  • Publication number: 20150248675
    Abstract: A system generates an identifier when a consumer deposits cash, where a new unique identifier is generated with each transaction. The consumer receives the identifier and the identifier (along with the amount of cash deposit) is communicated to a payment provider for storage. The consumer may then access and fund an on-line account with the financial services provider by first accessing the account and entering the unique character identifier, which the system processes. If the identifier is valid, e.g., an actual stored identifier within the system associated with a cash amount, then the system transfers that amount to the consumer's account. At this point, the consumer may use the account to make an on-line transaction or purchase with the newly funded amount.

  • Publication number: 20100280944
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a user logs into a bank account and access a bill payment service through the bank. The user enters a recipient's email address and an amount to be transferred from the user's account to the recipient. The bill payment service transfers the amount to a payment provider, who then transfers the amount to the recipient if the recipient has an account with the payment provider. As a result, recipients who are not part of a bill payment service can quickly receive payments, and users can make quickly and easily payments to recipients who are not part of a bill payment service by simply entering an email address and payment amount.
