Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions about RFID security and Scanner Guard, answered.
The Scanner Guard Card uses patented RFID blocking technology to create an electromagnetic shield around your cards. When placed in your wallet, it blocks the radio frequencies (specifically 13.56 MHz) used by RFID scanners, preventing unauthorized access to your card information.
Yes, a single Scanner Guard Card is designed to protect multiple cards within its blocking range (typically a few inches). For optimal protection, place the Scanner Guard Card centrally in your wallet or stack of cards.
Yes, our cards have undergone rigorous independent testing by MET Laboratories, a renowned testing and certification organization. The tests confirm our cards effectively block the 13.56 MHz frequency used by most contactless payment cards and identification documents, preventing unauthorized scanning attempts.
The blocking technology itself does not degrade. The Scanner Guard Card uses passive technology (no batteries) and will continue to protect as long as it remains physically intact. It's made from durable materials similar to a standard credit card.
No. The Scanner Guard Card is completely passive. It requires no batteries or charging. It draws power from the incoming signal of an RFID reader to activate its blocking mechanism.
RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) is a technology that uses radio waves to wirelessly read and capture information stored on a tag or chip attached to an object. Common uses include contactless payments, ID cards, passports, and inventory tracking.
RFID-enabled cards can be read wirelessly without physical contact. Criminals can use portable, sometimes hidden, RFID readers to scan wallets or bags from a distance (potentially several feet) in public places. This is often called 'electronic pickpocketing' or 'RFID skimming'.
Any card that allows for contactless payment (often indicated by a symbol resembling a sideways WiFi logo) is potentially vulnerable. This includes many credit cards, debit cards, transit passes, hotel key cards, employee badges, modern passports, and some driver's licenses.
