  • Publication number: 20130325720
    Abstract: An improved money transfer system. A rules database includes transaction rules that include an aggregation threshold. A customer database includes customers' transaction histories. A processing system receives transaction requests from points of entry and provides transaction responses. Based on information received in transaction requests, the processing system identifies customers and determines applicable transaction rules. An aggregation engine determines aggregation values as a function of customers' transaction histories. A transaction rules service determines whether information received in the transaction requests meets the applicable transaction rules and causes the aggregation engine to determine aggregation values if the applicable transaction rules include aggregation thresholds. Transaction responses are generated by the processing system in response to any aggregation values and other information.

The rules database includes information representative of transaction rules, at least some of which include an aggregation threshold. The customer database includes information representative of customers' transaction histories. The transaction processing system is connected to the rules database and customer database and includes point of entry ports, a customer identifier, a rules coordinator, an aggregation engine, and a transaction rules service. The point of entry ports receive transaction requests from points of entry and provide transaction responses to the points of entry. Based on information received in transaction requests, the customer identifier identifies customers and the rules coordinator determines applicable transaction rules. The aggregation engine determines aggregation values as a function of customers' transaction histories.
