Description
- This application is a continuation of and claims priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/807,219 filed on 23 Jul. 2015 entitled “Method for Retail On-Line Account Opening” which itself claims priority to U.S. application Ser. No. 12/540,179, filed 12 Aug. 2009 and entitled “System and Method for Retail Online Account Opening”, which itself claims priority to each of the following provisional applications: “System and Method for Business Online Account Opening”, Ser.

No. 61/088,239 filed 12 Aug. 2008. The present application incorporates by reference in its entirety each of the above-listed applications. Additionally, this application hereby incorporates herein by reference, in their entirety, each of the following applications that were concurrently filed with U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/540,179: “System and Method for Business Online Account Opening”, Ser. No. 12/540,188 filed 12 Aug. 2009; and “System and Method for an Electronic Lending System”, Ser. No. 12/540,153 filed 12 Aug. 2009.
- Increasingly the public is going on-line for a variety of transactions and information. More than 30% of the population has personal computers and modems. Furthermore, over 60% of people with bank accounts have personal computers and modems. At the same time the number of people subscribing and using on-line services is greater than 40 million, and this number is growing at an exponential rate.
- As the public uses computers with a greater frequency, more financial transactions are being automated and performed via computer. There is good motivation to bank on-line. On-line banking provides convenience, safety, cost savings, and potentially new types of services not readily or conveniently available via in-person banking. Such potentially new services include access to superior up-to-the minute information, on-line investment clubs, information filters, and search agents.
- With the increase in the number of financial transactions performed on-line, the convenience and cost-savings of banking on-line also increases. Additionally new and more powerful methods are being developed for protecting the security of financial transactions performed on-line. The result is that convenience, cost savings and enhanced security have combined to make on-line financial services more useful and effective, thereby driving the development of newer and more integrated services. More sophisticated financial systems that offer greater integration and a high degree of user control enable on-line users to synthesize, monitor, and analyze a wide array of financial transactions and personal financial data.
- Currently, methods exist for users to perform a variety of on-line financial transactions. These methods, however, fail to offer on-line account opening including qualification verifications. For example, users may bank on-line, thereby enabling performance of transactions, such as transfers from one account to another, but must already have the established account in the financial institution.
- In view of the increase of electronic commerce in the market place the present subject matter discloses a unique on-line account opening method. The disclosed subject matter enables a stream-lined entry to an on-line banking presence.
- A method is needed in which retail customers may establish an on-line account, be enrolled in financial offerings as a result of qualification and verification of the qualification based on a set of criteria.
- In order to obviate the deficiencies of the prior art, the present disclosure presents a novel method for interfacing with a financial institution using a computer interface. In the method, a customer request is received from a customer that has reached a predetermined webpage of the financial institution using a computer network. A first content is presented to the customer, and a first input is received from the customer. A first set of information is received from the customer and presented back to the customer for review.
- In the method, a second set of information is further received from the customer, the second set of information including the first set of information and any modification to the first set of information made by the customer upon their review. The terms and conditions are presented to the customer and an application is received from the customer. The second set of information is also verified.
- In the method, the customer's credit score is determined using a first set of predetermined criteria and a set of account options is presented to the customer, the account options presented being based at least in part on the verification of the second set of information and the customer's credit score. A second input is received from the customer; the second input is verified and it is determined if the customer is to be enrolled for a debit card or Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) Card. The customer is processed for debit card or ATM card enrollment at a predefined level based at least on one or more predetermined factors.
- Also in the method, it is determined if the customer is to be enrolled in a on-line banking program. If the customer is approved, the account numbers at the financial institution are reserved. The customer is then presented via a communication from the financial institution with information related to the customer's approved products accounts and/or enrollments.
- Another method is also presented for interfacing with a financial institution using a computer interface. The method includes receiving an interface request from the customer having reached a webpage of the financial institution, presenting a group of products to the customer where the products are a function of the access path used by the customer. A choice is received from the customer along with a first set of identification information. The method further includes a review of the first set of identification information and if not verified, a request for a second set of identification information is made. If the customer identification information is verified, a predetermined client identification profile (CIP) is evaluated.
- If the evaluation of the CIP is acceptable, the customer's personal information is displayed for the customer and a determination of whether a co-applicant is associated with the customer and, if so, co-applicant identification information is collected and verified. If the evaluation of the CIP is not acceptable a third set of customer identification information is further requested.
- Also in the method, if the second or third set of customer identification information is required and received, determining from the information if the customer is located within an operating areas of the financial institution and, if not, obtaining a secondary residence location from the customer, a determination is also made of whether there is a co-applicant associated with the customer, if so, a set of co-applicant identification information is collected and verified. Terms and conditions of the selected products are presented to the customer and an application is received from the customer for the chosen product or products.
