A transaction card assembly and method for forming a transaction card
assembly. The transaction card assembly may include two or more
transaction cards that are each useable with different issuers. A first
transaction card may be useable only with a first issuer, and the second
transaction card may be useable with one or more entities other than the
first issuer. The transaction card assembly may be formed from a same
piece of material and may include one or more machine-readable features,
such as a barcode, magnetic strip or electronic device. The transaction
cards may meet ANSI and ISO specifications, e.g., after the cards are
separated from each other without the use of tools.
