Embodiments of the invention are directed to closed-loop resource event processing in which an initial determination as to whether a resource event requiring real-time processing can be processed absent an external real-time processing network. In the event that a determination is made that the resource event can by processed absent the external real-time processing network, a closed network group is created internally within the event-initiating system and the event is processed internally within the event initiating-system. By limiting the use of the real-time processing network to only those resource event that require such processing, less burden is placed on real-time processing network, meaning less processing resources are required and the processing that is required on the real-time processing network can occur more efficiently and effectively.
