By far the most important accessory for anyone would have to be a wallet. It doesn’t matter if you carry cash or not, you always have a card or a few with you.
In fact with the increase in electronic modes of payment, it’s impossible for anyone to survive without a card. Wallets keep your money and cards organized, but did you know that your wallet may not be keeping everything safe!?
5 years ago a company named after a pet came into being. Kinzd is a Hong Kong-based company that aims to provide simple, slim, minimalist wallets, at extremely affordable price points, using socially conscious material wherever possible.

RFID protected wallets have been the niche sales for the company. Just to make all this clear, let’s understand what RFID is and how important it is to have protection on your cards for it.

Electronic pickpocketing has become dominantly prevalent across the globe and blocking all RFID scanners and readers are the only way to keep your details safe. Thieves use easily accessible devices to scan and retrieve information from the cards RFID chip.
This chip responds automatically to a signal sent out by a reader once within range. The thief hence gets the encrypted access code and the card can be manipulated.
