A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11928656B1) outlines a system that includes a memory storing instructions, a database storing account information, user information, and account balances, and a processor executing operations in two modes. In the first mode, a mobile device is associated with an account, and a setup dashboard is provided for setting a threshold for the second mode. Once the account balance meets the threshold, the system switches to the second mode, enabling specific transaction controls and notifications. Users can manage default payments and exit the second mode when the account balance rises above the threshold.

The system also includes features such as toggle controls for canceling transactions, transferring funds between accounts, paying transactions, accelerating deposits, and obtaining personal loans. An application on a mobile device allows users to interact with the system, set thresholds, and manage transactions. The system predicts future account balances based on current balances and transactions, determining whether the account should be in the second mode. Notifications are sent to users regarding the mode status, and specific transaction controls are enabled or disabled accordingly. Overall, the system aims to provide users with a streamlined and efficient way to manage their accounts and transactions, ensuring control and flexibility in their financial activities.
