Publication number: 20240232896Abstract: Disclosed herein are aspects for splitting a recurring charge. An example method aspect begins by receiving transaction information specifying a transaction. The method continues by determining whether the transaction is recurring. When the transaction is determined to be recurring, the method creates a split protocol for the transaction based on an input from a user interface of a first user device. The split protocol specifies how to split the transaction with one or more other parties. The method then continues with several operations for each of the respective one or more other parties. Based on the split protocol, the method generates a split request specifying a portion of the transaction the respective other party should pay. The method then sends the split request to a second user device corresponding to the respective other party. The method can repeat the generating and sending steps for subsequent recurrences of the transaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2023Publication date: July 11, 2024Applicant: American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc.Inventors: Ian T.
