A computer apparatus for performing financial transaction processing on a plurality of accounts is disclosed. The computer apparatus comprises a data storage device having a plurality of account files, each account file storing data relating to a particular account; a data processor for processing data relating to the account files; an input for receiving data relating to the account files and an output for outputting data relating to the account files. The input is arranged to receive data relating to debits and credits for particular account files which are processed by the data processor and stored in the corresponding account files on the data storage device. The data processor is arranged such that an account holder may have the file for their account on the data storage device marked with an indicator for activation of assistance when the account holder for that particular account file has committed expenditure which is greater than income.
摘要:
A computer apparatus for performing financial transaction processing on a plurality of accounts is disclosed. The computer apparatus comprises a data storage device having a plurality of account files, with each account file storing data relating to a particular account; a data processor for processing data relating to the account files; an input for receiving data relating to the account files and an output for outputting data relating to the account files. The input is arranged to receive data relating to debits and credits for particular account files which are processed by the data processor and stored in the corresponding account files on the data storage device. The data processor is arranged such that an account holder may have the file for their account on the data storage device marked with an indicator for activation of assistance when the account holder for that particular account file has committed expenditure which is greater than income. The marking of an account file on a computer apparatus may initiate, for example, the cancellation or repayment of at least a proportion, such as 50%, of an account file's balance on the computer apparatus, the interruption of any further debits from the account and the prompting of a financial review for the account holder which may include debt counselling. The outcome of the debt counselling may initiate cancellation or repayment of any remaining proportion of the account balance on the computer apparatus and closing or freezing of the account. Alternatively, the account on the computer apparatus may be “un-marked” such that it no longer indicates activation of assistance.
