  • Patent number: 8606706
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for conducting comprehensive payment processing of all payment requests regardless of the payment request channel. Payment requests are transformed from the initial format to a standardized format, which allows for the occurrence of further comprehensive payment processing, referred to herein as payment hub processing. Once the payment request has undergone necessary payment hub processing, the request undergoes further transformation/conversion from the standardized format to a target clearing format. In one embodiment of the invention, the processing hub provides for determining the clearing or remittance channel based on payment routing rules, which may take into account cost, time, risk and any other payment factors.

  • Patent number: 8301565
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide the customer of a correspondent bank, having a pre-arranged relationship with an ATM bank to use the ATM bank's ATM network, with the opportunity to deposit funds via check or cash using the ATM bank's ATM network. A correspondent bank profile and/or individual customer profiles are created and stored on the ATMs of the ATM bank and/or the backend system. The correspondent bank customer initiates a transaction with an ATM on the ATM network, is authenticated, and the ATM determines the customer is a customer of the correspondent bank. Based thereon, the ATM offers the customer the option to perform a deposit transaction. The ATM bank clears the deposited funds and sends transaction information to the correspondent bank including MICR data, check image, and transaction information. The transaction is settled through a demand deposit account owned by the correspondent bank and maintained by the ATM bank.

  • Patent number: 8219499
    Abstract: The business review application provides a customer with a bank-hosted business review platform that provides an advertising and feedback service for the bank's business customers and provides a rating, review, feedback, and recommendation service for the bank's individual and business customers. Thus, the bank's customers can rate and review the bank's business customers. The bank uses its authentication systems used by its customers to access online banking services to authenticate the identity of the customer creating a business review in the business review platform. In some embodiments, the business review application only permits its customers to make one review of a business within a certain period of time or one review after a transaction with that business shows up in the customer's transaction information maintained by the bank. In this way, the bank can host a review platform that is much more accurate and trust-worthy than traditional business review platforms.

  • Publication number: 20100211499
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for optimizing routing of financial payments by determining routing on a per-payment transaction basis based on one or more routing rules. The routing rules take into account payment factors such as, but not limited to, cost of payment processing, time for payment processing, risk/quality of payment processing, remittance requirements and/or the destination of the payment. From the payor or payee perspective, payor-defined or payee-defined payment attributes associated with these or other payment factors can be predefined in a payor/payee profile or dynamically defined proximate to the time at which the payment request is initiated. In this regard, present embodiments serve to create a payment process that is beneficial, in terms of cost, timeliness, quality and the like, to both the payor, the payee and financial institution handling payment processing.

  • Patent number: 7630518
    Abstract: An image processing system requires that both a data file and an image file are received before the item is sent to a posting system. When a data file including an image is received, the system determines if the image was properly and timely received. If the file was properly received, the file is interpreted to ascertain whether the image has been previously tested and passed image quality analysis or if it requires testing by the receiving institution. If testing is required the image is sent through image quality analysis (IQA) to determine if the image meets an acceptable quality standard. If the image passes IQA, it is passed to the institution's posting process. If the image does not pass IQA and the failure is not overridden, the item is returned to the presenting institution. The system prevents the posting of the transaction and corresponding image until a quality image is received and approved.
