Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for executing a plurality of money transfers, at least one term of which is dependent on the value of a fluctuating parameter, for example a currency exchange rate or the amount of a transaction service fee. The customer may stage a first money transfer at a money-transfer system and a first value of the fluctuating parameter may be determined by a host processor. The first money transfer may then be executed by the money-transfer system using the first value of the fluctuating parameter and a unique lock-in value identifier may be stored in the host processor's memory that associates the first value of the fluctuating parameter with the customer.

Abstract: According to the invention, a method for approving financial transactions involving money transfer agents and individuals is disclosed. The method may include receiving a request to conduct a money transfer at a money transfer agent location characterized by a first quality level. The method may include determining that the money transfer requires a minimum agent quality level, and a minimum identification quality level of identification of the individual. The method may include inspecting a form of identification characterized by a second quality level of the requestor. The method may include comparing the first quality level to the minimum agent quality level to verify that the agent location is qualified and the second quality level to the minimum identification quality level to verify that the identification is sufficient. The method may include initiating the money transfer upon verifying that the agent location is qualified and that the identification is sufficient.

Abstract: A system is described allowing the transfer of funds, for example, from an employer to a third-party intermediary which can distribute the funds via a payroll card to an employee. The system allows a portion of the population such as that which does not use traditional bank accounts to receive funds via a payroll card at a variety of locations without the necessity of visiting the bank location of the employer to cash a check. Other embodiments of the invention allow funds to be distributed from a first party to a second party via an intermediary party.
