Abstract

The Late Binding Asset Funding Datastructure and Router Apparatuses, Processes and Systems (“LBAFDR”) transforms print check, payment instructions, documents, virtual card import, payment inputs via LBAFDR components into ACH instructions, post-presentment funding disbursement outputs. The LBAFDR includes fund-later-delegate router apparatus, comprising, at least one memory, a component collection stored in the at least one memory, at least one processor disposed in communication with the at least one memory, the at least one processor executing processor-executable instructions from the component collection, the component collection storage structured with processor-executable instructions. The LBAFDR may include instructions to import, via the at least one processor, a variable payment datastructure, create a variable payment datastructure record, and provide a payment type information datastructure to a target facilitator. It also may obtain funding information datastructure from target facilitator, and provide credit back to variable payment datastructure record based on the obtained funding information datastructure.

Claims (65)

1 . A fund-later-delegate router apparatus, comprising:

at least one memory;

a component collection stored in the at least one memory;

any of at least one processor disposed in communication with the at least one memory, the at least one processor executing processor-executable instructions from the component collection, storage of the component collection structured with processor-executable instructions comprising:

import a variable multi-type payment datastructure,

in which the variable multi-type payment datastructure is structured as including any of: a print check image, a virtual payment card, a direct deposit;

create a variable multi-type payment datastructure record,

in which the variable multi-type payment datastructure record is created using a dedicated fund-later-delegate variable account,

in which the dedicated fund-later-delegate variable account structured as any of: a dedicated fund-later-delegate check disbursement account, a dedicated fund-later-delegate card account, dedicated fund-later-delegate ACH disbursement account;

provide a payment type information datastructure to a target facilitator,

in which the payment type information datastructure is any of: a positive payment information datastructure, fulfillment file card datastructure, a ACH instruction datastructure,

in which the ACH instruction includes instructions debiting dedicated fund-later-delegate ACH disbursement account and credit a member account;

in which the target facilitator is any of: a bank check clearance server, a card processor server, a ACH bank server;

obtain funding information datastructure from target facilitator;

provide credit back to variable multi-type payment datastructure record based on the obtained funding information datastructure.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , in which the target facilitator initiates card authorization and settlement for the dedicated fund-later-delegate variable account when it includes the dedicated fund-later-delegate card account.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , in which the fulfillment file card datastructure is populated with completion files obtained from an EML, and further comprising:

providing payment via any of: downloading, faxing, printing.

4 . A fund-later-delegate router processor-readable, non-transient medium, the medium storing a component collection, storage the component collection structured with processor-executable instructions comprising:

import a variable multi-type payment datastructure,

in which the variable multi-type payment datastructure is structured as including any of: a print check image, a virtual payment card, a direct deposit;

create a variable multi-type payment datastructure record,

in which the variable multi-type payment datastructure record is created using a dedicated fund-later-delegate variable account,

in which the dedicated fund-later-delegate variable account structured as any of: a dedicated fund-later-delegate check disbursement account, a dedicated fund-later-delegate card account, dedicated fund-later-delegate ACH disbursement account;

provide a payment type information datastructure to a target facilitator,

in which the payment type information datastructure is any of: a positive payment information datastructure, fulfillment file card datastructure, a ACH instruction datastructure,

in which the ACH instruction includes instructions debiting dedicated fund-later-delegate ACH disbursement account and credit a member account;

in which the target facilitator is any of: a bank check clearance server, a card processor server, a ACH bank server;

obtain funding information datastructure from target facilitator;

provide credit back to variable multi-type payment datastructure record based on the obtained funding information datastructure.

5 . The medium of claim 4 , in which the target facilitator initiates card authorization and settlement for the dedicated fund-later-delegate variable account when it includes the dedicated fund-later-delegate card account.

6 . The medium of claim 4 , in which the fulfillment file card datastructure is populated with completion files obtained from an EML, and further comprising:

providing payment via any of: downloading, faxing, printing.

7 . A fund-later-delegate router processor-implemented system, comprising:

means to store a component collection;

means to process processor-executable instructions from the component collection, storage of the component collection structured with processor-executable instructions comprising:

import a variable multi-type payment datastructure,

in which the variable multi-type payment datastructure is structured as including any of: a print check image, a virtual payment card, a direct deposit;

create a variable multi-type payment datastructure record,

in which the variable multi-type payment datastructure record is created using a dedicated fund-later-delegate variable account,

in which the dedicated fund-later-delegate variable account structured as any of: a dedicated fund-later-delegate check disbursement account, a dedicated fund-later-delegate card account, dedicated fund-later-delegate ACH disbursement account;

provide a payment type information datastructure to a target facilitator,

in which the payment type information datastructure is any of: a positive payment information datastructure, fulfillment file card datastructure, a ACH instruction datastructure,

in which the ACH instruction includes instructions debiting dedicated fund-later-delegate ACH disbursement account and credit a member account;

in which the target facilitator is any of: a bank check clearance server, a card processor server, a ACH bank server;

obtain funding information datastructure from target facilitator;

provide credit back to variable multi-type payment datastructure record based on the obtained funding information datastructure.

8 . The system of claim 7 , in which the target facilitator initiates card authorization and settlement for the dedicated fund-later-delegate variable account when it includes the dedicated fund-later-delegate card account.

9 . The system of claim 7 , in which the fulfillment file card datastructure is populated with completion files obtained from an EML, and further comprising:

providing payment via any of: downloading, faxing, printing.

10 . A fund-later-delegate router process, including processing processor-executable instructions via any of at least one processor from a component collection stored in at least one memory, storage of the component collection structured with processor-executable instructions comprising:

import a variable multi-type payment datastructure,

in which the variable multi-type payment datastructure is structured as including any of: a print check image, a virtual payment card, a direct deposit;

create a variable multi-type payment datastructure record,

in which the variable multi-type payment datastructure record is created using a dedicated fund-later-delegate variable account,

in which the dedicated fund-later-delegate variable account structured as any of: a dedicated fund-later-delegate check disbursement account, a dedicated fund-later-delegate card account, dedicated fund-later-delegate ACH disbursement account;
