  • Patent number: 9817679
    Abstract: A technique for collecting financial information is described. During this technique, a customer request to a financial institution to access a financial-software application is used to initiate an exchange of financial information between the financial institution and a provider of the financial-software application. In particular, in response to the forwarded customer request, the provider of the financial-software application may request, and then receive, financial information associated with the customer's account from the financial institution. Subsequently, the provider of the financial-software application may provide a document that facilitates access to the financial-software application to the customer. This document may include at least some of the received financial information.

  • Patent number: 9563718
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention provide a system that facilitates interactivity during automated web-site accesses. During operation, the system executes a script which automatically accesses one or more websites. While executing the script, the system retrieves user-specific data associated with a user. The system then uses the user-specific data to access a target website. While accessing the target website, the system receives an interactivity request which the system presents to the user. The system then receives a response to the interactivity request from the user, and forwards the response to the website.
