With a minimalist and elegant design, it allows you to carry all your credit cards, takes up very little space, and protects you from data theft using RFID technology. In this article we will tell you all about wallets, card holders, and RFID.
The Classic Wallet
Among the male public, one of the most popular accessories are wallets. They are usually made of leather, with a multitude of compartments, and are used to carry money, cards and documents. The most common are horizontal in distribution, and close on themselves, like a book. Almost everyone has one on them, to have easy access to all the necessary information on a day-to-day basis, as well as to be able to carry money and cards to make purchases. Since their invention, they have become an indispensable accessory for anyone, and more so today, that we are loaded with many cards and cards of all kinds.
Disadvantages of Classic wallets
But wallets have many drawbacks. To begin with, the most used material, the leather, although it is very resistant, ends up spoiling, loses its luster and ages. It is very common to see portfolios in poor condition, and that gives a very bad image. In addition, in portfolios, as there is no well-defined organization method, we tend to accumulate many more cards, papers, tickets, and countless other documents that are not really useful and take up a lot of space.
Our wallet ends up becoming a great mass of papers and cards, bulging a lot. It ends up becoming uncomfortable, and if we don't check it from time to time, it is impossible to know what we are carrying. Additionally, leather wallets are not RFID-protected, a serious security flaw for today's world.
Minimalist wallets
In recent years, many manufacturers have launched to design new minimalist wallet models that seek to end the problems of lifelong wallets. There are already many models, usually made of plastic and metal, that aim to help us stop accumulating so much, and make our day to day lighter.
A minimalist wallet is very practical, since you only carry those documents that you really use. You will find that you can live with much less, and you will feel less heavy and more relaxed.

What does RFID mean?
RFID technology stands for “Radio Frequency Identification”, which means radio frequency identification. It is used in many fields, from factories to banks to supermarkets. It is a very useful technology, since just by bringing an RFID emitting object closer to an RFID receiver, the data can be read and transferred, without the need for a physical connection between emitter and receiver. That makes, in today's world, full of devices and technologies that need to connect with each other, it is a reference technology.
RFID dangers
Any new technology carries a potential danger. RFID technology could not be less. All current credit cards have a built-in RFID plate, which constantly emits data, to make Contactless payments, among other things. They make life easier for us, but we are not aware that we are transmitting our data at all times (at a short distance, yes).
Potentially, a data thief, bringing an RFID reader device to our wallet, can read all the data on our credit cards and get hold of it. Thus, without realizing it, just walking around the city, we can be victims of data theft using RFID technology.
How a Wallet with RFID protection helps you
Wood World Barcelona wallets, with RFID protection, prevent the theft of data from any of your cards. You don't have to do anything special, just carry your cards inside the card holder, and they will automatically always be protected against data theft.
RFID theft protection is a technology that prevents the emission of RFID data from your cards while they are inside the card holder. It is as if your Contactless board is disabled. Thus, your card becomes one of the old ones, which did not have this Contactless plate.
Once you remove your card from the card holder, it continues to issue Contactless data in a normal way, with which you can make your payments and operate as usual. As soon as you put it back in the card holder, it stops emitting data, preventing theft via RFID
