Patent attributes
A communication system enabling a first wireless subscriber in need of an instant credit line to use a creditee module on a portable wireless communication device to request credit from a second subscriber that has available credit at a financial institution. The second subscriber uses a creditor module on their device to generate rules for the extension of a credit line guaranteed by the financial institution of the second subscriber. If the rules are met, a credit authorization code is generated by the system and forwarded to the creditee module of the first subscriber's device such that the code can be subsequently used to complete a transaction initiated by the first subscriber to pay a vendor. The vendor may then employ a vendor's module to access the issued credit as prescribed by the creditor module.
