Abstract: Financial instruments are produced at a remote location by a 3D printer. In one embodiment, a request is made for a financial instrument, such as a prepaid gift instrument, by user system(s) at the remote location(s). The user system(s) may be at one or more of a retailer location, a money transfer agent location, or an instrument holder or recipient location (such as at an instrument holder/recipient's residence). An instrument issuer may transmit a print file to a user system which may in turn provide the print file to the 3D printer in order to produce the instrument. At least of a portion of the print file may be rendered unusable at the user system after being provided to or used by the 3D printer, in order to prevent use of the print file to produce unauthorized copies of the instrument.

Abstract: A money transfer authorization method that includes the step of providing transferor biometric information to a party verification processor that verifies an identity of the transferor by comparing the transferor biometric information with previously registered biometric information from the transferor, where the transferor provides transfer identity information to receive the money. The method also includes confirming that the verified transferor has sufficient funds or credit for the money transfer, and providing transferee biometric identification to the party verification processor that verifies the transferee by comparing the transferee biometric information with previously registered biometric information from the transferee. The transferee has to provide transfer identity information before the money is given to the transferee.

Abstract: The present invention relates to articles with cavities capable of receiving objects as a result of extending an opening into a cavity capable of receiving the objects. For example, the opening in an article of footwear can be extended into the toe box to allow for the easier insertion and removal of a foot. The present invention also relates to systems that permit the article to be secured to the object after it has been inserted.

Abstract: The invention provides various systems and methods for determining if a coupon should be offered and/or for determining the terms of such coupons based on information provided by a party to a transaction. In one exemplary embodiment, a method is provided for electronically generating coupons when performing money transfer transactions. According to the method, money transfer transaction information used to perform a money transfer transaction is provided. The money transfer transaction information is processed through a rules engine to determine a coupon offer based on the money transfer transaction information. The coupon offer is electronically generated so that it may be provided to a party to the transaction.

Abstract: A method for providing a coupon code to a recipient via a network includes storing a coupon code on a tangible storage medium of a host computer, receiving a request for the coupon code from the recipient, and providing the recipient with the coupon code via the network in response to the request. The coupon code is transmitted along the network between the host computer and the recipient as an analog or digital audio signal.
