Not necessarily. They simply need to be able to balance their books at the end of the working day. They can issue a new customer a credit limit for immediate use - so long as they can balance any new 'withdrawal' by the end of the working day. Remember - you're unlikely to be their only customer. Existing customers that have borrowed on their own credit cards will be paing interest on their balances - so the company will always have the 'promise' of funds going back into their account to cover new accounts.
