Sign Up: This function sheet allows new members to join TCI using their personal information and Thumb Print Identity. While only one account is allowed per person, you may link your account to one or more business, partner or family groupings using "Manage Your Account". All fields in the Sign Up sheet must be completed. We may ask you for additional information. You must also visit one of our ID stations to provide us a sample of your thumbprint, and other identifying information. Upon acceptance of your application, we will inform you where and how to provide your additional Thumb Card profile information. You only need register with us ONCE in a lifetime. From then on, you can use your Thumb Card for any or all transactions. It is never subject to revocation and there are no renewal fees for membership. All information provided to TCI is kept in an encrypted electronic vault system where it simply can not be retrieved for any purpose other than allowing you to validate a buy or sale transaction, or to provide you the management and confirmation functions here. No other access is available to anyone. You can rest assured that your Thumbcard ID is perfectly confidential and anonymous. There is currently no charge for membership.

Manage Your Account: This function sheet allows members to add credit or bank cards, bank accounts, obtain reports, prioritize, assign code names to accounts, and set restrictions, group payments, and payment attributes, along with other functions associated with your account. There is currently no charge for Managing your Account. You may also report any critical events, and keep your profile history updated with this feature.

Confirm Major Purchase: This function will work only at locations you previously designated, and requires additional security confirmation with respect to the purchases, provided by the Store or Vendor. Among features provided here are the ability to confirm payment to a vendor for a major purchase. No payment will be rendered if "additional confirmation required" is a feature of the seller's offer and sale. Please consult with the seller regarding this payment option. You may also confirm automatic payments you scheduled with TCI to any recipient, here, on a periodic basis of your choosing. You are also able to confirm Third Party Shipping for a specific purchase here, as part of the "additional confirmation required" feature. Finally, you will be able to confirm a multi-party purchase (Group Thumbcard) here of any kind. There may be a charge for certain activities here, along with the charge assessed by a seller for anything you purchase and agree to pay for. Certain cancellation activities may have a small charge associated with them, depending upon type.

Shop Online: This is a proprietary feature of Thumb Card. The Shop Online feature is broken down into

SHOP OUR MERCHANTS: which provides our TCI Merchant Catalog Online for you to browse. Here a growing catalog of merchants and wares are available, ready and online for use with your Thumbcard Payment Account.

SHOP ANYWHERE: which provides anonymous proxy shopping using only your Thumb Card for payment wherever credit cards are accepted or Thumbcard TX Enabled sites exist. A TX site is one which has a direct interface to a Thumbcard International clearing agent. At such stores and sites, you will see a tiny TCI logo in the upper right hand corner of the page while shopping, at all times.
