What is RFID shielding?
RFID shielding uses materials designed to reduce radio communication between a contactless card or device and a reader while it is stored in a shielded position.
What is Accidental Payment?
Accidental Payment happens when a contactless reader picks up a different card from the one the customer intended to use. If you are close enough to a payment reader during its scan window, your card could respond before the paying customer’s card — meaning you could potentially pay for somebody else’s shopping or journey. The same issue can also result in the wrong one of your own cards being charged.
What is eSkimming?
eSkimming is unauthorised contactless interaction with a bank card, travel card or passport chip using a reader or compatible device. This can include attempts to read information or initiate an unwanted transaction without the cardholder deliberately presenting their card. NOMO™ RFID shielding products are designed to help reduce unwanted contactless communication while cards and passports are stored.
What is Card Clash?
Card Clash happens when two contactless cards respond together and a terminal cancels the transaction or a travel gate does not open.
How do I use NOMO™ Flippa?
Carry a backup bank card separately from your phone. Keep Flippa closed for shielding; open, flip to the card you want and tap while it remains inside the wallet. Explore NOMO™ Flippa.
Are passports contactless too?
Many modern biometric passports contain a contactless chip. NOMO™ Passage is a removable shielding insert designed for passport storage. Explore NOMO™ Passage.
Can shielding guarantee protection?
No. Shielding can help reduce unwanted contactless communication, but performance depends on correct positioning and use. It cannot guarantee prevention of every unwanted interaction.
