Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of the present invention include methods, program product and systems for card and bank product management. An embodiment of a method of advancing funds to a banking customer, for example, includes establishing a line of credit with a bank through an on-line access interface with the bank, determining whether access to funds through the line of credit should occur for a customer transaction and providing one or more preselected increments of funds for the customer transaction. A cumulative amount of the one or more preselected increments, for example, can be less than a total available line of credit for a customer having an established line of credit with the bank. The method further includes decrementing the total available line of credit by the cumulative amount of the one or more preselected increments provided for the customer transaction and a predetermined fee amount for each preselected increment of funds.