- These and many other objects and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art to which the invention pertains from a perusal of the claims, the appended drawings, and the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments.

FIG. 1 illustrates a process in which a customer may open an on-line retail account via a computer network, e.g., the Internet, by accessing and exchanging information using the website of a financial institution. The customer enters the system by accessing or being directed to the institutions' website (webpage) as shown inBlock 101. In either event, a request for the website is received by the financial institution's server or proxy server. The customer is presented a list of products such as a checking account, savings account, an on-line only savings account or brokerage account or any of a number of financial products offered by the institution. These financial products may also include a deposit account, which may be in the form of a certificate of deposit, individual retirement account, retirement account, a 401(k) account, tax-deferred college savings account or combination thereof. The selection of products presented to the customer may also be a function of path used by the customer to arrive at the website. For example, if the customer accessed the website via a hyperlink on another site directed to retirement, only the retirement accounts may be presented, or the entire scope of products is presented but the retirement accounts may be highlighted. In this manner, the most relevant products based on the customer's path may be brought to the customer's attention. - Following
FIG. 1 , the customer may then select a product from the products presented as shown inBlock 102. A first set of information is requested of and received from the customer as shown inBlock 103. Upon receiving the first set of information (customer's information), the information is verified. The information may include the name, his/her physical address, date of birth, SSN or part thereof, contact information such as phone numbers and email addresses, citizenship, and information regarding the characteristics of the identification (e.g. type, ID Number, State of issuance, issue date and expiration date), user name, password or other identifying indicia/code that enables the identification of the customer or links the customer to the customer's established account(s). - The first set of information is verified as shown in
Block 104. This verification may include presenting back to the customer for review the first set of information and receiving a second set of information which includes any corrections to the first set of information the customer has made, the second set of information may also include information regarding a co-applicant. The website may allow and request the customer to annotate, modify or otherwise change incorrect or incomplete information upon its presentation to the customer. The customer is also provided with a set of terms and conditions which may govern the use of the website, on-line banking, application process, liabilities, etc, as shown inBlock 105. The terms and conditions may also include a customer check-off which may be required to continue and ensure they have been at least noticed, if not reviewed by the customer. The terms and conditions may include an electronic disclosure, a retail bank services agreement, a state pricing guide, a corporate privacy notice, and a tax identification number certification as well as others common to the industry. An application for a product may be submitted by and received from the customer as shown inBlock 106. The customer identification is then verified inBlock 107. - Still in
FIG. 1 , if the customer identification is not verified indecision Block 108, the process ends or an exception may be granted as shown inBlock 109 ofFIG. 1 . If the customer ID is verified, the customer's credit score which is representative of the customer's credit worthiness is determined and verified as shown inBlock 110. The credit score is determined using a second set of predetermined criteria. The criteria includes whether the customer is a new or existing client of the financial institution, has customer been identified as fraudster or abuser by the financial institution; has the customer been identified as a fraudster by a third party or another financial institution and does the customer identity verification score exceed a predetermined threshold. Of course additional criteria reflective of the customer's credit worthiness may also be applied. - Still referring to
FIG. 1 , a decision on the customer's credit is made as shown inBlock 111. If the customer's credit is not approved, an exception may be made or the application process may be terminated as shown inBlock 112. The process of ending the application or granting an exception is discussed later. If the customer's credit is accepted, customer account options are presented as shown inBlock 113. - The account options presented may be based at least in part on the verification the second set of information and the information regarding the customer's credit score. The account options presented may also be a function of a set of risk evaluation rules. These rules may include decisions on a social security number evaluation, an identity theft evaluation, a retail indicator evaluation, a previous inquires evaluation, a closure summary evaluation and a closure details evaluation. The decisions may be go/no-go or may be qualitative in nature. For example, if the social security number does not match the name, a no-go decision may be rendered, whereas the previous inquires evaluation may result in a go/no-go decision or a qualified approval dependent upon another condition.
