摘要:
Embodiments of a system for providing an integrated financial system to facilitate the transfer of funds among accounts held at different financial institutions and over different networks are described. The system executes a transaction involving a withdrawal of assets from a first account at a first financial institution and a deposit of at least a portion of the withdrawn assets to a second account at a second financial institution. The first account and the second account are maintained by different corporate entities, and may have the same or different account holders. The financial institutions are coupled to one another through different types of networks. The transaction is broken down into separate debit and credit legs. An integrated transfer process selects the optimum network to perform each leg of the transaction based upon constraints associated with the transaction and user preferences, such as cost and speed of the transaction, and restrictions or rules imposed by the networks and/or the financial institutions.

Embodiments described herein include an electronic transaction service network (also referred to herein as a centralized electronic transaction (CET) service). According to an embodiment, a financial management system hosts multiple CET web sites on behalf of multiple merchants. All transactions through any CET web site are executed and managed by the financial management system. Merchants may customize their web sites to include a branded look and feel. The merchant web sites are part of a CET service for which a customer can register. Registered customers can then view and pay invoices from any merchants having CET web sites, whether purchases were made online or offline. Customers specify preferences for the CET service including choosing existing customer accounts from which the financial management system is to pay invoices on behalf of the customer. This eliminates the need for the customer to open and fund a separate payment account as in traditional methods.

Embodiments described herein include a financial management system that transfers funds on behalf of a user. Embodiments further include a payment enabled invoice method and system including a payment application and payment hubs through which invoicing entities may create and modify invoices, and through which a payer may view and pay the invoices.

Embodiments of the invention include an electronic payment system that allows person-to-person (P2P) payments and requests for payment, consumer-to-consumer (C2C) payments and requests for payment, and use of a P2P service by a business which in turn offers the service to its customers for making payments and requests for payment. The system and service allow users to make payments from their existing financial accounts to anyone, anywhere without funding a special account and managing a third-party relationship separate from the relationship the user has with the financial institution. The service further allows users to receive payments without registering for a third-party service. In embodiments, the service is available as an integrated banking service alongside current financial institution electronic banking services already used by customers. A bank customer can use the payment service directly from within a bank or bank web site.
