Axwell Wallet Magnets ExplainedUpdated a month ago

🧲 Will the Magnets in the Axwell Wallet Damage My Credit Cards?

Short answer: No — your cards are completely safe.

Here’s Why You Don’t Need to Worry:

  • 🔬 Lab-Tested & Proven: We spent 2 years rigorously testing the Axwell Wallet to ensure its magnets have zero effect on card data.
  • 🛡 Magnetic Shielding: The inner plates are made from thick 6061-T6 aluminum — a material that naturally shields against magnetic interference.
  • 🧲 Field Direction Matters: The Mag-Lock™ magnets are strategically positioned to face outward, away from your cards, eliminating risk of contact with magnetic stripes or EMV chips.
  • 📏 Ultra-Thin Magnets: The magnets we use are extremely thin, which means their magnetic field strength is too low to affect your cards.
  • 💳 EMV Technology: Most modern credit and debit cards now rely on EMV chips — not magnetic strips. These chips are fully resistant to magnetic fields.

The Axwell Wallet is designed to be tough on everything except your essentials. So you can carry your cards with confidence, knowing they’re protected against both wear and magnetic damage.
