Why Testing Our Secure RFID Wallets with Your Access Card Is Not a Good Test.

We’ve received inquiries from customers who have tested their new Secure RFID Wallet with their work ID cards and found that the wallet does not block the card. This has understandably raised concerns about whether the wallet is functioning as intended.

Our Secure RFID Wallets are specifically designed to protect items operating at frequencies of 13.56MHz and above, including:

  • Debit/Credit Cards
  • Driver’s Licenses
  • Passport Cards
  • Hotel Room Key Card

However, many building access cards operate at a much lower frequency of 125KHz. Our wallets are not designed to block signals at this frequency. Think of it like hearing the deep bass from a car stereo—the lower frequency operates on a different level.

For 125KHz HID access cards, we recommend our Secure Badgeholder® BloxProx™ products, which are specifically engineered for this purpose. Please note, though, that some brands of 125KHz cards may not be compatible with any blocking solution.

Rest assured, your Secure RFID Wallet is providing the necessary protection for your credit cards, driver’s licenses, and passport cards as intended.
