You’re captivated by the slim look of a minimalist metal wallet. But it looks so thin — do metal wallets really protect credit cards? Does metal block RFID? At PROOF, we spent years developing our metal wallet with its slim profile and metal materials. Discover the benefits of owning a metal wallet when you check out this overview from the experts.
1. Pickpocket Protection
You might not have realized it, but a metal wallet can deter a pickpocket from targeting you. While a traditional leather-only wallet is an easy target for thieves — especially in crowded places — a metal wallet can go in any pocket. When you choose to place our low-profile, minimalist wallet in your front pocket, it becomes a tougher target. Because your wallet is within your line of sight and less accessible to pickpockets, they’re less likely to choose you.
If you’re still worried about wallet theft, you can also upgrade your wallet with an AirTag insert. We’ve specially designed this accessory to fit easily into our current wallet design without getting in the way of your cards and cash. Now, not only does a metal wallet protect your credit cards, but you also have a tracking device so you know your wallet’s location at all times.
2. RFID Protection
Physical theft isn’t the only thing you have to worry about in our digital world. Pickpockets no longer have to steal your entire wallet to get ahold of your financial information. Today’s thieves use RFID readers to scan your card’s radio frequency identification and gain access to the information they need to use it.
With a metal RFID wallet from PROOF, you get the barrier you need to prevent digital thieves from accessing any of your financial data. But does all metal block RFID signals? No, not every metal is super effective for RFID blocking. To ensure you get a metal wallet that does protect your credit cards, one side of your wallet features metal that is proven to block RFID signals. The other side incorporates an RFID-blocking layer embedded in the leather or other soft materials to protect the rest of the wallet.
3. Damp Destroyer
Anyone with a busy lifestyle who needs to be up and moving in all sorts of environments has experienced the downfall of damp leather. Whether you sweat a lot or work in humid environments, a damp wallet can stick inside your pocket and transfer moisture to your cards and cash. With a metal wallet, you don’t need to worry about moisture absorption and transfer. Even jumping in the pool won’t prevent you from easily sliding your wallet out and accessing your cards — although your cash may get a little wet.
Bonus Perks
Now that it’s confirmed that metal wallets do protect credit cards, it’s time to talk about a couple of bonus perks.
Built to Last
While all-leather wallets can look really nice, they wear out over the years. Aged and distressed leather looks cool for a time, but the constant friction on your wallet will eventually cause it to degrade past the point where it’s useful. It can take just a few months or a couple of years for a leather wallet to require replacement.
Enter the metal and leather wallet combo. These wallets are built to last, with aerospace-grade materials that offer superior durability. So, while your metal wallet does protect credit cards, it also protects you from unnecessary purchases. And because we’re so confident in the tough durability of our wallets, we offer an UNRIVALED guarantee. Whether your wallet is lost, stolen, or damaged, we’ll replace it for free — no questions asked. Just reach out to us, and we’ll send you a new one.
Prevent Pain
How can a wallet prevent pain? You may have noticed that carrying a bulky wallet in your back pocket can cause you to sit unevenly, hurting your glutes and eventually traveling up into your hips and back. If your wallet is digging into your sitting position, you’ll be shifting around and applying extra pressure to your spine.
With a minimalist wallet design like ours, your wallet is so thin that you won’t even feel that you’re sitting on it. These wallets also fit in your front pocket, completely eliminating the need for back carry! Say goodbye to discomfort while sitting and improve your posture with a slim wallet from PROOF.

Do metal wallets protect credit cards? Does metal block RFID signals? The answers here are clear. Choose a metal wallet for extra protection all around and enjoy more durability, functionality, and practicality from this everyday essential.
