  • Methods and systems for production of transaction cards
    Patent number: 6877657
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for producing transaction cards. A reference number is assigned to each of the cards, which are fabricated in accordance with a specification. Usually the specification is provided externally from a card issuer that wishes to have the cards fabricated for distribution. After fabrication, the reference number assigned to each of the cards is compared with a database to identify any duplication. The identity of a responsible operator may be recorded during one or more stages during fabrication and/or as part of the process of comparing with previously assigned numbers.
