Abstract
An accessible card can provide access to an account. The account card can include sides and an identification embossing for providing access to an account. The sides can be connected to form a shape. The identification embossing can be associated with at least one side of the sides. The at least one side associated with the identification embossing can include a first thickness and an arrangement of one or more tactile features. The first thickness can be different than a second thickness associated with other sides of the sides. The arrangement may indicate, via tactile interaction, an identification of the account associated with the account card or a card type of the account card.
Claims18
An account card comprising:
- a plurality of sides that are connected to form a shape, the plurality of sides comprising four edges that connect to form the shape;
- and
- an identification embossing for providing access to an account, the identification embossing associated with at least one side of the plurality of sides, the identification embossing located adjacent to a connection between at least two edges of the four edges, wherein:
- the at least one side of the plurality of sides that is associated with the identification embossing including:
- a first thickness that is different than a second thickness associated with other sides of the plurality of sides;
- an arrangement of one or more tactile features configured to indicate, via tactile interaction, an identification of the account associated with the account card or a card type of the account card;
- and
- a particular side of the plurality of sides comprises a textured directional feature that is configured to indicate, in response to tactile interaction from an entity, an orientation of the account card, the particular side different than the at least one side.

- the at least one side of the second plurality of sides that is associated with the second identification embossing including (i) a third thickness that is different than a fourth thickness associated with other sides of the second plurality of sides and (ii) a second arrangement of one or more tactile features configured to indicate, via tactile interaction, an identification of the second account associated with the second account card or a card type of the second account card;
- and
- a second particular side of the second plurality of sides comprises a second textured directional feature that is configured to indicate, in response to tactile interaction from an entity, a second orientation of the second account card, the second particular side different than the at least one side of the second plurality of sides.
