Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de commande d'organisation de mise en forme destiné à mettre en forme une transaction financière électronique, impliquant un montant de transaction, entre un initiateur de la transaction et un destinataire de la transaction au moyen d'un intermédiaire parmi un certain nombre d'intermédiaires autorisés, qui présente un module de fourniture de premier code destiné à remettre un premier code à l'initiateur de la transaction, un module de réception de confirmation destiné à recevoir une confirmation d'un intermédiaire sélectionné auquel l'initiateur de la transaction a versé le montant de la transaction, et un module de notification de paiement destiné à signaler au destinataire de la transaction que l'initiateur de la transaction a versé le montant de la transaction. Le module de réception de confirmation est doté d'un récepteur de code de retour destiné à recevoir un code de retour de l'intermédiaire sélectionné. Un système de mise en forme de transactions financières électroniques est doté du dispositif de commande et d'une pluralité d'unités de fourniture d'avis de confirmation installées chez les intermédiaires et destinées à fournir un avis de confirmation au dispositif de commande d'organisation de mise en forme de façon à confirmer qu'un initiateur de la transaction a versé un montant d'une transaction. Le dispositif de commande permet également d'effectuer un remboursement d'un fournisseur de marchandises ou de services à un acheteur pour une transaction électronique ayant échoué, en faisant générer par un module de génération de bordereaux de remboursement un bordereau de remboursement destiné à l'acheteur pour présentation à une organisation de remboursement participante autorisée, grâce à quoi l'acheteur peut être remboursé du montant de l'achat concerné.
