On the latest debit/credit cards you will see a magnetic ship embeded in the card. These are Radio Frequency IDentification chips.
These chips are being used as a replacement for the once ubiquitous magnetic stripe. By using RFID on these cards instead of the stripe, the convenience we gain is that they are less susceptible to damage, and don’t need to be run through a strip reader which has its own problems. How often have you had to run a card through three or four times per transaction? It’s a pain compared to just tapping the card reader. The RFID chips can also store more information and have that information encrypted, supposedly for your safety.
To protect your credit/debit card, just place it in an RFID blocking sleeve and place into your wallet.
