What does RFID blocking do?

Answer

RFID blocking is designed to help reduce unauthorized scanning of certain contactless cards or IDs that use radio-frequency technology.

For travel and wallet products, RFID protection can be useful when cards are stored close together in crowded places such as airports, subway gates, hotels, and payment counters. It is a practical layer of security, but it is not the whole security plan.

The LORZOR Passport Holder for Travel is described as blocking RFID signals at frequencies of 13.56 MHz and above, which covers common contactless card frequencies. Other LORZOR products should be checked individually before claiming RFID blocking, because features can vary by product.

RFID blocking does not protect against every kind of theft, loss, fraud, or card misuse. You should still keep your wallet or passport holder in a secure place, monitor cards, and contact your bank if you notice suspicious activity.
