Abstract

The principles and embodiments of the invention relate to systems and computer-implemented methods for administering financial product accounts that provide reward benefits. An attribution rate on an investment in a financial account can be generated as benefit rewards received from the use of credit cards in a credit card account. The method can comprise issuing credit cards to customers, and receiving invested funds into corresponding financial accounts for each customer, wherein the financial accounts are configured by the computer-implemented method as a saving vehicle selected by the customers for investment. The computer-implemented administration system can comprise a credit or debit card provided to a person having an account, a first computer system having communication hardware for receiving credit or debit card data over a network, and a non-transitory computer readable media having an account database configured to record monetary values in the account.

Claims (14)

1. A system comprising:

a first computer and second computer, wherein the second computer is distinct from the first computer;

the first computer configured with software in non-transient memory to:

create, store, and administer plurality of first records;

implement a data model to produce an output rate using a first rate applied to data values in data transmitted to a first record in the first records and using a second rate applied to data values from data from data activity receive in a second record in a plurality of second records on the second computer;

create a database configured to implement an electronic data structure that defines an electronic structural relationship between the first computer and the second computer, wherein the electronic data structure defines an individual record to be the first record from the plurality of first records, an associated second record in the plurality of second records, an associated third record in a plurality of third records, the output rate, the first rate associated with the first records, and the second rate associated with the second records, and wherein the electronic structural relationship controls at least some operations of the second computer with respect to the second records in the in accordance with the output rate;

receive data transmitted to first records in the first records;

receive, from the second computer, a plurality of the data activity, wherein the data activity involves one or more third computers; and

wherein the first computer generates data for the third records using the data from the received data activity and the second rate and stores the generated data in the third records; and

the second computer configured to create, store, and administer the second records;

wherein the first computer is configured to update the data in the plurality of third records in response to the received data activity;

wherein the first computer is further configured to, in response to the updating, transmit the data update to the second records in the plurality of second records;

wherein the first computer is further configured to process the first records in the plurality of first records by applying the data model to data transmitted to the corresponding first record, generate a corresponding threshold data limit for the third record or a period of time, wherein the corresponding data is generated as a function of transmitted data and the second rate, and transmits, over a network, the second rate and the threshold data limit for the third records to the second computer; and

wherein the second computer is further configured to receive data from one or more third computers in connection with the records in the second records, and process the received data by applying the data in the records in the third records and the threshold data limit, and control the second computer to stop the processing when the threshold data limit is reached.
