Abstract:
The present invention provides a system and method for providing a flexible limit subsidiary account that may be issued by a Foreign Financial Institution. In particular, the present provides a system and method for allowing a parent to provide funds to a subsidiary and to control the spending of subsidiary or spending capacity. The card account may be issued at the request of the parent who may retain the ability to define, modify, and/or terminate the spending and/or debt accumulation limits for the subsidiary card account as well as other features as described in the attached disclosure. The system may be configured to provide the ability for parent to eliminate risks associated with fluctuations in currency exchange rates by committing to fixed automatic long-term charges at a fixed foreign exchange rate for a fixed term.
