  • Patent number: 11688009
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to automated enablement of deferred physical delivery of an asset, for which physical delivery is called for in a bilateral contract, by automatically settling the bilateral contract among the parties thereto with positions in specifically tailored futures contracts with a defined later delivery date and, based thereon, extinguishing the bilateral contract requirement for physical delivery. This electronic substitution of equivalent futures positions for both parties in place of the physical delivery requirement, the delivery and payment obligations are bifurcated enabling either party to continue, unpenalized, with their respective obligation irrespective of the other party's actions, enabling the resultant positions available for offsetting/netting, so as to readily exit a position or utilize it to reduce monetary requirements, e.g.

  • Patent number: 11676154
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a predictive contextual transaction scoring system receives transaction review data associated with person-to-person transactions from a marketplace, the transaction review data including feedback information relating to the person-to-person transaction. The system identifies contextual characteristics of the person-to-person transactions by analyzing the feedback information related to the person-to-person transactions. The system pairs a first party requesting a service to a second party providing the requested service by matching a contextual characteristic of the first party to a contextual characteristic of the second party. The system also predicts a transaction score for a new person-to-person transaction involving the first party and the second party, and provides the predicted transaction score to the marketplace to facilitate pairing of the first party requesting the service.

  • Patent number: 11663601
    Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein describe a generic transaction card that generates an account number based on a biometric identifier of a user. Multiple users may use the generic transaction card to transact. For example, a first user may provide a first biometric identifier to the generic transaction card, which may generate a first account number associated with the first user. The first user may then use the generic transaction card to transact. Similarly, a second user may provide a second biometric identifier to the same generic transaction card, which may generate a second account number associated with the second user. The second user may then use the same generic transaction card to make purchases charged to the second user's account.

  • Patent number: 11657451
    Abstract: A programmed computer-implemented method allows enterprises to pay transactions using a virtual credit card at the time of an approved purchase order. The approach maintains corporate controls relating to requisitions and purchase orders, eliminates the need for electronic invoicing, and automates the accounting and reconciliation of virtual credit card charges. For example, a particular line item in a card statement, representing a particular charge event, is automatically reconciled to the correct purchase order. For another example, each charge represented in a card statement can be associated with the supplier that is identified in a corresponding PO. Therefore, a computer graphical user interface (GUI) can show vendor identification at any time, whereas most buyers are not able to see the true vendor in spend data on a credit card charge, as the vendor is typically just represented as the issuing bank.

  • Patent number: 11657450
    Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for interfacing a computing system to a human user. For example, a computing system may provide a graphical user interface at a display of a user computing device. The user interface may include a positive financial profile indicator at a first position on the display; a negative financial profile indicator at a second position on the display opposite the positive financial profile indicator; and a user financial profile indicator describing a user, the user financial profile indicator positioned between the positive financial profile indicator and the negative financial profile indicator. The computing system may receive user transaction data describing a financial transaction. The computing system may determine that the financial transaction worsens a financial profile of the user. The computing system may also modify the user interface to orient the user financial profile indicator towards the negative financial profile indicator.
