### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The foldable financial transaction card display of claim 2, where the financial transaction card is removably coupled to the first popup member such that when the first popup member is in its respective extended position and the second popup member is in its respective extended position, a pre-determined portion of the financial transaction card is in a specific position relative to a pre-determined portion of the second popup member.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The foldable financial transaction card display of claim 2, where the financial transaction card is removably coupled to the first popup member such that when the second popup member extends through the open region in the first popup member, a pre-determined portion of the financial transaction card is in a specific position relative to a pre-determined portion of the second popup member so as to create a synergistic effect between the pre-determined portions.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The foldable financial transaction card display of claim 2, configured such that the financial transaction card will be positioned between at least a portion of the second popup member and at least a portion of the first popup member when the second popup member is extended through the open region of the first popup member.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The foldable financial transaction card display of claim 2, configured such that the financial transaction card will be positioned between at least a portion of the first popup member and the folding member when the folding member is in the open position.

### Claim 7 (depends on 2)

The foldable financial transaction card display of claim 2, further comprising:
at least one display-supporting region coupled to the folding member and configured to support the display in a hanging position.

### Claim at position 8
