Lost and Found + Location QR Codes for Wallets and Credit Cards
Losing your wallet may mean parting with serious sums of money, credit cards, important personal documents, and more. Assuming you have already applied a QR tag to it, though, rest assured that if someone finds and scans it, it will make its way back to you shortly. Imagine, instead of never even knowing what happened to your wallet and losing hope to ever get it back, you’ll just get a message from the finder reading “ Hello, I found your wallet. Let’s arrange a meet so I can give it back to you. ” Sounds ideal, right? Well, the process is as simple as it seems, and once you receive this type of message, you just have to chat with the finder, agree on a meet-up, and retrieve your lost wallet.
A QUICK SETUP
CHECK YOUR WALLET TO FIND THE BEST-SUITED PLACEMENT AREA
The QR tag is small, so it shouldn’t be a problem to find a spot where it fits. Apply it carefully so it’s fully adhered and won’t fall off.
SCAN IT AND INPUT THE CORRECT INFORMATION
In order for the finder to be able to contact you in the future, you have to leave some base-level contact data, like a phone number or email address. If you want, you can change the input information or hide it at any moment . Simply scan to activate and input this info when prompted.
NOW THERE IS A DIGITAL LIFELINE BETWEEN THE QR TAG, YOU, AND THE FINDER
If you ever lose your wallet, the QR code ensures that, once it’s found and scanned, you will be notified and have a way to arrange a meeting so you can get it back.
SCHEDULE A MEETING TO GET YOUR WALLET BACK
Once the finder scans the QR code, you’ll have the option to start chatting with the finder immediately. Simply agree on a meet-up location/time. You’ll have your wallet back in no time.
But what makes the abTag codes so special?
To put it briefly, our QR codes are specifically designed to help bridge the gap between you, the original owner, and whoever finds your lost item. This significantly increases the chance that a safe return actually happens.
The feature of co-ownership is also a must for any busy individual, as well as anyone who wants to be sure that the finder can reach someone when they scan the QR code. The co-owner is someone who can chat with the finder in case the primary item owner is unavailable when it’s found. It’s usually a person you trust, like a partner or a close family member, if they agree.
Another special thing about abTags is that they provide complete control over what data gets shared with the finder. You can easily change, update, or hide it. You don’t have to worry. Any information you provide is safe, secure, and completely private . It only gets shown to the finder if you deliberately allow it, usually to speed up the retrieval procedure.
Your wallet is now protected. When might the QR code help?
- You dropped your wallet during a taxi ride. Sometimes, when you’re focused on making a ride payment and hopping out of a taxi, you can drop or even forget your wallet in the vehicle. It’s possible that the driver will notice right away and notify you, but often, no one will notice that it has been misplaced until the end of the day when the driver checks around the car for left-behind possessions. Situations like this are exactly what abTag QR codes are made for. The driver can scan the code and speak with you privately, ensuring you get your wallet back safely.
- You lost your wallet while traveling abroad. Wallets are often used to carry important documents like visas, IDs, and passports, so it’s of utmost importance that you don’t lose them, especially abroad. If you lose a wallet while traveling and a local finds it, the language barrier doesn’t have to be such an issue, thanks to the fact that incoming messages about your abTag scan will be translated. This makes retrieving your wallet abroad almost as easy as it is in your home country.
- You forgot your wallet on a counter after payment. Let’s say you accidentally leave your wallet behind on a store counter, and you leave without noticing. A QR code could be a signal for both the cashier and the establishment’s staff to contact you and return it. You’ll likely get a message within the day, although it sometimes takes more time for other people to notice the forgotten wallet and take action.
- You leave your Bluetooth speaker behind at a party or event. Organizing sound and music in public events, especially crowded ones, can be quite tricky. Even looking after one Bluetooth speaker can be anxiety-inducing when you have a big agenda, leaving you stressed about getting it back home with you at the end of the event. Luckily, even if you do misplace or lose your speaker, assuming someone is around to see the unattended device and scan its abTag, you can rest assured that the finder has a way to contact you.
- You left your wallet behind at an event or big meeting (sports events, concerts, conferences, etc.). People often carry wallets VAR_46_with_them_to_big_even ts, particularly the ones that require you to show an ID, as well as events where you buy food, drinks, etc. You can’t go wrong with extra safety in case you lose your wallet. A QR code basically guarantees that someone will notice your lost wallet, scan the tag, and contact you. In this scenario, the retrieval somewhat relies on the will of the finder to talk to you and scan it in the first place, but it’s still better than nothing and will give you more peace of mind.
- You lose your wallet on public transport. This is one of the more common ways to lose a wallet. People frequently lose belongings inside the metro, on buses, and while entering/exiting trains. Again, the staff at transit stations will most likely notice your left-behind wallet the same day you lost it, and if they do, they can swiftly contact you by scanning it. Then, you can talk to the finder and find out how and when you can get your wallet back.
Wallets stay protected with abTag QR Codes, even if they’re lost.
- The QR code doesn’t rely on an Internet connection from you – just the finder. The tag is autonomous in the sense that it doesn’t require anything to keep it working if you lose your wallet. Even if you lost it somewhere remote with no Internet connection, the finder can simply take the wallet to the nearest area with stable WiFi, scan, and contact you from there.
- If any questions pop up, ask us! The technical support team on our website is always open to questions and problem-solving requests.
- Instant connection and communication with the finder. Don’t wait. Act! The moment someone finds your wallet and scans your personal abTag code, chat with them, provide additional contact information if needed, and resolve the issue quickly and stress-free.
- Co-owners can help you in case you’re unavailable. If you aren’t sure about whether you will be able to speak with the finder when your wallet is found, simply use our co-ownership feature .
- Absolute privacy, no exceptions. You control your data; modify or hide it whenever you want.
