Card holders with banknote compartment

A card holder with a banknote compartment is for anyone who doesn't want loose cash floating around in their pocket.

A card holder without one only half replaces your wallet. Your cards are neatly organised, but your banknotes still end up loose in your trouser pocket, crumpled and impossible to find at the wrong moment. At the bakery or the parking meter, you're digging around again.

Add a banknote compartment and everything you need each day travels in one piece. That's the whole idea: not carrying less, but carrying fewer things.

Here's what it really gives you. Your cards, banknotes and coins live in one holder, so that bulky wallet in your back pocket or at the bottom of your bag is no longer needed. You'll notice it first when you sit down, and then every time you pay.

The banknote compartment lies against the aluminium core instead of on top of it, so you'll hardly notice there are banknotes in there. Full, it's still thin enough for your front pocket, and that's exactly why people make the switch.

The market, the parking meter, a tip, the school fundraiser or the sports club bar: there are still moments when you can't do anything without cash. A holder that only takes cards forces you to bring something extra. This one doesn't.

The coin pocket closes with a zip, so nothing rolls loose in your coat pocket or bag. Hold it upside down and you won't find stray coins among your keys. Sounds minor, until it's happened to you once.

Your bank card and ID can be read contactlessly, even on a busy train or shopping street. The aluminium core acts as a shield and blocks that signal for as long as your cards are inside. There's nothing to set up, and it comes with every model.

The materials were chosen to last for years, not just to look good in the first month. The top-grain leather version develops its own sheen after a few months and gradually takes on the character of how you use it. That's what people still mention in their reviews after a year.

Rarely carry cash and want the most compact option there is? Take a look at the Discovery. If you often have banknotes on you, say when travelling or at the market, the Expedition gives you more room without feeling any bigger in your hand.

Prefer to compare by coin pocket? Those models are in card holders with a coin pocket. Exact capacities and dimensions are on each product page.

Also take a look at men's card holders, women's card holders, card holders with a banknote compartment, with a coin pocket, for 12 cards or with RFID protection. Looking for something smaller? You'll find those under small wallets and wallets.
