  • Patent number: 10650388
    Abstract: The present subject matter provided is a “real-time” (versus batch) process that utilizes a financial or insurance institution's customer's personal computer to gather “up-to-the-minute” competitor product premium pricing information that can be used by the customer and the customer's financial or insurance institution for competitive product premium pricing comparison. One way to provide pricing information is to use an aggregation vendor to transmit and receive online pricing information from competitors. Another way to provide pricing information is to use the customer's computer to transmit data and to request a price quote. An applet or other type of software may be loaded onto a computer being used by the customer to facilitate the transmission and reception of pricing information. A central repository may be used to collect and store pricing information to provide online quotes as well as monitor for pricing changes of competitors.