- Upon the selection of the account options, funding options may then be presented to the customer as shown in
Block 114. The funding options presented may advantageously be based on the account options (products) selected by the customer. - The funding options are the methods in which the account options are to be created or funded. These options may include sending of a check, making a deposit at the financial institution or an affiliate, transfer of funds from another external financial institution or a transfer from a pre-existing account at the financial institution. In addition, other information may be requested from the customer for compliance purposes. The funding source may then be verified as shown in
Block 115 by presenting back to the customer all accounts, funding methods, source of initial funds and the amount originally entered. The customer may modify any of the funding information before finalizing and submitting the funding. The customer may then be qualified for a debit card (check card) or ATM card. - In
decision Block 116 it is determined whether the customer is to be enrolled for a debit card or ATM card. The decision to be enrolled in a debit card may be determined as a function of the information previously supplied by the customer. If the customer is to be enrolled for a debit card, information regarding the enrollment is collected and a level of enrollment is determined as shown inBlock 117. The level of enrollment may be based on at least one or more predetermined factors based upon risk factors or financial factors, for example a low credit score would lead to a lower level while substantial assets may advocate for a higher level of enrollment. In addition, the status of other accounts may also be used to determine the level of enrollment for the debit card or ATM card. The customer may be advantageously allowed to select a personal identification number (PIN) for the debit card or the ATM card. The PIN may also be automatically selected by the institution. It is next determined if the customer is to be enrolled in on-line banking as shown inBlock 118. The on-line banking program if selected reserves account numbers as shown inBlock 119. - The customer is presented with a final presentation including customer information related to the customer's selected products, accounts and or enrollments reflective of the status of their on-line banking opening as shown in
Block 120. The final presentation may present a summary of the product offerings selected by the customer. The name on the debit card and ATM cards, authorization level may also be displayed for all debit cards enrolled. Accounts having overdraft protection selected, may also be identified along the overdraft account information. Bank Card offers that were accepted may be displayed as well as other third party offers accepted by the customer. The nearest branch location and other information a new client would find useful may be displayed as well. Contact information including phone number, addresses, email addresses and web pages may be presented to the customer during final presentation. - Additional products and offers may be communicated to the customer in the final summary, these products and offers may be only tangentially related or provided by third parties, these advertisements may also be presented based on the information collected during the on-line process and may be selected by the financial institution. Selection by the financial institution prevents the unwanted disclosure of private information but still allows the advertising to be marketed based on financial status. The customer may also be given the opportunity to order checks and other products related to the opening of the account. For this additional product offering, the customer may be connected to another site. Upon fulfillment of the terms and conditions of enrollment and funding, the on-line banking opening may be complete as evidenced by a thank you or other correspondence sent to the customer as shown in
Block 121. Telephone assistance may also be available while in the process of on-line banking enrollment, to further aid the process. Telephone support may also be accessed after the opening process ends. - A
flow chart 100B is shown inFIG. 1B . The flow chart shows additional steps that may be performed by the financial institution in conjunction with the steps shown inFIG. 1A . These steps are typically considered back room operations that are transparent to the customer. From the information gained during the application process discussed above, the customer's identification information may be augmented or updated as shown inBlock 122. A risk analysis is performed on the customer to determine if the customer's activities present an unacceptable or acceptable risk as shown inBlock 123. If the risk analysis yields an unfavorable result indicating the customer is high risk, the account may not be opened on-line as shown inBlock 124. In such a case the customer may be required to appear in person to facilitate the account opening. In addition, a fraud analysis is performed on the customer inBlock 125. This analysis may include determining if the customer is listed as a fraudster on an internal or external database. The fraud analysis may also include evaluation of the customer's provided information, such as whether the SSN is associated with a person who is deceased, or if the SSN was issued prior to the customer's reported birth date, other checks such as determining if the mailing address is associated with a prison or other notorious entity would also be advantageous. If the fraud analysis presents red flags or warnings the account may be prevented from being opened on-line as discussed above. - New accounts for the customer may be opened based on the customer's approved products, accounts, and/or enrollments at the financial institution as shown in
Block 126. In the particular example the new account, added inBlock 126, includes a demand deposit account (DDA) and a savings account (SAV). The financial institution also processes the on-line banking enrollment, if approved, as shown inBlock 127 and initiates a fund transfer to the new customer account as shown inBlock 128. Along with the funds transfer, the customer is sent an automatic clearing house ACH or electronic funds transfer EFT disclosure as required inBlock 129. InBlock 130, the new account or accounts are linked to an overdraft account such as a savings account, credit card, or line of credit. The debit card or ATM card is also linked to the new account or accounts as shown inBlock 131. The credit card offers that are accepted by the customer are ordered from a card management system which may be internal or part of a third party financial institution as shown inBlock 132 and the fulfillment information is processed inBlock 133. Upon funding of the new customer account, a communication, such as an email, SMS, text message, tweet, posting, letter, phone call or other type is sent to the customer to indicate the funding as shown inBlock 134. -
