Methods and Systems for Managing Cardholder Spending

摘要

Methods and systems for managing cardholder spending on a transaction card account employ a processor coupled to memory and other computer hardware and software components to receive a monthly spending budget for a cardholder, track expenditures of the cardholder in a current month against the monthly spending budget, and adjust the monthly spending budget for a succeeding month when expenditures exceed a credit limit of the cardholder. The adjustment may be made according to an order of a predetermined prioritization of a plurality of budget categories or by a proportional amount in each of the plurality of budget categories in the absence of a predetermined prioritization.
