Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of credit, debit and other account cards and devises a method and system for selecting one such card for a transaction. More specifically, the invention relates to a method and system of selecting a particular card from a plurality of cards represented by a single card.
  • Cards Credit Cards, Debit Cards, ATM Cards and other kinds of cards including smart cards are increasingly used to make purchases and are fast replacing conventional modes of payments such as currency notes and checks.
  • a person carries multiple cards on account of different facilities, features, rates and options offered by each card.
  • electronic modes of payments in recent years, even an infrequent user of cards maintains a substantial number of card accounts. It is not uncommon for a user to hold up to ten, twenty or even more cards.
  • a user may hold multiple credit cards as all credit cards are not always accepted by all merchants. Moreover, each card offers a different interest rate, billing cycle, payment due date and credit limit. In addition, each card has varying offers and promotional schemes linked to different vendors.
  • a card issued by a financial institution is prone to security risk as it carries the name of card holder, name of the issuer, account number, and other related account information. This information can easily be read and used by hackers for fraudulent uses and purchases.
  • Institutions that issue cards periodically advertise promotional offers and discounts at particular vendors. However, when a user carries more than one card it becomes difficult for him to keep track of all such offers and, more importantly, to recall the offers at the time of selecting a card for a particular transaction. For example, a user having three cards say A, B and C, while booking a flight ticket may use the card C without recalling that card A is offering a 30% discount on the same ticket purchase.
  • the application provides for a card selection system for transactions of a card owner and provides for a single card representing details of multiple card accounts held by the card owner.
