[0079] <3 operations> A series of processes performed by the credit card issuance and management system 1 in the first embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG.

[0080] FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of a flow of processing for credit examination by the credit card issuance management system 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0081] As pre-processing for step S551, which will be described later, in step S550, the control unit 203 of the server 20 registers the user's account information in advance in the storage unit 202. Specifically, the account information acquisition module 2035 constituting the control unit 203 of the server 20 controls the process of acquiring information about the user's bank account, etc., from the user who uses the credit card issuance management system 1. Here, the information about the user's bank account includes, for example, the following: Name of financial institution Financial institution branch name Financial institution account type - User deposit and withdrawal history - User's account balance · Source and destination of user deposits and withdrawals Here, the control unit 203 may obtain various information regarding the user's bank account from software, applications, programs, etc. that provide associated accounting services, or from applications, etc. provided by each financial institution.

[0082] In step S501, the control unit 180 of the terminal device 10 accepts an application for a credit card from a user. Specifically, for example, the control unit 180 accepts the application by displaying a screen for applying for a credit card on the display 150 or the like and accepting an input operation from the user. In one aspect, the control unit 180 may accept bank account information, etc. from the user when accepting the application for the credit card.

[0083] In step S551, the control unit 203 of the server 20 acquires the user's account information. Specifically, the account information acquisition module 2035 constituting the control unit 203 of the server 20 acquires information necessary for credit screening from information related to the user's bank account registered in the storage unit 202. For example, the account information acquisition module 2035 acquires the following information as the user's account information: - User deposit and withdrawal history for a given period - Changes in the user's account balance over a given period · Source and destination of user deposits and withdrawals In one aspect, the server 20 may obtain information related to the user's account from software, applications, programs, etc. that provide associated accounting services, etc., rather than the user's account information pre-stored in a storage unit.

[0084] In step S552, the control unit 203 of the server 20 performs a credit check for issuing a credit card based on the acquired account information. Specifically, the credit check execution module 2036 constituting the control unit 203 of the server 20 performs a credit check on the user based on a predetermined index, based on the user's account information received from the account information acquisition module 2035. The predetermined index is, for example, a standard balance in the user's account information, and the server 20 may calculate the standard balance based on a statistical value based on the balance transition in the user's account information immediately before the credit check is performed, and perform the credit check based on the calculated standard balance. In one aspect, the server 20 may use the trained model to perform a credit check on a user. Specifically, the server 20 may use a decision tree analysis (CHAID, CART, C5.0, etc.) to perform a credit check on a user. This allows financial institutions, corporations, etc. that issue credit cards to properly conduct credit checks on users.

[0085] In step S553, the control unit 203 of the server 20 sets a credit card limit based on the results of the credit check. Specifically, the credit check execution module 2036 constituting the control unit 203 of the server 20 determines a predetermined credit category based on an index representing the stability of the past cash balance in the user's account information, and multiplies the standard balance calculated by the credit check execution module 2036 by a ratio determined for each credit category, thereby setting the credit card limit. This allows financial institutions that issue credit cards to set appropriate credit limits for users.

[0086] In step S502, the control unit 180 of the terminal device 10 presents the results of the credit check, the set value of the credit limit, etc. to the user by displaying them on the display 150, for example.

[0087] In one aspect, the account information acquisition module 2035 may execute a process of acquiring the user's account information at a predetermined time interval after issuing a credit card. The following describes an example of a process of acquiring the user's account information at a predetermined time interval after issuing a credit card and executing a credit check. The predetermined time interval may be every time the user's account information changes, or may be any time interval designated by the user or the associated financial institution.

[0088] In step S554, the control unit 203 of the server 20 acquires account balance information at the financial institution from the user's account information.

[0089] In step S555, the control unit 203 of the server 20 reexamines the credit card usage and credit limit based on the acquired balance information.

[0090] In step S556, the control unit 203 of the server 20 resets the credit card limit based on the results of the credit reexamination.

