Publication number: 20160307170Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include systems and methods for creating a customized framework for allowing members of a first network to conduct transactions with members of a second network, where the two networks do not otherwise allow members to conduct transactions with one another. The system may (i) communicate with the first network to receive transaction instructions from a party to the transaction, as well as the alias of the counterparty, (ii) communicate with the second network to receive aliases and transaction data associated with its members, and (iii) generate a directory that associated the members' aliases with the transaction data. The system performs the transaction based on the directory, the transaction instructions, the alias, and the transaction data. The system is also configured to allow a member of one network manage the third party networks that store and use information related to the member.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2015Publication date: October 20, 2016Inventors: Scott Lee Harkey, Matthew Laine Donlan
