Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses and methods for aggregating temporal restricted values for accounts of a plurality of client entities. Apparatus embodiments include a memory circuit, a current value circuit, a client value circuit, a temporal value circuit, an aggregation circuit, and a net value circuit. In certain examples of the present disclosure, various activities are performed by the circuits. In one such example, the current value circuit determines current value data for accounts attributed to the entity ID. For each client entity ID, the client value circuit determines a participation condition for a value attributable to the client entity ID. The temporal value circuit identifies the participation condition indicates accounts of the client entity are temporally restricted and computes a temporal value corresponding the value. The aggregation circuit aggregates the computed temporal values for the client entity IDs to determine an aggregate temporal value.

Abstract: Electronic transaction data sets are processed for a multitude of disparate transactions using a plurality of autonomous networks. Circuitry receives and processes electronic transaction data to identify a user via information provided in the transaction data, and uses the identification to access profile information for selecting one of a plurality of networks. In this context, a user can be identified using one of a plurality of identification approaches (e.g., different account IDs), and such identification can be used for retrieving and using electronic profile data to select a transaction network for the user, which may be completely independent from the identification. Data is accordingly configured so that the selected network can receive and process the data, such as by configuring the data into a network-specific format and/or communicating the data using network-specific protocols. The configured data is transmitted to the selected network.