[0091] In one aspect, the server 20 may execute a process to stop the user from using the credit card if the reference balance falls below a predetermined threshold as a result of re-performing a credit check. In addition, in some cases, if the user's credit card usage amount has already exceeded the reset limit following a reset of the credit limit, a process may be executed to essentially suspend the user's credit card usage.

[0092] In step S503, the control unit 180 of the terminal device 10 presents the results of the credit check, the set value of the credit limit, etc. to the user by displaying them on the display 150, for example.

[0093] In one aspect, the terminal device 10 may include a credit card application means for providing information on the financial needs of the user's business. The control unit 180 of the terminal device 10 may accept the credit card application when the user operates the credit card application means. At this time, the user's accounting information may be pre-registered in the memory unit 170, and the user's business capital needs may be determined based on the user's accounting information, and a means of applying for a credit card may be presented to the user.

[0094] In addition, in a certain aspect, the server 20 may include a usage control means for controlling the usage of a credit card. The control unit 203 of the server 20 may receive an application for credit card usage in response to the user's operation of the usage control means, and may notify the application that the credit card usage is permitted within the credit card's limit. For example, when a corporate credit card is used by a specific employee for a specific purpose (such as a business trip), the credit card may be permitted to be used only within that limit.

[0095] This allows financial institutions, corporations, etc. that issue credit cards to allow users to use their credit cards appropriately. Furthermore, by providing a usage control means, corporate users can control whether or not credit cards can be used, and real-time statement management (linking with accounting systems) becomes possible by receiving authorization messages.

[0096] Although the above description has been given in the form of exchanging various signals between the terminal device 10 and the server 20, the processing in the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, all of the processing described above may be processed by the control unit 180 of the terminal device 10. This allows users to consistently carry out credit checks and other procedures related to credit card issuance using their own terminals.

[0097] <4 Screen example> An example of a screen of the credit card issuance management system 1 will be described below with reference to FIG.

[0098] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed when the result of a credit check in the credit card issuance management system 1 is presented to the user.

[0099] As shown in FIG. 6, a user balance transition section 601 and an examination result display section 602 are displayed on the display 150 of the terminal device 10. In user balance trend 601, the control unit 180 of the terminal device 10 displays the trend of the balance of the user's bank account in the credit card issuance management system. Specifically, the control unit 180 displays the balance of the user's bank account in a predetermined manner in user balance trend 601. The predetermined manner includes, for example, the following. -Graph (bar, line, etc.) format Table / List Format This allows users to visually grasp the trends in their bank account balances.

[0100] The control unit 180 of the terminal device 10 displays the results of the user's credit examination and credit limit setting in the examination result display area 602. At this time, the control unit 180 may display the following information in the examination result display area 602: · Screening result (whether or not a credit card can be issued) - Credit card type (general, gold, platinum, etc.) Credit card limits Credit card application button - Buttons that allow the user to refer to other available services (apply for a loan, borrow money, etc.) When the control unit 180 receives an operation of pressing a credit card application button from the user, the control unit 180 may transmit a procedure instruction for issuing a credit card to the financial institution. This allows users to issue credit cards based on their own financial situation.

[0101] In one aspect, the server 20 may also display the screen to a user of the financial institution that issues the credit card, so that the user of the financial institution can issue an appropriate credit card based on the user's financial situation. In addition, even if the user is a newly registered corporation with no sales history, the system can be used to evaluate the company itself by assessing financial indicators, accounting information, business status, etc., and a credit card can be issued based on this evaluation.

[0102] <Summary> As described above, according to this embodiment, the server 20 registers information on the user's bank account in advance in the memory unit 202. When the server 20 accepts a credit card application from the user, it acquires various information required for credit screening from the information on the bank account registered in the memory unit 202. The server 20 performs a credit screening of the user's financial situation from the acquired various information. The server 20 sets a credit card limit based on the results of the credit screening. The terminal device 10 presents the results of the credit screening, etc. to the user. After issuing the credit card, the server 20 acquires the user's account information again at predetermined intervals and performs the credit screening and setting of the limit again. This allows the user to be properly issued a credit card and to use it.
