Providing for a mobile communication device (MCD) credit account and
credit transactions by way of such an MCD is described herein. As an
example, a credit account sponsored by a financial or commercial entity
can be associated with a unique ID of an MCD. The MCD can interface with
another electronic device and initiate credit transactions, such as
commercial purchases, credit transfers, currency conversions, and the
like, via the interface. Further, rules provided by the sponsoring entity
can guide such transactions, enforcing credit limits, for instance. A
management component can then synchronize transactions conducted by the
device with a server of a financial institution over a remote
communication interface, such as the Internet or a cellular/mobile
communication network. Accordingly, a mobile device can replace a
traditional credit card in transacting credit business.
