A server computer system comprises a communications module; a processor coupled with the communications module; and a memory coupled to the processor and storing processor-executable instructions which, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to analyze historical data transfers within one or more resource accounts to generate a data budget; receive a signal indicating a data transfer request; analyze the data transfer request and, based on the data budget, determine an affordability of the data transfer; responsive to determining that the data transfer is not affordable from one of the resource accounts, generate one or more recommendations to afford the data transfer; and send, via the communications module and to a computing device, a signal causing the computing device to display a notification that includes the one or more recommendations to afford the data transfer.
