Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to the field of financial credit transactions. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system and method for facilitating financial credit installments.
- Possible reasons for such behavior may include:
- the financing solutions are provided by a variety of sources, some providing a general purpose loan, not linked to a specific purchase, and others link the "loan" to a specific purchase/product/service. For example:
- the revolving instrument is a common worldwide credit card industry solution of general purpose loans. In the revolving method, a card holder can decide how much of his monthly credit card expenses he would rather revolve to the next month (within certain limitations). [0010]
- the financing costs for such instrument are Annual Percent Rate (APR) derived from the national Federal interest rate. It is not fixed, and usually raises a lot above the Federal interest rate.
- APR Annual Percent Rate
- the revolving mechanism is common in the US consumer credit market, due to the popularity of credit cards as a monetary instrument (over 150 million cards in the year 2006), where more than 60% of card holders are using revolving credit line on their cards.
- the purchased product is registered as a grantee for the given loan.
- the APRs for such loans vary between industries and are usually lower than the APR of the revolving' credit card APR's. This kind of credit loan is usually not preapproved as in the case of revolving credit card accounts.
- the Consumer may request to split a cost or payment required from the Customer in connection with the transaction into a set of partial repayments or installments such that the full transaction cost may be spread across the set of partial repayments, which partial repayments are spread across and made intermittently over some period of time.
- One or more credit providers may execute/provide full or partial payment for the transaction, to the merchant on behalf of the Consumer, on condition that the Consumer will repay the full transaction amount along with financing charges to the creditor using periodic partial repayments, wherein an outstanding repayment balance may substantially continuously be securitized by an intermittent re-securitization mechanism.
- the one or more credit providers executing a transaction related payment on behalf of the Customer may be secondary credit providers, which secondary credit provider may securitize any outstanding repayment balance against credit provided by a primary credit provider (e.g. Credit Card Issuer, Credit Card Underwriter, Credit Union or Bank, etc.).
- a primary credit provider e.g. Credit Card Issuer, Credit Card Underwriter, Credit Union or Bank, etc.
- An agreed upon schedule for the set of partial repayments amounts across an agreed period of time may be referred to as a repayment schedule and may be pre-defined or pre-determined.
- the repayment schedule e.g. recurring repayment date, period between partial repayments, repayment amount, etc.
- the repayment schedule may be selected by the Consumer, for example during the transaction or purchase.
- the repayment schedule may be altered or restructured (e.g. delayed repayments - extend period between repayments, accelerated repayments - reduce period between repayments, repayment date offset - change date of the month, repayment amount, etc.) after the transaction or purchase date. Re-securitization may be performed automatically in connection with the repayment schedule.
- the present invention is a system and method for facilitating a transaction.
- a merchant a Consumer/Customer of goods and/or services and/or monetary means (e.g. cash), which may be initiated at or through any point of access (e.g. online, point of sale, mobile point of sale, automatic teller machine; and/or any communication device, such as a mobile phone, or attachment thereof, and or any other point of access known today or to be devised in the future)
- the Consumer may request to split the transaction cost into a set of payments/installments, by which costs may be spread over a period of time.
- Said set of payments and said period of time may be pre-defined or pre-determined.
- a Consumer of goods and/or services and/or monetary means may request that a secondary credit provider pay the merchant the cost of the purchased goods and/or services.
- Said secondary credit provider may be any third party willing to finance said transaction (e.g. any financial institution, the merchant himself).
- there may be a party which organizes payment by installments and the operation of the transaction system described hereinafter (e.g. an independent third party, a merchant, a secondary credit provider, a primary credit provider).
- the secondary credit provider may provide the Consumer with repayment terms (e.g. monthly payments/installments) for the principle amount to be paid by the secondary provider and/or for financing fees (e.g. interest or any other kind of fees).
- the secondary credit provider may securitize the amounts to be paid to the merchant with a credit line provided to the Consumer by a primary credit provider (e.g. credit card company).
