  • Publication number: 20140180887
    Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus for managing personal accounts. The apparatus comprises a database (C), a database-updating section (D). The a database (C) stores at least personal IDs allocated to individuals, respectively, payment data associated with each personal ID, receipt data associated with each personal ID, and rank data associated with each personal ID. The database updating section (D) determines a rank for each personal ID, from the payment data and the receipt data, and records the rank as the rank data. The apparatus reliably determines the state of the financial transaction of each client, i.e., the receipt data and payment data about the transaction, correctly evaluates the contribution of the client, and provides special services to the client, by setting interests and charges that are as favorable as possible to the client.

  • Publication number: 20140114821
    Abstract: A transaction information consolidating apparatus is disclosed which consolidates cash flow information associated with as many as several hundred thousand transactions per day into data which can be dealt with by a risk management system. A transaction information consolidating apparatus (1) acquires transaction information from a transaction information storage apparatus (2). On the basis of the acquired transaction information, the transaction information consolidating apparatus (1) produces expanded records indicating amounts of movements of money. The transaction information consolidating apparatus (1) then groups the expanded records in accordance with a predetermined consolidation rule, produces a consolidated record from a plurality of expanded records of each group, and supplies consolidated data including a set of expanded records to a risk management system (3).

  • Patent number: 7039605
    Abstract: Using a preset, temporary ID, a user accesses an on-line shop where he is not registered. When the user buys a commodity, the on-line shop sends order data to a money gate. In response to a request from the money gate, a mall-operating company where the user is registered sends the money gate information necessary for settlement such as a credit number. The money gate generates final order data by combining the order data and the information necessary for settlement. Settlement processing with a card company is performed by using the final order data.
