Abstract

See full text

A system and method for creating a multi-use card having an associated bank account and telephone calling account. The method typically includes reading a user's bank card at an automated teller machine. Typically, the bank card is associated with a preexisting bank account. The method further includes prompting the user, at the automated teller machine, to convert the bank card into a multi-use banking/telephone calling card that is associated both with the preexisting bank account and with a to-be-created telephone calling account. The method further includes, in response to a request by the user, creating a telephone calling account linked to the bank card, such that the bank card is converted into a multi-use banking/telephone calling card that is associated both with the preexisting bank account and with the newly created telephone calling account.
