A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11861690B2) outlines a system for transferring funds based on a predetermined amount set by the user. The system involves a processor directing a communication module to provide users with the option of setting up automatic fund transfers between different payment channels. These transfers are executed based on access parameters, including security data or user identification data, received from authorized entities. An implementation module facilitates the automatic transfer of funds, reflecting the owner's consent and knowledge, and allowing for online bill payments to be converted into card transactions. The system includes various modules such as an access module, input module, and filter module to ensure secure and efficient fund transfers.

Furthermore, the patent details a method for transferring funds based on user-set amounts, involving storing funds in initial storage locations and enabling automatic transfers between payment channels. The method includes receiving access parameters from authorized entities, such as owners or surrogates, and executing fund transfers through an implementation module. Users can transfer funds from their checking accounts to card services, with the system ensuring the security and relevance of transferred data. The method also covers scenarios where users may or may not have electronic payment accounts with billers, providing flexibility in fund transfer options while maintaining security measures throughout the process.
