How to put money in a trifold wallet?

So you’ve bought or you’re thinking about buying a trifold wallet, but how do you put money into it properly? How best do you utilise the space in the wallet? Find out in our trifold wallet guide below.

What is a trifold wallet?

As the name suggests, a tri-fold wallet has 3 folds in it (it's split into thirds), in comparison to the bifold wallet that simply folds in half. A trifold wallet will usually have two large compartments to store cash, one large zipped compartment for spare change, multiple slots for cards of all types, and a semi-transparent compartment for a business card or treasured photo.

The trifold wallet will be able to store a lot more cash and cards than a traditional bifold wallet, and that's why it's important to make sure that your wallet is made from a quality material such as leather. It should also have a secure button fastening to ensure it doesn't pop open easily.

Matching Your Wallet and Style

Due to the bulky nature of a trifold wallet you should consider how it will look when it's in your pocket. If you're unused to having a wallet that sticks out in your trousers as much, you may be surprised how thick a fully packed trifold wallet can be.
