- step 505 when the customer 30 is satisfied with the commands that he/she has made as shown in the consolidated purchase order summary at step 502, the control sequence passes to step 505 where the order is submitted to the currency exchange system 42 for execution.
- step 506 several options as to payment methods may be selected by the customer 30.
- an electronic screen be provided to the customer 30 at step 506 which includes a prompt to select one of a plurality of payment methods, for example, a business
- DDA 508 a consumer DDA 510, a credit card of the financial services provider 40 at step 512, a credit card from another entity 514, or a bank (e.g., debit) card 513. It is noted that other payment options may also be utilized, such as debiting a savings account, a debit card, etc.
- the control sequence passes to step 516 where the business branch selection information for the business DDA is obtained.
- the currency exchange system defaults to require that the order be delivered to a branch location. Accordingly, when a business DDA is selected, it is preferred that the customer 30 not receive a prompt to select a delivery option.
- the control sequence passes to the complete purchase order summary step 518 where the customer 30 may again view the consolidated purchase order summary as well as the payment method, delivery option, etc.
- the control sequence passes to step 520 where the consumer DDA account information is obtained. Thereafter, (or concurrently therewith) the customer 30 is preferably presented with an electronic screen which prompts the customer 30 to select from one or more delivery options (e.g., delivery at the customers address of record, the customer's home address, the customer's office address, and/or the address of the financial services provider 40). As discussed above, if the cost of any one transaction or the total cost of all transactions exceeds the threshold (e.g., $1000.00) the customer 30 may be required to take delivery of the foreign currency and/or travelers checks at a branch location (determined at step 522).
- delivery options e.g., delivery at the customers address of record, the customer's home address, the customer's office address, and/or the address of the financial services provider 40.
- the threshold e.g. $1000.00
- Maps and directions are obtained at step 522 which assist the back office in locating the delivery location.
- maps and directions may be accessed by the customer 30 to assist in finding a location at which to pick up the foreign currency or travelers checks.
- the customer 30 is provided with the option to modify the delivery, payment method, or transaction commands previously made (steps 518 A, 518B).
- control sequence passes to a confirmation of order step 524.
- the customer 30 may be requested to provide some indication that he or she agrees with and verifies that the purchase order should be executed (e.g., by way of icon, input to dialog box, etc.). Thereafter, the customer 30 may be presented with a so-called "thank you page" at step 526.
- the commands provided by the customer 30 and confirmed at step 524 are passed, via electronic transmission, to a so-called back office 22 (Fig. 1). Preferably, this is accomplished using a secure, structured transmission method such as e-mail and the information is arranged in a format consistent with receiving commands over the Internet 24.
- This information includes the purchase order details, delivery method, delivery address, payment method, etc.
- the commands may be contained in one or more electronic files, where each file contains one or more fields in which the order information, delivery method, delivery address, payment method, etc., are contained.
- Figs. 1 and 4 illustrate the flow of information of the customer's order through the currency exchange system 42 to the back office 22 where the order is executed and delivered.
- the currency exchange system 42 may temporarily store the one or more files containing the electronic data of the customer's order in the database 44 by way of the database server 45. Thereafter, by way of a batch file or other mechanism, the one or more data files may be transferred to the back office 22 through interface 47 for execution. It is preferred that the data file(s) be delivered from the currency exchange system 42 to the back office 22 substantially instantaneously such that the order may begin processing and be delivered quickly to the customer 30.
- the electronic data file(s) are preferably delivered to a customer service management interface 22a within a customer service organization.
- the customer service management interface 22a preferably is capable of re-formatting the electronic data file(s) from the format consistent with the Internet (e.g., NT format and/or TCPIP) to any one of a plurality of formats suitable for further processing and delivery of the transaction currency.
- the conversion of data format is preferably fully automated and converts the data file(s) from an Internet based (e.g., NT) format to some intermediary format (e.g., Unix) without human intervention.
- the automated re-formatting function of the invention is particularly advantageous because other manual and automated processes in a financial institution typically operate using non-Internet based formats (such as windows and/or DOS). For example, substantially all processes for automatic debiting of DDA accounts, which utilize an automated clearing house (ACH), execute on non-Internet based operating systems. Similarly, substantially all processes for credit card transactions execute on non-Internet based operating systems. Thus, once the data file(s) have been converted from the Internet based operating format to another format (e.g., windows, DOS, etc.) existing, preferably automated, processes may be readily invoked in the back office 22.
- non-Internet based formats such as windows and/or DOS.
- Error checking is also preferably provided using finite edit rules on the fields of the data file(s).
- the data file(s) may be seamlessly merged with other order files received, for example, via facsimile, telephone, mail order, etc., and, therefore, may be further processed in substantially the same way as those other order files.
- mainframe format or other back office format
- other order files received, for example, via facsimile, telephone, mail order, etc., and, therefore, may be further processed in substantially the same way as those other order files.
