Why is there a need for RFID shielding for credit cards?
About 100 million credit cards now have RFID technology embedded into them. However, over the next two to three years, credit card issuers plan to replace every single magnetic stripe credit and debit card with new contactless smartcards. These cards can be read without even taking them out of your wallet. The RFID shielding technology in our ArmorShield® card sleeves blocks this transmission from happening as long as the card is inside the sleeve.
