Multiple-component data package

The present invention relates to improvements in a data package assembly, especially applicable to various types of prepaid debit cards associated with a prepaid account. The account is debited as the consumer uses the account to purchase services such as telephone services, or purchase goods, withdraw cash, etc. A data package assembly includes at least one data card having a first substrate with opposite faces, and indicia correlated with a prepaid account. A package has a second substrate separate from the first substrate, the data card being detachably connected to the second substrate. Personal identifying indicia correlated with the account are concealed by the package. In addition, first account verification indicia on the card, and second account verification indicia on the package, both different from the personal identifying indicia and both correlated with the same account, are visibly exposed, the package including an aperture visibly exposing the first account verification indicia.
