A waterproof wallet and pouch combination adapted for use by an individual wherein the pouch can be securely worn around the wrist, with the wallet secured in the pouch in a substantially waterproof manner. The pouch is secured to the wrist by means of two straps which pass through rings on one side of the pouch and are secured in position by hook and loop type fasteners. When the back of the pouch is secured to the front of the pouch by hook and loop type fasteners, a section of the front of the pouch is folded back onto itself. The wallet contains a note compartment which runs the length of the wallet, and is divided into three sections along its length and is folded with one of the end sections being folded onto the middle section, and placed in the pouch.
