20090106149 | GLOBAL COMPLIANCE PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR A MONEY TRANSFER SYSTEM - A money transfer system generally includes a rules database, a customer database, a transaction processing system, and an administrator port. The rules database includes information representative of transaction rules. The transaction rules include transaction type-based rules, point of entry-based rules, customer-based rules, and transaction location-based rules. At least some of the transaction rules include an aggregation threshold. The customer database includes information representative of customers' transaction histories. The transaction processing system is connected to the rules database and customer database and generally includes point of entry ports, a customer identifier, a rules coordinator, an aggregation engine, and a transaction rules service. The point of entry ports receive transaction requests from points of entry and provide transaction responses to the points of entry. Based on information received in transaction requests, the customer identifier identifies customers and the rules coordinator determines applicable transaction rules. The aggregation engine determines aggregation values as a function of customers' transaction histories. The transaction rules service determines whether information received in the transaction requests meets the applicable transaction rules, generates transaction responses requesting additional information if additional information is needed to meet the applicable transaction rules, causes the aggregation engine to determine aggregation values if the applicable transaction rules include aggregation thresholds, generates transaction responses, and updates the customer database as a function of the transaction responses. Transaction responses authorizing transactions are generated if the information received in the transaction requests, including any information received in response to additional information requests and any aggregation values, meet the applicable transaction rules. Transaction responses denying transactions are generated if the information received in the transaction requests, including any information received in response to additional information requests and any aggregation values, do not meet the applicable transaction rules. The administrator port communicates rule update information and the transaction processing system updates the rules database as a function of the rule update information. | 04-23-2009 |
20110031307 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MONEY TRANSFER - A method of performing a money transfer transaction involves receiving information at an automated kiosk from a user for a money transfer transaction, including a transaction type selection and, responsive to the information from the user received at the kiosk, building a staging record for the transaction. The staging record includes at least a retrieval key to identify the staging record and a transaction type identifier. The method provides to the sender from the kiosk a machine readable staged transaction token with staging information stored thereon, including the retrieval key for use in transaction fulfillment. | 02-10-2011 |
20110282790 | GLOBAL COMPLIANCE PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR A MONEY TRANSFER SYSTEM - An improved money transfer system includes a rules database, a customer database, and a transaction processing system.

Based on information received in transaction requests, the customer identifier identifies customers and the rules coordinator determines applicable transaction rules. The aggregation engine determines aggregation values as a function of customers' transaction histories. The transaction rules service determines whether information received in the transaction requests meets the applicable transaction rules and causes the aggregation engine to determine aggregation values if the applicable transaction rules include aggregation thresholds. The transaction rules service generates transaction responses based upon the information received in the transaction requests along with any information received in response to any requests for additional information and any aggregation values, and updates the customer database as a function of the transaction. | 11-17-2011 |
20120036071 | VERIFICATION METHODS FOR FRAUD PREVENTION IN MONEY TRANSFER RECEIVE TRANSACTIONS - A computer system is operated to prevent fraud in a money transfer receive transaction. A send transaction request is received from a sender for a money transfer including a send amount. The sender is prompted to select one or more security inputs to be supplied by a receiver for redemption of the money transfer. A send transaction record is stored with the selected one or more security inputs in a server. A receive transaction request is then received from the receiver. The receiver is prompted for the one or more security inputs set for redemption of the money transfer, and the provided one or more security inputs from the receiver are received. The received one or more security inputs are authenticated, and release of funds in the send amount is authorized if the received one or more security inputs are authenticated. | 02-09-2012 |

20130325720 | GLOBAL COMPLIANCE PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR A MONEY TRANSFER SYSTEM - An improved money transfer system. A rules database includes transaction rules that include an aggregation threshold. A customer database includes customers' transaction histories. A processing system receives transaction requests from points of entry and provides transaction responses. Based on information received in transaction requests, the processing system identifies customers and determines applicable transaction rules. An aggregation engine determines aggregation values as a function of customers' transaction histories. A transaction rules service determines whether information received in the transaction requests meets the applicable transaction rules and causes the aggregation engine to determine aggregation values if the applicable transaction rules include aggregation thresholds. Transaction responses are generated by the processing system in response to any aggregation values and other information. | 12-05-2013 |
