  • Patent number: 11257157
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to automated enablement of deferred physical delivery of an asset, for which physical delivery is called for in a bilateral contract, by automatically settling the bilateral contract among the parties thereto with positions in specifically tailored futures contracts with a defined later delivery date and, based thereon, extinguishing the bilateral contract requirement for physical delivery. This electronic substitution of equivalent futures positions for both parties in place of the physical delivery requirement, the delivery and payment obligations are bifurcated enabling either party to continue, unpenalized, with their respective obligation irrespective of the other party's actions, enabling the resultant positions available for offsetting/netting, so as to readily exit a position or utilize it to reduce monetary requirements, e.g.

  • Patent number: 11232445
    Abstract: Systems for dynamic authentication and event processing are provided. In some examples, a system may receive a request to process an event. In response to receiving the request to process the event, the system may transfer an amount of funds associated with the event from a first account of a first user who is a party to the event to a second account. The system may generate a profile for each user who is a party to the event. In some examples, the information in a profile may be anonymized. Users who are parties to the event may use the profiles to authenticate and authorize or cancel the event. In some examples, a notification may be transmitted to the system that the event is authorized for processing. The amount of funds may be transferred from the second account to a third account associated with a second user who is a party to the event. If the event is cancelled, the funds may be transferred from the second, temporary account to the first account.

  • Patent number: 11182850
    Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for interfacing a computing system to a human user. For example, a computing system may provide a graphical user interface at a display of a user computing device. The graphical user interface may include a positive financial profile indicator at a first position on the display; a negative financial profile indicator at a second position on the display opposite the positive financial profile indicator; and a user financial profile indicator describing a user, the user financial profile indicator positioned between the positive financial profile indicator and the negative financial profile indicator. The computing system may receive user transaction data describing a financial transaction of the user. The computing system may determine that the financial transaction worsens a financial profile of the user. The computing system may also modify the user interface to orient the user financial profile indicator towards the negative financial profile indicator.

  • Patent number: 11182849
    Abstract: A programmed computer-implemented method allows enterprises to pay transactions using a virtual credit card at the time of an approved purchase order. The approach maintains corporate controls relating to requisitions and purchase orders, eliminates the need for electronic invoicing, and automates the accounting and reconciliation of virtual credit card charges. For example, a particular line item in a card statement, representing a particular charge event, is automatically reconciled to the correct purchase order. For another example, each charge represented in a card statement can be associated with the supplier that is identified in a corresponding PO. Therefore, a computer graphical user interface (GUI) can show vendor identification at any time, whereas most buyers are not able to see the true vendor in spend data on a credit card charge, as the vendor is typically just represented as the issuing bank.
