Review: The RFID fraud-proof HuMn wallet

For a man, one of the most tedious decisions he can make in life is choosing the right wallet to stick with for a long period of time. Big, small, vertical and horizontal; they come in all shapes and sizes. Right when we find the one we really like, something new is introduced to us that completely throws off our equilibrium and makes us second guess everything we have been doing thus far. Ok, admittedly, I may have exaggerated my point just a wee bit, but picking a good wallet is really hard and not a decision to take lightly. After 29 years, I have finally settled on keeping my cards and cash separate and, for the most part I am happy.

Recently, I was pitched on a Kickstarter project that caught my eye: the HuMn wallet. Simplistic and cool, it aimed to hold both my cash and cards, while protecting me from dreaded RFID fraud (thieves who steal your card information directly from your pockets).

CIBC rolls out "mobile cheque deposit" update for iOS and Android

As big and proud a nation that we are, when it comes to adopting new technologies, Canada has always been a bit delayed to the game. ING first adopted this feature not too long ago, so today's announcement from CIBC is a big, positive step in the right direction; hopefully the rest of the Canadian banks follow suit. Basically, what this app update does is grants users' the ability to deposit cheques (personal or business) into their account using the camera on their iPhone, iPad, or Android smartphone or tablet.

Of course, this convenience does not run users' any additional bank fees.
