Publication number: 20220277390Abstract: The present invention involves a system and method for coordinating the centralization of the submission of requests for offers for credit and receipt of offers for credit between an internet user and a plurality of lending institutions via the internet. This method involves the use of a single offer request form, which is the combination of required lender information from consumer credit processes, and the receipt of information from the user, and various semi-automated online processes, to populate that single offer request form. After receiving this data, a special computer, or server, sorts the information and applies a filter to the data. Once the data has been filtered, it is transmitted to a multiple number of lending institutions, or alternatively evaluated using a model of the lending institutions criteria.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2022Publication date: September 1, 2022Inventors: Stephen James Dash, George Matthew Raptis, Brian Gregory Lucas
