Apparatus, system and method for pre-authorizing international use of a credit card using an electronic card case

A system comprising:

• an electronic card case that includes a biometric verification module in communication with a processor module configured for validating a payment card holder's biometric sample by comparing the biometric sample with the biometric identifier stored thereon;
• a locator module in communication with the at least one processor module, both positioned within the electronic card case, and wherein the locator module is enabled for determining geographical location of at least one electronic payment card, determined by geographical location of the electronic credit card case;
• the at least one processor module configured for transforming the geographical location into preauthorized location information for the selected at least one electronic payment card;
• at least one card slot disposed within the electronic card case;
• and
• a card release module that receives a selection of at least one electronic payment card and releases the selected at least one electronic payment card through the at least one card slot upon validation of the at least one biometric sample, triggering the electronic card case's communication module for transmitting the preauthorized location information for a proposed payment card transaction, authorizing use before the electronic payment card is read for payment for the card transaction.
