This invention provides more than one function to the transaction card by utilising the back and front surfaces of the transaction card for informational content, and uses more than one magnetic stripe hidden underneath the surfaces. These magnetic stripes are readable b y existing transaction card readers and are identified by multiple indicia at or near the magnetic stripes' location. Each of the magnetic stripes contains electronic information pertaining to one of th e surfaces. The indicia indicates the magnetic stripe's location and informs the user that the information contained in that magnetic stripe corresponds to one of the surfaces. A separate indicia with text could be located next to the embossed lettering of the transaction card to instruct the user that the imprinted account number created from the embossed lettering should be modified to match the information on the reverse side of the embossed surface.
