range of 125 kHz LF to 13.56 MHz HF. 

 

What is a Faraday shield?  

A Faraday shield is an enclosure used to block electromagnetic fields. SageBrown RFID real leather wallets have Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) protection. This protective, special foil layer is just under the outer layer of the card holder which sets up a Faraday Shield. This blocks the radio frequency signal used for Credit and Debit cards. Therefore it stops the scammers taking money illegally from your cards. Once inside the  card holder all of your credit and debit cards are protected.

 

What else can I do to prevent digital criminals taking money from my account? 

*Make sure you keep your payment card in an RFID wallet! 

*Always block the view when entering your PIN code. As soon as criminals get your code, they are able to access larger amounts digitally. 

*Switch off contactless payments (This is often possible via the banking app on your phone). You can also lower the daily limit for debit card payments. In this way you limit the damage if your cards are compromised. 

 

What leather are the RFID card holders made from? 

Our collection of leather RFID blocking card cases are all handmade in premium calf leather chosen for its beauty, feel and durability. Available in smooth, saffiano and crocodile skin textures in classic and contemporary colours, so you can make a lasting impression, wherever you are. 

 

Are SageBrown leather RFID card wallets durable? 

SageBrown leather card holders with RFID protection feature folded credit card edges for extra luxury and durability. All SageBrown card wallets are embossed with the words "SageBrown Fine Leather", a mark you can trust to be your perfect daily companion. 

 

Can I personalise my RFID card holder? 

To make your wallet extra special, here at Sage Brown we offer personalised embossing of up to four characters on the majority of our wallets and card holders. Embossing embellishes the leather by indenting uppercase initials or wording through pressure. We offer blind embossing (no colour), gold or silver in Helvetica font. For up to four characters including full stops, if required, there is a flat price of £15.00. 

 

Do RFID card holders make good gifts? 

If you are looking for a gift for him or her on their birthday, Valentine’s Day, Anniversary, Christmas, Wedding, Graduation or just a gift to yourself, a RFID blocking card holder makes the perfect gift. All SageBrown wallets are elegantly presented in beautiful packaging for that extra touch of quality and class. Stay organised in style with SageBrown’s luxury British leather goods.
