Abstract
A method and system is described herein to summarize and present charge-card transactions through one or more maps linked to charge-card billing statements. In addition to a conventional tabular transaction list, the invented system provides charge-card transaction maps, which display the physical location of points-of-charges geo-referenced to a map. Transactions are listed individually and/or are summarized by the number of transactions, the timing of transactions, the amount of transactions, the transactions categories, local-area and none-local-area transactions, sensitive transactions, geographic unit, or any combination thereof. The method and system integrates database and geographic information system technology with a rule system.
