  • Patent number: 11875346
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums which provide a store credit issued electronically to a mobile wallet application from a merchant. This credit may be issued to a mobile wallet in the form of an enhanced wallet payment element. This enhanced wallet payment element may include the terms and conditions (e.g., repayment terms) of the credit (e.g., a digital/smart contract). The customer may accept or reject these terms. For example, when the customer accepts the terms, the enhanced wallet payment element digitally signs the agreement and indicates acceptance to the merchant mobile wallet system (e.g., sends the digital signature to the merchant). Once accepted, the enhanced wallet payment element may be utilized to pay for goods or services subject to the terms and conditions.

  • Patent number: 11854074
    Abstract: A distributed computing system facilitates automatic loan agreements between syndicate participants. The system includes a blockchain comprising circuitry embodying a plurality of blockchain services. A membership service registers participants to the syndicate, generates a unique identifier for each of the participants, and verifies that a respective entity is a node on the blockchain. An oracle service retrievably stores loan terms templates provided by the participants via a centrally managed entity. A smart contracts service receives financial and/or geo-location data associated with the plurality of syndicate participants. A predictive analytics service uses the data to determine whether a first syndicate participant has an excess of funds and whether a second syndicate participant has a lack of funds. A loan service automatically facilitates a loan agreement between the first participant and the second participant.
