Publication number: 20050177510Abstract: Transferring funds from a payment originator (or payor) to a payment beneficiary (or payee) pushes the funds directly to a beneficiary's bank. The beneficiary's bank is not required to actively pull funds into the beneficiary's account. An originator can use a publicly known beneficiary indicator to direct payment to the beneficiary. The publicly known beneficiary indicator can be publicly used without exposing a beneficiary account to unauthorized debits or fraud since it can only be used to make credits to the beneficiary account, e.g. a deposit-only account. A pre-settlement conversation is used between the two banks to verify and evaluate information about an upcoming transfer of funds to determine whether to accept the funds transfer. The messages in the pre-settlement conversation contain information about the transaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2005Publication date: August 11, 2005Applicant: Visa International Service Association, A Delaware CorporationInventors: Nathan Hilt, William Thaw, Laura Cuda
