  • Patent number: 8190516
    Abstract: Systems and methods are illustrated for providing an equity protection product to a borrower of a loan. Aspects of the equity protection product may be implemented using an equity protection agreement. The equity protection product may be used to safeguard a borrower's investment in the event of a housing market downturn. In some examples, once the equity protection is purchased, the borrower's equity can only increase or remain stable (i.e., flat) regardless of market conditions. The payoff amount of the borrower's loan may be reduced to compensate for a change in the market value of the borrower's home. The equity protection product may be provided by a lending institution, bank, or any other comparable entity/person. A trading desk may also be used to hedge against the risk created by the equity protection product. In addition, an appraiser may also be used to evaluate and provide current market values of the relevant property.

  • Publication number: 20120046974
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include systems, methods, and computer-program products that provide for a unique unemployment insurance underwriting system. In one embodiment of the invention, the unemployment insurance underwriting system receives a request to enroll in the unemployment insurance from a user. The system then receives data associated with the user from a financial institution. The system then determines the benefits to be paid to the user based, in some cases, on the data received from the financial institution. The system then determines whether the user qualifies to enroll in the unemployment insurance based on the benefits and the user data. In an embodiment of the invention, the unemployment insurance provides benefits for monthly expenses to users that have become involuntarily unemployed.
