Abstract: Certain embodiments relate to an article of manufacture for determining whether to traverse, in a restricted zone, a requirement for paper documents. A method for using the article of manufacture may include a receiver that receives electronic documentation relating to a transmission and a transmitter that transmits the electronic documentation for review. The receiver may also receive a determination as to whether the documentation is sufficient to support a transaction associated with the transmission. When the documentation is sufficient to support a transaction associated with the transmission, a processor may flag a prefix of the transmission such that a downstream processor may discern from the flag that the transmission is associated with qualifying electronic documentation.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods include an interface that mediates between a user's foreign exchange workflow and the user's accounts payable settlement workflow. The interface allows a user to create a foreign currency trade utilizing trading service provided by a trading platform. The interface may then integrate those trades into payment services provided by a treasury platform. The interface may allow the payment services accessible via the treasury platform to create and approve payments based on the trades and proceeds of the trades.
