Abstract
A system assigns a credit limit to an account for a credit card of a card holder based on whether the card holder poses an acceptable risk. The system activates an account for the credit card, assigns an initial credit limit well below a tolerance level to the account, develops credit history data based on account activity during predetermined short intervals of time, evaluates the credit history data after each of the predetermined short time intervals, and determines whether to increase the credit limit of the account based on the evaluated credit history.
