  • Patent number: 10467688
    Abstract: As banking transactions are processed by a bank teller, all of the relevant information with respect to the transaction (e.g., dollar amount) is captured in an electronic file. Each of the electronic files from the various branches of the bank are forwarded to a central back office processing center where the electronic files are combined into a single Transaction Repository. At the end of the branch day, all of the paper associated with the transactions is forwarded from the branches to the back office processing center. The paper transactions are imaged in the conventional manner and the Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) data is read from the paper. The present invention then automatically correlates the images and MICR data captured from the paper with the complete transaction record contained in the Transaction Repository. Most of the conventional back office processing can now be performed without the need to perform character recognition and without the need for excess human intervention.

  • Patent number: 10402816
    Abstract: A payment terminal such as a payment reader may receive and form electrical connections with an electronic transaction card such as an EMV chip card. The payment terminal may provide power to the electronic transaction card and initiate communications with the electronic transaction card. One or more records may be acquired from the electronic transaction card. Data objects may be extracted from those records and stored in a cache. Data objects may be needed to process transactions. If the data object is available from the data cache or is otherwise received prior to all records being received, transactions may be processed prior to the acquisition of all records from the electronic transaction card.

  • Patent number: 9984415
    Abstract: An insurance policy management computing system (201) stores a legally-binding insurance policy as a read-only document including the complete policy history. To facilitate revisions to the policy, the computing system (201) provides an opportunity (202) to revise an insurance policy and recalls (203) the currently legally-binding insurance policy. Since the legally-binding insurance policy is a read-only document, the computing system (201) uses the legally-binding policy to generate an editable version that is a complete copy of the legally-binding policy. Once the editable version of the insurance policy has been generated, the input revisions can be incorporated into the policy and then, the revised version of the insurance policy is saved as a read-only, now-current version of the insurance policy. The new legally-binding insurance policy has a new creation and effective dates of the various policy elements.

  • Patent number: 9946998
    Abstract: A system and method for initiating a deposit transaction, where the depositor is a banking customer located at a remote location, and where the item to be deposited is a financial instrument, such as a paper check from a third party, payable to the depositor. The enabling system features a Remote Customer Terminal (RCT) with certain input devices, connected to a bank system. An image and/or other data of the financial instrument are transmitted from the RCT to the Bank of First Deposit (BOFD) where the data may be processed by conversion to Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), via Electronic Check Presentment (ECP), or via check reconstruction. The deposit transaction can be accomplished without physical transfer of the financial instrument to or through the bank system. The system and method provide convenience and improved transaction processing speed compared to other deposit transactions of financial instruments.

  • Patent number: 9940668
    Abstract: Switching between data aggregator servers. A method for switching between data aggregator servers may include tracking a first financial account using a PFM server, receiving, at the PFM server, first account identification data and first account transaction data for the first financial account from a first data aggregator server over a network, detecting, at the PFM server, that the first account transaction data of the first data aggregator server has become unavailable to the PFM server over the network and that a second data aggregator server is currently available to the PFM server over the network, and in response to the detecting, switching, at the PFM server, from the first data aggregator server to a second data aggregator server, the second data aggregator server configured to send data for the same financial accounts with different data fields and/or with different data formats than the first data aggregator server.
