Money Clip Vs. Wallet

When it comes to the Money Clip Vs. Wallet debate there’s a lot to consider. While money clips have come on leaps and bounds in the functionality they provide, wallets are still the dominant force when it comes to carrying all your cash and cards on a daily basis. Let’s take a closer look at what each has to offer and the reasons you may choose one over the other. 

The Stance for Money Clips

Money Clips originated, as the name suggests, as an effective way to carry loads of physical cash (or bills) at ease. But recently newer designs have been released into the market that allows for much more than just cash storage with many Money Clips also providing the capacity to also effectively carry debit/credit cards. The best example of this I can give you is the M-Clip Money Clip. This uses an innovative sliding mechanism that further maximizes the money clips small space and provides even easier access to your cash. The M-Clip is also one of the money clips that provide storage for cards along with cash – a win-win! 

As you’d probably already concluded yourself, money clips, at its heart, are best for people who carry large ‘wads’ of cash with them and very few credit/debit cards. This is something that traditional wallets just cant do effectively and if you try to stuff a wallet full of cash it’ll usually start to bulk out, get too large, and uncomfortable to carry. Money Clips, broadly speaking, also are a lot more streamlined, minimalist in size, and don’t take up as much room. This means storage in a front or back pocket is simple, with minimal bulk tailored for comfortable everyday carry experience. 

The Stance for Wallets

On the other hand. Wallets are simply better at acting as an all-around wallet. If you’re like most people you tend to carry more credit cards than cash and want a device that provides simple, yet effective, functionality for both. 

Wallets also come in a huge variety of different styles, materials, and designs that are better tailored to meet people’s specific needs. Need a compact wallet? You can find it. Need one to accommodate a passport or checkbook – that exists. The sheer variety of wallets available on the market is something that a money clip can never come close to and that’s a huge win in wallets court. A fine example of the range of wallets available, all from just one brand, is the Bellroy range. They offer everything you’d ever need from a wallet, with innovative features and quality in craftsmanship.
