Using an Aluminum Wallet to Protect Your Identity   by Peter Murphy

RFID technology is a new and upcoming way to pay for commonly made purchases. The purpose of RFID technology is to make contactless credit card processing possible. Contactless credit card processing is becoming popular because it is very easy to switch to, and is more efficient resulting in shorter lines and wait periods.

Radio Frequency Identification, allows credit card payments to be processed without manually entering card information or physically swiping a card through a reader. Cards with RFID technology can be held up to a specially designed reader or scanner in the card monitor which allows the account information to be transmitted via radio frequency resulting in the card getting charged. Some drug stores already have these scanners in place.

There have, however, been some speculations and concerns regarding RFID technology. RFID readers are somewhat easy to obtain. If someone with ill intentions were to obtain such a reader, they would be able to simply have the reader disguised in their pocket, bag or briefcase and scan card information without the card owner knowing. Once this information is obtained, fraudulent purchases can be made in your name with your credit card or bank account.

If you prefer the ease of having a contactless card processing, there are some precautions you can take to avoid the risk of identity theft. Be sure to check your credit card and account statements on a regular basis. Keep precise records of purchases made with each card or account and match them to your statements. This is the best way to ensure that your personal information has not been stolen and used to make purchases that you have not approved.

Aluminum wallets are also becoming quite popular for those who choose to use contactless credit card processing. The aluminum material protects against most RFID scanners and readers because the transmitter cannot pass through the aluminum. The downside to aluminum wallets is that they are usually quite small so in some cases, they wouldn't be able to hold all of the belongings that you usually keep in your wallet. The Aluma Wallet XL is a new product from Telebrands. It is 25% larger than the Aluma Wallet and because of the material, still protects personal information from outside RFID transmitters and scanners.