- a primary credit provider e.g. credit card company
- the financing party e.g. secondary credit provider
- the following types of monetary costs/fees/transactions may be securitized : actual costs of transactions; financial fees (e.g. as stated above); any additional fees, fines and/or penalties associated with secondary credit; payments for damages caused to goods, real estate and so on; payment of fees, fines and/or penalties associated with the underlying transaction; payment of taxes, insurance(s) and/or any other payment associated with the underlying transaction; payment(s) of fees and penalties associated with the organizing of the secondary credit, with organizing payment by installments, with organizing the use of the transaction system described hereinafter, and so on.
- the various costs, fees, penalties and/or damages may be distributed to partial payments (installments) according to various algorithms, including, but in no way limited to, the following cases: (i) each installment is of an equal amount; (ii) entire amount of several fees, or all fees, are included in the first installment; (iii) distribution of all above mentioned costs by virtually the same algorithm, in a manner substantially similar to the distribution of the interest in many real-estate loans; (iv) the cost, damages, fees and penalties associated with terminating/finishing/ending of the lease becomes a part of additional installment(s); (v) the cost, damages, fees and penalties associated with the premature termination of a transaction is added the current installment or the additional installment(s); (vi) the cost, damages, fees and penalties are added to the securitized amount based on algorithms that take into account probabilities and consumer profile, and other related considerations.
- the secondary credit provider may request from the primary credit provider partial payment of the authorized credit based on the agreed upon repayment terms between the secondary credit provider and the Consumer. Since each credit authorization expires either within a predefined period of time or based on some action, the secondary credit provider may re-securitize any remaining balance owed to it by the Consumer by intermittently re-requesting credit authorization for the remaining balance.
- the above re-securitization and money transfer cycle may be re-executed until all due payments are transferred to the secondary credit provider.
- said secondary credit provider may request the primary credit provider to transfer the full remaining balance from the Consumer to it, based on the last prior credit securitization performed.
- a methods and systems for facilitating credit based transactions associated with purchase of goods, services or real estate having a cost may be received over a data network.
- the cost of the transaction may then be securitized over a data network against a credit line provided by a primary credit provider.
- a secondary credit provider may fund the transaction.
- the secondary credit provider may intermittently receive partial payment of the transaction's cost and while intermittently re-securitizing an outstanding transaction balance.
- a transaction system may comprise of one or more transaction servers including a collective control logic adapted to: (1) receive over a data network the data indicating the cost of goods or service; (2) securitize over a data network the cost of the transaction against a credit line provided by a primary credit provider; (3) fund the transaction upon securitization; (4) intermittently receive partial payment from the primary credit provider; and (5) intermittently re-securitize an outstanding balance.

- FIG. 1 there is shown, in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention, a flow chart describing the stages and steps of an exemplary method for facilitating installment transactions.
- the first part of the process begins with a negotiation of the cost of goods or service between a merchant and a purchaser. Once the price has been agreed, the purchaser requests secondary credit provider services (installments), and receives in return, possibly through the merchant or merchant terminal, the repayment terms offered by the secondary credit provider. The purchaser may then : accept the terms, request another repayment offer, or decide he is not interested. The Secondary credit provider then securitizes the full transaction amount (including financing fees) through the primary credit provider and pays the full transaction amount to merchant.
- secondary credit provider installments
- the Secondary credit provider securitizes the full transaction amount (including financing fees) through the primary credit provider and pays the full transaction amount to merchant.
- the secondary credit provider attempts re-securitizing the remaining transaction balance through the primary credit provider. If the primary credit provider authorizes the securitization of the remaining transaction balance the secondary credit provider orders the primary service provider to pay it a partial payment of the authorized sum (Based on purchaser's repayment terms) and cancels the last prior securitization made through the primary service provider, this iteration may repeat until the full amount of the transaction is paid to the secondary credit provider. If, on the other hand, the primary credit provider does not authorize the securitization of the remaining transaction balance, the secondary credit provider orders the primary service provider to pay it the transaction's full remaining balance (Based on the primary credit provider's last prior authorization).
- a securitization module may be adapted to receive over a data network the data indicating the cost of goods or service.
- the data may be received from a merchant agent selected from a group consisting of Terminal Merchant Agent, On-Line Merchant Agent, Check-out Provider Agent and Cash Withdrawal Agent.
