Global transfers computer system for international account transactions
The patent US12045786B2 outlines a sophisticated global transfers computer system architecture designed to facilitate real-time foreign exchange (FX) rate requests for customers with accounts across multiple jurisdictions. The system integrates a global treasury computer system and a local treasury computer system to process FX rates for both supported and unsupported currencies. It features a centralized customer database that consolidates personal internet banking (PIB) profiles, enabling single sign-on (SSO) access to various accounts. The architecture allows customers to initiate electronic global transfer instructions through a user-friendly interface, which verifies the transactable countries and processes automatic fund transfers between debit and credit accounts, while ensuring compliance with global regulations.
Additionally, the system incorporates a foreign exchange application that interfaces with both treasury systems to obtain real-time FX rates, caching these rates for use during outages or weekends. The architecture is designed to provide tailored FX rates based on predetermined criteria and customer propositions. It also includes functionalities for automated linking validation, security compliance checks, and the generation of FX income reports. The method for performing global transfers emphasizes efficiency and security, ensuring that customers can execute immediate, future, or recurring transfers seamlessly while maintaining compliance with international banking standards.
