About Credit Card Protection
About Credit Card Protection
Financial Security. Patented Defence Against Invisible Theft.
Contactless payment is an Australian convenience, but it is built on a technology that criminals exploit daily. Credit card skimming is the silent, invisible theft of your financial and identity details using boosted RFID readers that mimic tap-and-go terminals.
Skimming attacks happen everywhere—in local shopping centres, on public transport, and at airports. By the time you check your statement, your details may already be cloned, sold, or used for fraudulent purchases. Protecting your money requires a technical countermeasure as advanced as the threat.
The Risk: 13.56 MHz Skimming
Your credit cards, debit cards, transit passes, and most ePassports operate on the standard 13.56 MHz frequency. This is the key vulnerability.
Silent Capture:
Skimmers can read and copy unprotected card data wirelessly from a short distance — often without needing to touch your wallet or bag.
Theft of Identity:
The attack steals more than just the card details; it can also compromise personal identity data linked to the chip, setting the stage for long-term fraud.
Unknown Loss:
Unlike a physical theft where the card is missing, skimming leaves the card in your hand, meaning the crime is not reported until fraudulent transactions appear, often days later.
Everyday Danger: Where Invisible Theft Happens
The psychological impact of being compromised—the feeling of exposure and the hours spent reversing fraud—is what we fight against. The threat is everywhere you carry your cards:
Public Transport:
Buses, trains, trams, and busy platforms are prime skimming zones.
Crowded Places:
Local shopping centres, sporting events, and busy markets.
Travel Hubs:
Airports, hotel lobbies, and convention centres are high-risk areas.
Attacks are performed remotely, without you even noticing the criminal nearby.
Skimguard’s Patented eField Defence
Skimguard’s solution is built on our proprietary eField technology — an engineered countermeasure that creates an active barrier against intrusive scans.
Patented eField Barrier:
Generates an active, powerful 9mm electronic barrier around the card itself, specifically jamming the 13.56 MHz frequency.
Multi-Card Protection:
Unlike cheap sleeves that only shield one card, Skimguard solutions shield all cards stored together — securing multiple cards simultaneously.
Always-On Reliability:
Defence is passive, powered by the intruding skimmer's energy. This means zero batteries, zero charging, and zero apps—just constant, maintenance-free security.