- the securitization module may be further adapted to receive data relating to the number and/or sum(s) of said partial payments.
- the securitization module may be adapted to securitize the cost of the transaction against a credit line provided by a primary credit provider, a securitization may comprise of initiating a credit request and receiving a credit authorization.
- a funds transfer module may be adapted to fund of the transaction upon its securitization (e.g. by transfer of funds to merchant of goods/services).
- a fund receipt module may be adapted to intermittently receive partial payment or to receive full payment, from the primary credit provider.
- the fund receipt module may be further adapted to receive full balance payment from the primary credit provider upon a re-securitization failure.
- the transfer of funds to the merchant may only be done upon shipping of the goods to the consumer.
- the securitization module may be further adapted to intermittently re-securitize an outstanding balance.
- a re-securitization may comprise of initiating a credit request and receiving a credit authorization.
- FIG. 2 there is shown, in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention, a table describing the modules of an exemplary system for facilitating transactions.
- the purchaser initiates a transaction through a Cash Withdrawal Agent (CWA), a Check-out Provider Agent (CPA) or a Merchant Agent (MA) such as an On-Line Merchant Agent or a Terminal Merchant Agent.
- CWA Cash Withdrawal Agent
- CPA Check-out Provider Agent
- MA Merchant Agent
- the system's (Secondary Credit Provider's) Securitization Module then performs a full transaction sum credit authorization through the Primary Credit Provider, upon a successful credit authorization (securitization) it finances and transfers the entire transaction amount to the merchant using its funds transfer module.
- the secondary credit provider intermittently (e.g.
- balance sums credit authorizations Each time a balance sum credit request is authorized the secondary credit provider re-securitizes the remaining balance excluding the current installment, requests the primary credit provider to transfer to it the sum of the current installment and receives it using its funds receipt module. If a balance sum credit request is not authorized the secondary credit provider requests the primary credit provider to transfer to it the entire balance of the transaction, based on the last prior authorization made by the primary credit provider.
- FIG 3 there is shown, in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention, an image of an exemplary transaction payment arrangement agreement wherein based on the sub total of the transaction, the number of installments and the calculated interest; the amount of the first installment and the balance sum (after payment of the first installment are calculated and presented.

- the system may be used for giving out loans in installments which may be collected directly through the credit or debit card used by the consumer for the monthly payments, directly to the Consumer's bank account or in the other way.
- Such credit may be securitized by a primary creditor (e.g. by issuer of credit card, a credit union or a bank, a non-bank credit card issuer).
- a Consumer may open an account in the system where they may update the details of additional credit cards in order for the system to divide the ongoing authorizations/re-securitizations as well as the actual collection, between the different cards according to the Consumer's instructions or a formula within the system, to divide the risk and increase the chances of approving the transactions, or according to the credit card type (Platinum before Gold etc.).
- the credit card type Platinum before Gold etc.
- opening an account may enable the system to automatically request re-securitization or approval for collection from another card listed in the Consumer's account if one of the re-securitization or collection procedures from the first card has been declined in the duration of the Consumer's funding period.
- the system may know how to execute the transaction through a specific card or to divide it between a number of cards which the Consumer may have registered in his account in order to maximize the consumer benefits existing in the different cards according to the Consumer's instructions or according to the system's decision in a way that may maximize the benefits to the Consumer (for example, collecting air miles, reimbursement of funds (e.g. cash back etc.).
- a Consumer may re-finance/re-securitize all of the existing transactions through the purchaser's account on the system, combining or dividing some or all the remaining balance in the different transactions.
- an automatic system may be created to divide funding of an external entity between several financing bodies (simulate funding syndicate) and distributing the funding between the bodies according to a pre-determined module to be agreed upon with the financing bodies as well as attaching the authorization of the Primary Credit Provider to the financing bodies relative to the risk and the extent of their commitments in the transaction.
- the system may divide the securitization requests according to an algorithm which may enable a higher chance of approval in the securitization process (for example, by dividing one securitization request into two: one for the due installment and one for the remaining amount).
