1. A transaction card, comprising:
a first outer layer and a second outer layer;
a middle layer disposed between the first outer layer and the second outer layer, the middle layer comprising a plate, a base, and a spring biasing the plate to a first position;
a first graphic disposed on an outer surface of the second outer layer;
a second graphic disposed on a surface of the middle layer, the first graphic and the second graphic selectively aligning to display sensitive information relating to a user account; and
a privacy feature disposed in the second outer layer, the privacy feature obfuscating the second graphic when the plate is in the first position,
wherein moving the plate from the first position to a second position aligns the first graphic and the second graphic and displays the sensitive information.
