Q: Why do I need to be protected?
A: Many credit cards, debit cards, smart cards, drivers’ licenses, and access cards are embedded with a Radio
Frequency ID (RFID) chip. Passports and passport cards can have the RFID chip in them too. The RFID chips can contain
your credit card and personal information. These RFID cards are susceptible to electronic pickpocketing.
Q: What is electronic pick pocketing?
A: When personal information on credit cards, debit cards, drivers’ licenses, and other cards are skimmed by RFID
scanners.
Q: Do I have an RFID card that could be electronically pickpocketed?
A: Many credit cards, debit cards, smart cards, drivers’ licenses, and access cards are embedded with a Radio
Frequency ID (RFID) chip, which are susceptible to electronic pick pocketing.
Q: What is the Scanner Guard Card?
A: The Scanner Guard Card is the size of a credit card that is designed to help protect personal information stored on
credit cards, debit cards, smartcards, RFID drivers’ licenses and any other RFID Cards from electronic pick pocketing
Q: How does the Scanner Guard Card work?
A: The Scanner Guard Card is composed of a mixture of metals that disrupt the scanner from reading the RFID
signals. There are outside and inside coatings of our metal mixture to help protect RFID personal information.
This coating is not rigid, so the card is flexible.
Q: How do I know Scanner Guard Card™ will really block RFID scanners?
A: MET Labs, North America’s leading 3rd party RFID Test Lab, has tested Scanner Guard Card and approved that it
works to stop credit card RFID information from being read by scanners. When used per instructions and when the
Scanner Guard Cards are in slats on one side of the wallet, and the wallet is then closed, any credit cards that are in the
slats on the other side of the wallet that come in close proximity to the Scanner Guard Cards, will receive the same
protections from being scanned.
Q: Is the Scanner Guard Card™ durable?
A: The Scanner Guard Card is coated with our metal mixture. This mixture gives the card a smooth texture, and makes
it durable. Because its metallic shielding is embedded in plastic, it should last for a long time.
Q: Will the Scanner Guard Card™ make my wallet bulky?
A: The Scanner Guard Card has the same dimensions of your standard credit card. It is less than half as thick as a
standard credit card.
