  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERIODIC SAVING USING ACCOUNT CONTROLS
    Publication number: 20170061406
    Abstract: A method for periodic savings and usage via transaction controls includes: storing an account profile, the profile including a primary account number and account balance; receiving a saving request, the request including a period of time, periodic amount, total amount, and transaction criteria; storing a transaction control in the account profile that prevents usage of a saved amount of the account balance where the saved amount corresponds to the periodic amount; increasing the saved amount by the periodic amount after the period of time; repeating the increasing step until the saved amount is equal to or greater than the total amount; and updating the transaction control to prevent usage of the saved amount outside of a payment transaction in compliance with the one or more transaction criteria.
