A method for retrying processing of a controlled payment transaction includes: storing, in a first database, account profiles, each including data related to a transaction account including an account identifier and account controls; storing, in a second database, the account profiles stored in the first database, wherein data in each account profile in the second database corresponds to data in the corresponding account profile in the first database; receiving an authorization request for a transaction, the request including a specific account identifier and transaction data; determining an approval or denial of the transaction based on the account controls included in a profile in the second database including the specific account identifier and the transaction data if an attempt to determine approval or denial based on the account controls included in a corresponding account profile in the first database fails; and processing the payment transaction based on the determination.
