Abstract: A system for stable and streamlined transaction approval includes a rule management server and an authorizer server that operates independently of the rule management server. The rule management server is configured to receive a transaction rule associated with an account specified by a client entered through a portal generated by a graphical user interface. The server is further configured to identify data relevant to the transaction rule and transmit the transaction rule and the data identified to an authorizer server. The authorizer server is configured to receive transaction data related to a pending transaction of the credit card and apply the transaction rule to the transaction data and the data identified by the rule management server to determine whether to approve the pending transaction. The authorizer server operates independent of the rule management server and can be optimized to approve transactions quickly and operate in a stable condition.
