WeShield® RFID/NFC Signal-blocking Card –Advanced Contactless Card Protector – RFID proof

 Why is it so important to have your data protected?

Cards with a chip contain personal data that can be copied and used for identity theft, fraud and to skim money from your accounts. With a simple handheld device, scammers can wirelessly / contactless harvest your data in what is also known as Radio-Frequency IDentification (RFID) theft – without you even noticing.

Today, almost every card you carry contains a chip with your personal data, leaving you vulnerable to a whole range of crimes and attacks. Contactless theft is so easy that you won’t have any idea that you’ve been targeted until it’s too late. Once your data has been stolen, thieves can easily use up your daily contactless spend limit across a number of small transactions each day, making it extremely difficult to catch the culprits.

Contactless smart cards feature an integrated circuit that stores data and communicates with a payment terminal availing of Near-Field Communication (NFC), rendering this technology much more susceptible to theft.

This relatively new phenomenon relies on people being unaware of or not taking precautions against the risk of radio-frequency data and monetary theft.

With the simple use of a WeShield® signal-blocking card, this risk is virtually eliminated. Indeed, it’s so simple that you can mindlessly outsmart potential would-be thieves from snatching your data!

What is the WeShield® credit card protector?

The WeShield® contactless card protector avails of the latest cutting-edge technology to protect your funds, your identity and your credit card and debit card details. Every card you carry that bears a chip contains personal data that can be covertly stolen without you even being aware. This data can then be used to steal funds from your accounts or even for identity fraud purposes. This is why it is so important to shield your data. You can easily be protected by carrying a WeShield® contactless card protector in your regular wallet to essentially block your actual data from being shared against your will.

How does the WeShield® RFID/NFC Signal-blocking Card work?

Simply put, the WeShield® data protector sends out mixed signals that interfere with any real data being transferred, to keep you and your data safe.

The RFID clocking chip essentially acts as a “jamming device”. The internal structure is just like a regular card with a contactlessintegrated circuit for Near-Field Communication (NFC).The difference is that the data is blocked, instead reading a meaningless interference signal.

The WeShield® RFID/NFC contactless card protector thus acts as a powerful shielding signal that inhibits your personal chips – and thus your personal data – from being read, effectively stopping thieves from accessing any 13.56MHz NFC/credit card you have stored near the WeShield® card protector.

In fact, availing of this avant-garde technology is so simple that even those who are most vulnerable to data theft – younger people, older people, those who are not so technologically savvy, people who are easily distracted or even just those who work and hang out in crowded spaces – can avail of this contactless card protector. Once it has been inserted into the wallet or purse, it can be virtually forgotten about!

Can I still use contactless payments with the WeShield® card?

Our advanced anti-skimming card has a protection range of 3.5 centimetres above and 3.5 centimetres below the contactless card protector. That means that the WeShield® signal blocking card offers an anti-scanning range of 7 cm in total, rendering your whole wallet protected.

Hence, to make an authorised contactless purchase at the checkout for example, simply remove the card from the wallet and position the card near the scanner to complete the payment via credit card, debit card or other smartcard with contactless technology. At any other point in time, your cards are safe and protected by our state-of-art wallet protector for contactless cards.

Some RFID/NFC blocking cards on the market have a much smaller range of protection, leaving you still vulnerable to data theft.

Our Premium RFID/NFC signal-blocking cards also have a frequency range of between 10 MHz and 20MHz for a truly broad field of protection compared to the other contactless card protectors on the market, which generally have a range from 13.56MHz for NFC cards, credit cards and debit cards.

The extra security level offered by the WeShield® data protection card means that even if you’re at a sports event, concert, shopping centre, night club, on public transport or any other crowded place, you are still protected.

What does the WeShield® RFID/NFC blocking card look like?

Our data protection guard looks pretty much like a regular credit card, with an integrated smart chip. The WeShield® data protector comes in three colour varieties – grey, blue or multi-coloured so you can be safe in style!

How many WeShield® anti-contactless cards do you need?

Regular slim, bifold or trifold wallets, phone case wallets, card holders and ID wallets only require a single WeShield® contactless card protector. For larger, longer or ‘secretary wallet’ types, simply use two WeShield® protection devices to transform your regular wallet or purse into an anti-scan wallet.

Some wallets and purses are sold with in-built RFID card protection devices, meaning you have limited choice in the style and size of your wallet – not to mention that the prices are higher. What’s more, once your wallet wears out, you have to buy another to remain protected.

The WeShield® RFID/NFC blocking card, rather, fits nicely into the card slot of any wallet. Since there is no battery within nor any recharging required, the card can last forever. If you like to change your wallet or purse regularly, this also means you’re never left vulnerable to scanning scams or theft.

How can you test if the WeShield® RFID/NFC data protector is working?

Simply insert the WeShield® contactless card protector into a card slot in your regular wallet. When you go to make your next contactless payment, slowly move the wallet towards the scanner to test the range and confirm that your data is protected to within just 7 centimetres.

The advanced WeShield® technology therefore means you don’t have to renounce the super-convenient contactless payment technology to keep your data safe!

However, it's easy to protect yourself.

The solution is to use this  RFID blocking card  to protect your data on your Bank Cards or Passport. Simply place the WeShield® Card with your RFID /NFC assets.
