CA 2295615

Systems and methods for automated payment involve utilizing consumer payment authorization, clearing, and settlement systems to allow a merchant to reduce or eliminate an amount owed to another entity for services, products, and/or cash advances provided to the merchant. After a customer identifier (e.g., a credit, debit, smart, charge, payment, etc. card account number) is accepted as payment from the customer, information related to the payment is forwarded to a merchant processor. The merchant processor acquires the information related to the payment, processes that information, and forwards at least a portion of the payment to a receiver as payment for at least a portion of the amount owed by the merchant. The receiver receives the portion of the payment forwarded by the merchant processor and applies that portion to the amount owed by the merchant to reduce or eliminate that outstanding amount.

L'invention concerne des systèmes et procédés de paiement automatisé faisant appel à des systèmes d'autorisation de prélèvements de consommateur, de compensation et de règlement pour permettre à un commerçant de réduire ou de supprimer une somme due à une autre entité pour des services, des produits et/ou des avances de fonds fournis au commerçant. Après l'acceptation d'un identificateur de consommateur (par exemple un numéro de compte de carte de crédit, de débit, à puce, de paiement, etc.) comme paiement par le consommateur, les données relatives au paiement sont transmises à un processeur commerçant. Le processeur commerçant acquiert les données relatives au paiement, les traite et transmet au moins une partie du paiement à un destinataire comme paiement d'au moins une partie de la somme due par le commerçant. Le destinataire reçoit la partie du paiement transmise par le processeur commerçant et transfère cette partie sur la somme due par le commerçant afin de réduire ou de supprimer le montant impayé.
