I haven't carried a wallet in years. Although carrying a wallet -- or more likely a billfold or some such -- seems appropriate in the 1960s, it just feels old hat today and makes me wonder if Bond also has photos of his nieces and nephews, along with a condom for special occasions.
Only a money clip for you? I've found that I need a card case in addition to a money clip because I have too many things I use daily (credit card, debit card, metro card, ID, work ID, office keycard—the biggest thing of all, supermarket card, and other things)
A few cards in the back pocket and some cash elsewhere is all I need anymore.

A modern Bond would just use his iPhone, or better yet, his iWatch and have all those "cards" in digitized form.

I did a little research many moons ago into this topic and I settled on two scenarios. In the first, I decided Bond probably would have gotten his wallet (or as Fleming called it, his "notecase"), from Swaine Adeney Brigg, since Fleming used one of their document cases (from pics it looks like he used the one they call the Westminster Short Strap) when traveling (this may also be the reason EON used their briefcase in FRWL). It seems logical to assume he would have gotten his wallet from them as well. In the second scenario, I tend to believe today's Bond would probably use one from either Launer or Ettinger, since SAB does not seem to sell wallets anymore. Both companies hold royal warrants and Bond/Fleming seemed to always prefer brands that held warrants.
For those that use a wallet, there is the idea of carrying a "Muggers wallet" .
An old wallet with a few pounds in it along with some cancelled Cards or
cards that look like credit/bank cards. So if asked to hand over your wallet
You can hand this one, only losing a few bucks.

I think modern day Bond would probably get a customized wallet for his needs. If he really needed one. I'm not so sure he does. At least Daniel Craig's Bond tosses stuff around so much, I can't imagine him really needing a wallet. He had the clip in Casino Royale. Pierce Brosnan's Bond had the scene in Goldeneye when they emptied his pockets near the end. I don't think he had a wallet. But I haven't seen Goldeneye in a long time.

Okay. I wish I didn't need so many things daily.
