Slim and discree
Very slim, easy fit under shirt. Great for cash, cards etc. Just a bit tight with a passport but it managed, even with a passport case (in fact the case was useful as on a busy day the belt can get a little sweaty).
Beautiful Light and Private
Lovely Travel Money Belt private and nobody’s else can notice it when you hide the travel belt under the clothes
I bought beige colour and will buy another one black colour
Can fit mobile keys bank cards money also documents. I like this one because it is not to big as I don’t want people seeing it
Very happy with my item
Arrived on time and were well packed:-)
Fits my phone!
I bought this as I was going to an 80s party and I dressed up as Freddie Mercury, this came with white trousers and no pockets. So I needed somewhere to keep my keys and phone, this fitted the bill perfectly, although I would have preferred the colour to a little lighter as when I stood with my fist in the air in a classic Freddie pose, my top rose up and the flesh coloured money belt came into view looking like a my strange shaped belly hanging out, oh well, it was a great night and I’m sure this will be used again (the money belt, not the costume)
Sure it will do the job nicely …
Arrived promptly. Super light and seems roomy enough for passport and cards etc. Not going until end of August but am definitely happy with it at the moment. Looks just like the online pix.
A little more than I would like to have paid.
Did the job, not sure if it was any better than the none rfid blocking belt I had already.
2 passports in one section
A couple of cards in the card section
Back up cash Notes in the remaining section
Worked well.
Clip didn’t come undone for me unless I pressed it except on a couple of occasions where another bags strap put pressure on it.
Clip on my old belt has never come undone.
Why didn`t I get this years ago
Whether this has a life-long wear built into it or not I would buy it again if it did in years to come, cease to function.It does everything that I`ve required of it.

Travelling
This was ideal for me as I needed to keep all my important paperwork, passport and money safe. Nice and quiet and fits well under clothing (although depends on how much you stuff in to it of course!). Worth every penny.
Very discreet when wearing
I purchased 2 of these, one had a slightly loose catch which kept coming undone, however this was easily resolved by slightly bending the clips outwards and is now perfect and not once came undone since. Great value and if worn low under your belt line doesn’t show at all. Use during a safari in Africa and felt secure that my money and passport (which all fitted) was safe.
A good discrete produc
Does the job and discrete. I bought this to replace a similar one. The waist elastic of the old one had become slack and the zips failed, but only after several years use. Just the right size to take a standard passport and flat notes, while storing below the clothing on or below the waist line. Backing fabric comfortable against the skin. A good product.
Excellent travel money bel
Excellent travel money belt. Recently used this for my trip to Madrid – enough rom for passport, boarding pass and my small wallet. I wore this under my shirt for most of the trip and it was practically invisible and not bulky at all which is what I was looking for. Excellent quality and well made AmazonBasics product. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for something smaller and more discreet.
Lightweight and perfect for travel.
I wore this recently on a trip abroad. For what it is – a belt designed to be worn under clothes – it’s very comfortable. It’s very flat and doesn’t have any lumps that stick out to cause discomfort. There’s a large pocket at the back that fits bank notes and passports comfortably and a smaller pocket on the front for other small items. The large pocket has a couple of mesh pouches at the back, one is perfectly sized for a backup credit card and a Health Insurance Card.
With practicalities out of the way – one of the selling features of this belt is the RFID blocking capability. This means that no-one will be able to scan the chip on your credit card or passport if it inside this belt. The material is very thin, which is partly what makes it so comfortable. I was able to scan the chip on my passport and bank card with a RFID reader before they went in the belt, but I was not able to scan them after they went in the belt. So far as I can tell the material completely blocks all attempts to scan RFID chips.

This is a usefully sized travel belt that will carry your passport, cash and a variety of valuables. It’s thin, so long as you don’t pack big items in it or pack too thick a pile of items.
The khaki colour is somewhere similar to skin tone, depending of course what tone of skin you have, which means that if someone catches sight of it they might mistake it for either underwear or skin. The art is to not use it in public which gives you a better chance of hanging on to your valuables in tricky situations.
I’ve knocked off one star for two reasons, firstly the belt doesn’t attach to the very edge of the pouch which means it can get folded over when you wear it for an extended peroiod. Secondly, the clip has held up admirably for me so far but in the interests of being thin and lightweight it feels like it’s going to be the first thing that goes, at which point you’re either going to have to fashion some kind of running repair, tie a knot in the belt to hold it around your waist, or stop using it.
Simple but effective money belt; no complaints so fa
I travel a fair amount and find a money belt reassuring, especially in cities where pickpockets are common. I prefer to wear it under rather that over clothing, as I can’t see the sense in wearing a visible pouch labelled, in effect, “here is my money”. This belt, which comes complete with a discreet “Amazon basics” logo, is made of black polyester and has an elasticated strap that goes round your waist, with a snap fastener at one end.
It offers two zipped pockets, a smaller one in front and a larger one behind, with the larger one having two internal compartments to help separate things like credit cards and tickets.
I don’t recommend stuffing too much into a money belt, but you can easily fit a UK passport along with some banknotes and cards. You could slip a small phone into it but it’s not suitable for anything more than that; it’s a belt not a bag. A belt pocket like this is quite flimsy because of the thin material. It can be awkward to use if it is under clothing; the zips on this run reasonably smoothly which is helpful
This belt claims RFID protection. I haven’t been able to test it, but the idea is to prevent detectors from reading the RFID tags on cards, avoiding the possibility of someone extracting a payment from a contactless card.
The back of the belt is soft, which is good if you wear it next to your skin.
I can’t comment on durability yet but will report back if there are any issues. Nothing special, but no complaints so far.

