The disclosed card product may be a multi-layer body, of paper and/or plastic composition, which implements at least a plurality of security features (e.g., two or more) that are configured, in accordance with some embodiments, to visibly alter the appearance of the card product in the event of tampering by a fraudster. The implemented security features, individually and/or collectively, may serve to signal to retail staff and consumers that the card product has suffered tampering and, thus, the integrity of financial information pertaining to the card has been compromised.
