  • Publication number: 20180075529
    Abstract: A system and method for upgrading existing credit cards with additional lines of credit is disclosed.

One or more extra line of credit may be established for selected customers based on the determined level of risk associated with each customer. Each extra credit line may be exclusively associated with a selected set of vendors that have a partnership agreement with the credit card issuer. The credit card issuer may allow customers to select vendors to be associated with the extra credit line or may automatically choose vendors for selected customers.
