  • Publication number: 20050246268
    Abstract: A funds transfer method in a communications system between two entity computers where, depending on the transaction, one is remitter computer and the other is a recevier computer. There is a systems server computer associated with an escrow account. Once a transaction has been agreed between the two computers, the systems server computer sets aside the funds in the escrow account, which funds are no longer available to the remitter computer which will often be operated by a buyer in the internet. Then the systems server computer issues two codes, namely, an initial initiation code and a funds release code respectively. The initiation code is sent to the receiver computer as confirmation of the availability of the funds in the escrow account.
