A limited use temporary credit account is disclosed. The method includes displaying, on a display of a mobile device, a temporary credit account, the temporary credit account correlated with a newly approved non-integrated credit account, the temporary credit account including: a temporary account number; a temporary expiration date; and a temporary security code. Incorporating a time constraint into the temporary credit account displayed on the mobile device, the time constraint limiting an amount of time the temporary credit account is displayed on the mobile device and limiting an amount of time the temporary credit account is available for making a purchase. Integrating a credit limit reduction into the temporary credit account displayed on the mobile device, the credit limit reduction reducing an available credit on the temporary credit account to an amount less than a credit available on the newly approved non-integrated credit account.
