Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to electronic payment, and, more particularly, to methods and systems for providing coupon payments as an alternative to payments made with paper checks.
- the bill is automatically paid without review by the customer.
- the bill is forwarded to a bill payment system.
- the bill then is either automatically paid or it is presented to the customer online and then the customer selects the bill for payment.
- An example of such a bill payment system is described in U.S. Patent No. 6,289,322 to Kitchen et al., entitled
- a computer-implemented method for providing coupon payments as an alternative to payments made with checks includes the steps of determining whether a bill is eligible for coupon payment; generating a coupon for the bill, if it is determined that the bill is eligible for coupon payment; receiving the coupon from a customer, the coupon including the customer's election to make the coupon payment for the bill; and paying the bill using a check-less payment network, in accordance with information from the coupon.
- a bill is considered eligible for coupon payment based on bill payment history or certain characteristics of the bill.
- Eligible bills include utility bills, mortgage bills, credit card bills, automobile financing bills, and bills for most other types of recurring payments.
- the payment coupon and the bill are mailed to the customer.
- the payment coupon and the bill are included in the same envelope.
- the payment coupon includes at least a portion of the customer's billing account information.
- the payment coupon includes an amount to be paid.
- checking account information is absent from the payment coupon.
- the payment coupon includes a portion to indicate election of payment by either coupon or check.
- the check-less payment network includes the Automated Clearing House (ACH).
- a billing entity matches the customer account number against a list of eligible customer account numbers.
- customer account numbers are encrypted.
- the list of eligible account numbers is created by an Originating Depository Financial Institution (ODFI).
- ODFI Originating Depository Financial Institution
- the payment is debited from the customer's checking account.
- FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an exemplary system for paying bills using Coupon Payments
- FIG. 2 is an exemplary Coupon
- FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating another exemplary embodiment of the present invention in which aspects of payment processing are outsourced. Description of Preferred Embodiments Throughout the disclosure various terms and expressions are used with meanings as per the following definitions:
- ACH Automated Clearing House
- Originator Any individual, corporation or other entity that initiates entries into the Automated Clearing House (ACH).
- An example of an Originator is a Biller that initiates bill payments from customers who have elected to use Coupon Payments to pay their bills.
- Originating Depository Financial Institution (ODFI) A participating financial institution that originates ACH entries at the request of and by agreement with its customers.
- Receiving Depository Financial Institution Any financial institution qualified to receive ACH entries that agrees to abide by the NACHA Operating Rules and Guidelines
- the present invention may be implemented in various forms of hardware, software, special purpose processors, or a combination thereof.
- the present invention is implemented in a high- level programming language such as C, C++, COBOL, or Java.
- the software of the invention is tangibly embodied on various program storage devices.
- the programs are uploaded to, and executed by, a computer platform having hardware such as one or more central processing units (CPU), a random access memory (RAM), and input/output (I/O) interface(s).
- the computer platform also includes an operating system and microinstruction code.
- FIG. 1 a diagram illustrating an exemplary system for paying bills using Coupon Payments is illustrated.
- the system includes an ODF1 102, a Biller 104, a Customer 106, and an RFD1 110.
- the OFD1 102 is the financial institution that receives payment instructions from the Biller 104.
- the Biller 104 acts as an Originator."
- the OFD1 102 forwards entries via the ACH 108 to the RFD1 110.
- the RFD1 110 is the depository financial institution that participates in the ACH system to initiate entries in the Biller's 104 account.
- FIG. 1 includes a single Customer 106 associated with only one Biller 104, it is to be appreciated that there will generally be several Customers 106 each associated with various Billers 104.
- the diagram of FIG. 1 is provided for illustrative purposes.
- the Biller 104 periodically forwards customer check data to the ODFl 102. This customer check data is compiled from the bills paid by check by the Customers 106.
- This customer check data will include historical payment information for each bill payment made by check to the Biller 104.
