A credit card holder (or card holder wallet) is a compact case designed to carry essential cards (credit/debit cards, ID cards) and sometimes a small amount of cash. These wallets are minimalist—typically about 4 × 3 inches, so they slide easily into a pocket. They come in various materials including leather and may be minimalist sleeves or multi‑slot cases. Unlike a traditional wallet, a card holder is intended to hold many cards or only the most necessary cards and possibly few folded bills, making it sleek and lightweight.
