A method for generating a child product that is linked to a core account. A payment processing platform receives a user selection of control parameters that define use restrictions for the child product and the core account that provides financial backing for the child product. The child product is generated and may be used for payment transactions within the use restrictions defined by the control parameters. The child product is delivered to a recipient as a physical card or as a virtual card or both as a physical card and a virtual card. Advantageously, the financial institution needs to modify its legacy payment processing infrastructure minimally in order to process payment transactions made using the child product. From a user perspective, child products protect consumers from fraud or identity theft and limit a customer's exposure when child products are lost or stolen.
