  • 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.
