FAQ
The SkimSure® Card
The SkimSure card contains a protective device that is activated if someone tries to wirelessly read your contactless credit or debit cards. The SkimSure® card makes it impossible for your card details to be read.
Just place the SkimSure® card in your wallet or purse together with your credit and/or debit cards and you’re instantly protected. One SkimSure® card protects 1 inch on each side of the card, that is a total of 2 inches of protection.
The SkimSure card does not require a battery, as it draws energy from the criminal’s scanner to power up. However, the SkimSure card contains a high-tech chip that we guarantee a minimum 3 year life span of. Make sure you register your card, and we’ll notify you when your SkimSure® card is about to expire.
You can easily test your SkimSure card by keeping it next to your credit or debit card when you try to make a contactless payment. The card terminal will not be able to read your card details, as the SkimSure® card will block the card reader’s signals. If you try the transaction again, but this time with the SkimSure card held away from your card, the transaction will go through as normal.
The SkimSure card does not affect the magnetic stripe or the chip on your cards or interfere with any other device such as entry key fobs or smartphones.

Contactless cards and wireless theft questions
Wireless theft is a type of card theft where a thief steals card information by wirelessly scanning a contactless payment card with a card reading device. This device can be an actual card reader or a phone / app that contains Near Field Communication (NFC).
There is no maximum limit. Thieves are stealing your card details, not your card, which means they can make limitless transactions online.
Contactless cards and payments were introduced to provide a faster, more convenient way to pay for smaller transactions without having to enter your PIN code.