Practical money belt. Space for passport and money, discreet under clothing. Neutral colour. Adjustable waist. I prefer a money belt to keeping valuables in pockets or my handbag, especially in crowded airports or city centres. If you do too, you would find this very useful, and at a budget cost.
Great Produc
RFID scanning is becoming more of a problem and this lovely money belt from Amazon solves it, firstly to has RFID blocking material which makes scanning much harder (not impossible but harder), also it is just a good money belt, well made, good band and easily adjustable with a quality feel to it. Overall strongly recommended.
AmazonBasics RFID Travel Money Bel
This is an essential bit of kit for anyone who travels on a frequent basis. The belt itself seems longer than many other examples and therefore can carry more stuff. There are two main compartments, with the addition of two webbed pockets on the larger back section. The shape is fairly slim fit, thus it’s more comfortable to wear close to the body without incurring additional bulk. Apparently there’s an integral RFID shield, but looking online it’s clear that this isn’t a particularly necessary feature because not all credit cards/passports are compatible.
My only real concern about the structure of this belt is the elasticated waist strap and puny plastic clasp. The former would undoubtedly become stretched and lose its stretch after a while. The latter is also rather liable to snap or become uncoupled whilst in use.
In conclusion: as with a great number of Amazon Basics products, it’s cheap, useful and simple to use. That said, any frequent fliers would probably be advised to purchase something a little more robust.
This is a well-made travel document and money belt, extremely comfortable to wear; I popped it on when it arrived and forgot I was wearing it, unlike heavy canvas waist bags which can dig in and be uncomfortable.
It comprises a soft fabric (100% polyester) pouch with two full length zipped pockets. The fabric is stated to be RFID blocking. It’s difficult to check this claim out – I tried to see if it would interfere with radio signals but didn’t have a lot of luck. The khaki colour isn’t greeny brown but nearer beige, with a beige webbing belt. This isn’t a bad thing, this is an item that you don’t want to draw attention to and the neutral colour is a good idea.
The pouch is attached to a soft elasticated webbing belt that is fully adjustable with a great deal of stretch, the soft breathable lightweight backing material of the pouch and the belt materials are comfortable held next to the skin.
With a usable internal capacity of 27 cms long x 11.5 cms deep at the back pocket and 18 x 8.5 cms at the front pocket, it’s big enough to hold a passport and travel documents as well as cash.
The dimension of 8mm given in the description almost certainly refers to the thickness when empty, rather than any other dimension, I measured the clasp with the pouch behind it to be approximately this size.
As well as for travel I also find these belts useful to wear around the house if I’m wearing an item that doesn’t have pockets. I keep my phone and keys close at hand, I can pop small items in and keep my hands free. Particularly useful for anyone with disabilities who may need to keep their hands free for sticks, crutches and wheelchair wheels.
The stitching and finishing is very good throughout. I do have one reservation and that is how secure the clasp fastening is. The pouch has a quick release clasp on the webbing belt with a simple lever catch that presses in to release from the front. This isn’t as secure, generally as a side-press catch, where both sides of the clasp have to be pressed at the same time to release it.
I found the catch very easy to release on mine, and I am concerned that it might come undone easily whilst being worn. I have to say that it hasn’t come undone as I moved around whilst wearing it.
Four stars, rather than five then, for this useful way of keeping your personal papers and cash safe.
Basic Khaki bel
A money Belt, which comes in just one colour. Khaki.
Like most such things, it’s basically a pouch, with a long elastic strap attached that you use to put it on.
But unlike most moneybelts I’ve had like this in the past, the first thing you notice is the size. At 30.5 centimetres long and 12.5 centimetres wide, it’s almost twice the size of some of that I’ve used. So there’s a fair amount of storage space.
And there are two compartments as well. Both opened via zips, which are pretty sturdy and shouldn’t break easily [like some I’ve had in the past]. The bigger of the two compartments has two bits of strong mesh inside, which form pockets. So with two pockets, the bit of that compartment that is outside them, and the other compartment also, that’s a good amount of storage space.
The elastic strap that you use to put it on is pretty sturdy, and very easy to adjust. You hook it through belt straps, which is just the right width for, and then clasp it together using a plastic clasp on the strap. Which is easy to operate and holds it tight.
Like other belts of this style, it will stand out against the front of your clothes. But you easily push it down inside them and nobody will notice what you’re wearing.
A really good moneybelt, and not a bad price for one either. Very good product.
