  • Patent number: 11946781
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a base, a sliding assembly slideably coupled to the base, and a sensor assembly coupled to the sliding assembly. The sliding assembly may moveably support a control panel and the sensor assembly may sense positions of the sliding assembly relative to the base. The sensor assembly may include a first sensor to sense that the sliding assembly is in a first position relative to the base, and a second sensor to sense that the sliding assembly is in a second position relative to the base. A sensed state of the first sensor and a sensed state of the second sensor may be used to determine that the sliding assembly is in a third position relative to the base.

  • Publication number: 20140330707
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include systems, computer program products, and associated computer-implemented methods of advancing loan proceeds on prepaid cards. Example embodiments include generating a common interface for loan information when proceeds from the loan are destined for a prepaid card account. As understood by those skilled in the art, the common interface of the embodiments of the present invention is agnostic to the prepaid card processor. Example embodiments include determining the prepaid card processor associated with the prepaid card account from the loan information provided through the common interface and invoking the prepaid processor as one of the plurality of preselected prepaid processors available to post the loan proceeds to the prepaid card account.

  • Publication number: 20140324675
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include methods, program product and systems for card and bank product management. An embodiment of a method of advancing funds to a banking customer, for example, includes establishing a line of credit with a bank through an on-line access interface with the bank, determining whether access to funds through the line of credit should occur for a customer transaction and providing one or more preselected increments of funds for the customer transaction. A cumulative amount of the one or more preselected increments, for example, can be less than a total available line of credit for a customer having an established line of credit with the bank. The method further includes decrementing the total available line of credit by the cumulative amount of the one or more preselected increments provided for the customer transaction and a predetermined fee amount for each preselected increment of funds.

  • Patent number: 8788414
    Abstract: A financial institution computer maintains one or more lists of account identifiers for accounts enrolled in a prioritized payment program and receives an automatic deposit associated with an account identifier for a first account enrolled in the prioritized payment program. The prioritized payment program includes pre-authorization of certain payment requests by select creditors. The financial institution computer generates prioritized payments from the first account to select creditors, responsive to one or more unfilled pre-authorized payment requests by the select creditors and then generates a sweep payment from the first account to an associated second account at a second financial institution, responsive to the incoming automatic deposit. A value for the sweep payment is a value of the automatic deposit minus a value of the one or more prioritized payments. The second account can be, for example, a demand deposit account or a prepaid card account.

  • Patent number: 8589295
    Abstract: A financial institution computer maintains a list of account identifiers for accounts enrolled in a prioritized payment program including pre-authorization of certain payment requests by select creditors. The computer estimates a value of prioritized payments and authorizes a sweep payment to the customer account from a stand-in account at a payroll processor, so that the estimated value is held back in the stand-in account. The financial institution computer then receives an incoming ACH file, including an automatic deposit destined for the customer account. The computer generates an outgoing ACH file with both an entry for an automatic deposit destined for the customer account and an entry for a pre-authorized prioritized payment to a select creditor, so that the automatic deposit is credited and relatively instantaneously any prioritized payment is debited from the customer account. The customer account can be, for example, a demand deposit account or a prepaid card account.

  • Patent number: 8392330
    Abstract: A financial institution computer maintains one or more lists of account identifiers for accounts enrolled in a prioritized payment program including pre-authorization of certain payment requests by select creditors. The computer estimates a value of one or more prioritized payments associated with a first account and authorizes a first sweep payment to a second account at a second financial institution from a third stand-in account at a payroll processor, so that the estimated value is held back in the stand-in account. Then the computer receives an automatic deposit associated with an account identifier for a first account. The financial institution computer generates prioritized payments from the first account to select creditors and generates a second sweep payment, if necessary, from the first account to the second account, responsive to the incoming automatic deposit. The second account can be, for example, a demand deposit account or a prepaid card account.
