摘要： The present invention provides systems and methods of processing bill payments. One such method includes receiving a payment request from a customer. The payment request is for a bill associated with a vendor. The vendor may be any number of vendors including utility companies, mortgage lenders, credit card companies, financing companies for the purchase of furniture, appliances, or automobiles, and the like. The method includes verifying, using a point-of-sale device, whether the vendor is included in a group of authorizing vendors. A customer identification and a payment amount associated with the particular bill is received from the customer. The method further includes receiving a payment authorization and providing a receipt to the customer. In this manner, the customer may use a point-of-sale device to make on-time bill payments.

摘要： Methods and systems are provided for executing such a bilateral action. A communication is received at a host system. A determination is made that the communication identifies a physical instrument that identifies an account of stored value. A request is transmitted to another host system to debit the account by an amount identified in the communication to support the bilateral action. A confirmation is received from the other host system that the account of stored value has been debited. An approval for the bilateral action is transmitted to an originating communications device.

摘要： A method of transporting electronic data in a distributed computer network, where the method includes receiving, at a first network node, a first data packet that includes a network event identifier, a user account identifier, and network event data, where the user account identifier points to a location on the first network node where the user account is stored, and the network event data define an operation between a user and a network operator. The method also includes processing the network event parameters with a loyalty algorithm to generate a loyalty value parameter; and calculating an updated account value parameter for the user account using the loyalty value parameter.
