Smart Wallet with Theft Detection and Alerts
SENTRICK SHIELD™ is a card-sized sensor that fits inside your wallet and sends a real-time notification to your phone when an RFID reader is detected nearby — so you are informed of scan activity as it happens.
Important: SENTRICK SHIELD™ is a notification tool — it does not prevent unauthorized card reads or guarantee the prevention of financial fraud. Always contact your card issuer if you suspect unauthorized activity.

How SENTRICK SHIELD™ Works in Your Wallet
A passive RFID-blocking layer combined with an active proximity sensor — designed to inform, not to guarantee.
RFID Proximity Alert
SENTRICK SHIELD™ detects when an RFID reader comes within close range of your wallet and sends an immediate notification to the SENTRICK app.
Contactless Scan Notification
Receive a push notification whenever a contactless scan attempt is detected near your wallet — so you are aware of activity in real time.
Location Stamp on Alert
Each alert includes a GPS location stamp of where the detection occurred — useful for reviewing patterns or reporting incidents to authorities.
Passive RFID Blocking Layer
SENTRICK SHIELD™ includes a passive RFID-blocking material layer that reduces the read range of external RFID readers when the wallet is closed.
Alert History Log
Review a timestamped log of all detected scan events in the SENTRICK app — useful for identifying high-risk locations or recurring patterns.
Long Battery Life
SENTRICK SHIELD™ operates for up to 6 months on a single charge under typical use — designed for everyday carry without frequent recharging.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does SENTRICK SHIELD™ prevent card theft or financial loss?
No. SENTRICK SHIELD™ is a notification tool — it detects RFID scan activity near your wallet and sends you an alert. It does not prevent unauthorized card reads, block all RFID signals in all conditions, or guarantee the prevention of financial fraud. If you believe your card information has been compromised, contact your card issuer immediately.
Does the RFID blocking layer stop all unauthorized scans?
The passive RFID-blocking layer reduces the effective read range of external RFID readers when the wallet is closed. It does not guarantee that all scan attempts will be blocked under all conditions. Signal strength, wallet orientation, and reader power level can affect performance.
What should I do if I receive a scan alert?
Review the alert location and time in the SENTRICK app. If you are concerned, contact your bank or card issuer to review recent transactions. SENTRICK does not contact financial institutions or authorities on your behalf.
Is SENTRICK SHIELD™ compatible with all wallets?
SENTRICK SHIELD™ is a card-sized sensor designed to fit in standard card slots. It requires Bluetooth connectivity to the SENTRICK app and a charged battery to send notifications.
Does SENTRICK SHIELD™ work internationally?
SENTRICK SHIELD™ requires Bluetooth connectivity to a paired smartphone. The SENTRICK app is available globally. RFID alert functionality is not dependent on cellular coverage — only Bluetooth range to your phone.
Is my location data stored or shared?
Location stamps on alerts are stored in your SENTRICK account and are not shared with third parties. See the SENTRICK Privacy Policy for full details on data handling.