- Coupon payment eligibility involves a determination as to whether the Customer's 106 bill payments are recurring (e.g., a periodic bill payment) and are capable of being processed through the ACH 108. If the payment is determined to be recurring, MICR information from the customer's check is then read. This information includes the customer's checking account number and routing number. This information is formatted into an ACH-format, and the ODFl 102 then runs a test to determine whether the bill could have been paid through the ACH 108. If it passes.this test, the billing information and the Customer's 106 checking information are added to an entry in an "Eligible" File. (Step 2). Next, the Eligible File is transmitted from the ODFl 102 to the Biller 104.
- Step 3 Only bills that the Biller 104 is responsible for are provided to the particular Biller 104.
- the Biller 104 may then append coupons to the bills matched against the Eligible File, starting in the next billing cycle.
- Step 4 When the Customer 106 receives his or her next statement, it will include the payment coupon.
- the Customer 106 elects to pay the bill either in the conventional manner (by check) or by submitting the Coupon (without a check).
- Step 5 The Biller 104 receives the bill payment. If it was made by check, the bill is processed according to the conventional check-clearing process.
- the Coupon 200 includes a Biller identifier 201 (e.g., Biller XYZ), the customer's account number 202, a total amount due 203, a minimum amount due 204, a specific payment amount 205, a payment due date 206, and a signature line 207.
- Biller identifier 201 e.g., Biller XYZ
- the Customer 106 would simply indicate the amount to be paid by checking one of the payment choices 203-205 (and, in the case of payment of a specific amount, write the amount to be paid) and sign the Coupon 200 at the signature line 207.
- the Coupon 200 would then be returned by the Customer 106 via U.S. Mail to the Biller 104.
- the present invention does not need to include full customer account information (or other "sensitive" personal data) on any document sent through the U.S. Mail or even transmitted through the billing system.
- the Coupon 200 may include only a "masked" version of the customer account number 202 (such as the last few digits as an identifier only).
- Digits that are not revealed may be substituted by other characters (e.g., an 'X').
- the customer bank account number can be decoded through a biller identifier (e.g., the customer account number)
- the Biller 104 can also be provided with a software utility to derive the financial information securely and privately.
- the Biller 104 receives the remittance from the customer (including the Coupon 200)
- the Biller 104 identifies the customer and the receipt of payment.
- the Biller 104 matches the customer with the encrypted version of the customer's bank account number.
- the encrypted version of the bank account number is then sent to the ODFl 102, where it will be decrypted. It should be appreciated that other sensitive information (financial or otherwise) may also be similarly processed.
- a Lockbox Vendor 150 is provided to carry out much of the payment processing.
- the customer check data is transmitted from the Lockbox Vendor 150 to the ODFl 102.
- the ODFl 102 analyzes this customer check data to determine eligibility for coupon payment in subsequent billing cycles.
- MICR information from the check is obtained to produce a test against the ACH 108. If it passes the test, the billing information and the Customer's 106 checking information are added to an entry in an "Eligible" File. (Step 2a).
- the Eligible File is transmitted from the ODFl 102 to the Biller 104. Only bills that the Biller 104 is responsible for are provided to the particular Biller 104.
- the Biller 104 may then append coupons to the bills matched against the Eligible File, starting in the next billing cycle.
- Step 4a When the Customer 106 receives his or her next statement, it will include the payment coupon. The Customer 106 elects to pay the bill either in the conventional manner (by check) or by submitting the Coupon (without a check).
- Step 5a instead of the Biller 104 receiving the bill payment, this step will be outsourced to the Lockbox Vendor 150. In other words, the Lockbox Vendor 150 receives and processes the payment.
- the bill is processed according to the conventional check-clearing process.
- the Customer 106 elected to pay the bill via payment coupon, then notification of the payment is sent by the Lockbox Vendor 150 to the Biller 104 (Step 6a) and the payment is forwarded by the Lockbox Vendor 150 to the ODFl 102 (Step 7a), and then to the ACH 108 (Step 8a).
- the ACH 108 requests that the payment amount be added to the Biller's 104 account by the RFD1 110 (Step 9a).
