Product Details & Features

SkimGuard SOS Card with QR Code

RFID Card protection and a digital emergency function in one card

The SkimGuard SOS Card combines two practical functions in a credit card-sized format: passive shielding for contactless bank and credit cards and a digital SOS card for important emergency information.

The card’s special material is designed to interfere with communication between contactless payment cards and unauthorised readers. When placed close to the payment cards, the SkimGuard Card can reduce the risk of unwanted contactless scanning.

The individual QR code allows helpers to access approved emergency contacts, health information and personal notes directly in their smartphone browser – without installing an app or creating an account.

• Passive shielding for contactless payment cards
• Individual QR code scannable with any smartphone
• Quick access to emergency contacts and health information
• Writing field for important basic details
• Data stored exclusively in Switzerland
• 5 years of use included – no subscription

Two protective functions combined

The key functions at a glance

The card combines protection for contactless payment cards with quickly accessible digital SOS information.

Card protection and SOS function

The passive SkimGuard shielding and the individual QR code combine card protection and digital emergency information in one product.

Health information

Allergies, medication, medical conditions, vaccinations and medical notes can be presented clearly for an emergency.

Contact and voluntary location sharing

Helpers can contact approved contacts directly and, if necessary, voluntarily share their current location.

Swiss data platform

The approved information is stored exclusively in Switzerland. The card is not a tracker and does not record location data in the background.

Who is the SkimGuard SOS Card suitable for?

The card is suitable for people who want to keep important emergency information readily available in their wallet while adding protection for contactless payment cards.

Older people and those living alone

Make emergency contacts, medication and personal notes quickly accessible.

People with medical conditions

Helpful for allergies, diabetes, epilepsy, cardiovascular conditions or long-term medication.

Travellers and active people

Keep important information available in the event of a medical emergency, accident or injury while away from home.

Children and people requiring assistance

Support for school trips, care situations, dementia, disorientation or an increased need for assistance.

Passive shielding function

Additional protection for contactless payment cards

Contactless bank and credit cards communicate with compatible readers via radio signals. The special material of the SkimGuard SOS Card is designed to interfere with this communication at close range.

The card is kept in the wallet or card holder together with the payment cards to be protected. The protective function is passive and requires neither activation nor a battery.

• Suitable for contactless bank and credit cards
• Can make unwanted contactless scanning more difficult
• Place close to the cards you want to protect
• For wallets, card holders and handbags
• No battery or charging required

Compact and practical for everyday use

Durable card with an additional writing field

The credit card-sized SkimGuard SOS Card fits in virtually any wallet or card holder. Important basic information can also be written by hand on the back.

The digital information is not stored on the card itself. After the QR code is scanned, it is securely retrieved from the Swiss DynaTag platform and can be updated at any time.

• Practical credit card-sized format
• Durable design for everyday use and travel
• Writing field for important basic information
• Individual QR code for the digital SOS page

Important: An active internet connection is required to access digital emergency information, contacts and messages. The card is not a GPS tracker; location is shared only voluntarily and with the explicit consent of the person scanning the card. The SkimGuard function is a passive shielding aid and does not guarantee protection against every form of card misuse. For the best possible effect, place the card close to the bank and credit cards you want to protect. The stored information is maintained by the user and does not replace official medical documents.

Frequently Asked Questions – FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ about the SkimGuard SOS Card with QR Code

Answers about shielding effectiveness, correct positioning, the digital SOS function, data management and costs.

How does the SkimGuard SOS Card work?

The card combines two functions: Its passive shielding material can make unauthorised contactless scanning of nearby bank and credit cards more difficult. It requires neither a battery nor activation.

In addition, the unique QR code leads to your personal DynaTag SOS WebApp. The emergency contacts, health information and important notes you have chosen to share can be displayed directly in the browser.

Does SkimGuard guarantee complete protection against contactless scanning?

No. SkimGuard is a passive shielding aid and does not guarantee protection against every form of contactless scanning or every unauthorised transaction.

Its actual effectiveness depends, among other things, on the position, number and arrangement of the cards and on the reader used. You should therefore continue to check your card statements regularly.

How should the SkimGuard Card be positioned?

Place the card in your wallet, card holder or handbag as close as possible to the bank and credit cards you wish to protect.

If you carry several payment cards, their specific arrangement can affect the shielding effectiveness. At the same time, the QR code should remain clearly visible and legible.

Does the card need to be charged or use batteries?

No. The SkimGuard SOS Card works without a rechargeable battery, disposable battery or electronic power supply and does not need to be charged.

However, the smartphone scanning the card needs an active internet connection to open the digital SOS page.

What information can be displayed via the QR code?

You decide which information is visible after scanning. Depending on your configuration, this may include:

• Emergency contacts with telephone numbers
• Personal details and profile photo
• Allergies, medication and health information
• Important notes for first responders or emergency services
• Digital pinboard for photos and messages

Can I update or delete my information myself?

Yes. Through your personal user account, you can change, add or delete contacts, health information, images and notes at any time.

You can manage your information using a smartphone, tablet or computer. The QR code on the card remains unchanged.

Is the SkimGuard SOS Card a GPS tracker?

No. The card does not have GPS and does not continuously record or transmit a location.

Only the person scanning the QR code can voluntarily share their own current location. To do so, they must actively select the function and give their explicit consent.

Are there any ongoing costs or a subscription?

No. The purchase price includes 5 years of use of the DynaTag platform. There are no monthly fees and no mandatory subscription.

Once the included usage period has ended, access can be extended if required for a one-off renewal fee.

What happens if the card is lost or damaged?

Your emergency data is not stored on the card, but remains on the Swiss DynaTag platform.

If the card is lost or damaged, or if the QR code becomes illegible, you can request a replacement card with the same QR code. Your existing SOS page and stored data can continue to be used.