FIG. 2 shows amethod 200 of obtaining an on-line application. The customer enters the system inBlock 201, where promotional codes and Company names associated with the financial institution inBlocks website Block 202. Other favorable indicia for, example, Member of the Institute of Credit Management (MICM) 205 and/or Member of FDIC also may be included on the introduction page. The promotional codes and company names as noted previously and even the additional indicia may be a function of the path by which the customer arrived at the financial institution's website as well as the products offered. - The products offered on the website may also include more or less detailed descriptions as well as the cost, rates and duration periods as shown in
Block 207. This information may be on the introduction page or accessible from a selectable pop up window or hyperlink. The customer's product selection is made and received by the financial institution or server as shown inBlock 206. - In
FIG. 2 , following receipt of the customer's product selection the customer is authenticated as shown inBlock 208, the authentication may advantageously include the collection of customer identification information, as discussed previously. If the customer successfully passes the authentication as shown indecision Block 209, a predetermined client identification profile (CIP) for the customer is evaluated as shown inBlock 210. The predetermined client identification profile is determined internally from internal and external information such as information from LexisNexis™ products. If the evaluation is acceptable the customer's personal information is displayed on the customer's viewing device as shown inBlock 211 and attention is then turned to that of a co-applicant if one is determined, as shown indecision Block 212. Information is collected on the co-applicant inBlock 213 and that information is verified as shown inBlock 214. Absent a co-applicant the terms and conditions associated with the products, website and on-line accounts are presented to the customer as shown inBlock 215 and the customer submits the application for the selected products as shown inBlock 216. Generally, the co-applicant is subjected to similar checks as the customer. - If, however, the customer does not pass the customer authentication in
decision Block 209, then an additional set of information (INFO1) is requested and entered by the customer. Additionally, customers using a telephone to create the on-line account may also be requested to provide this additional set of information as the webpage authentication process is bypassed. Additional information (INFO2) is also requested if the CIP is found not acceptable indecision Block 210, further processing is described with respect to the CIP outcome inFIG. 3 later. The additional information requested may be identical in both cases. Upon receipt of the additional information, INFO1 or INFO2, a determination is made on whether the customer is located within an operating area of the financial institution or within the financial institution's geographic footprint as shown inBlock 219. If not, secondary residence information is requested and obtained from the customer, in either case a determination of whether there is a co-applicant is made indecision Block 221. If there is a co-applicant, their information is collected and verified inBlocks Block 215 and an application is submitted as shown inBlock 216, as discussed previously. The terms and conditions may include an electronic disclosure, a retail bank services agreement, a state pricing guide, a corporate privacy notice, a personal privacy notice and a tax identification number certification as well as others common to the industry.FIG. 2 also shows that the additional information, co-applicant information and secondary residence information may be edited by the customer any time prior to submission of the application. - Turning to
FIG. 3 , an alternative orcomplementary method 300 tomethod 200 inFIG. 2 is shown. The method begins following the determination of whether the customer has a good CIP as shown indecision Block 310. If the customer has a good CIP, attention is turned to whether there is a co-applicant. If there is no co-applicant indicated in decision Block 318-10, then an application may be submitted. The process for a co-applicant will be discussed shortly. A determination that the customer does not have a good CIP inBlock 310 results in an evaluation of a first verification index as shown in Block 318-1. If the first index is found acceptable in decision Block 318-2, then the customer is queried with one or a series of questions as shown in Block 318-3. The customer's answers are then verified and a determination of whether they are, or almost are acceptable is made in decision Block 318-4. If they are acceptable a determination of whether there is a co-applicant is undertaken in Block 318-10. If the answers are not acceptable then a determination on whether the customer is an existing client is undertaken as shown in Block 318-7. A third outcome may stem from decision Block 318-4, the answers may almost be acceptable. In the case of almost acceptable answers, the customer is queried a second time as shown in Block 318-5 and a yes or no determination of whether these second set of answers are acceptable. If they are not, a determination of whether the customer is an existing client is undertaken in Block 318-7. If the second set of answers are acceptable, a determination of whether there is a co-applicant is undertaken in Block 318-4. Continuing with Block 318-4, if there is no co-applicant then an application may be submitted following a presentation of the terms and condition. If there is a co-applicant in Block 318-4, then a second verification index is evaluated as shown in Block 318-11. If the second verification index is found acceptable in decision Block 318-12 then an application may be submitted, otherwise a determination of whether the customer is an existing client is made in decision Block 318-7. A negative decision reached in Block 318-7 indicating the customer is not an existing client may lead to a termination of the on-line process as shown in Block 318-8, whereas a positive decision from Block 318-7 may lead to a pending status, where approval is subject to a review process as shown in Block 318-9. This additional review process may advantageously include review of the past and current relationship between the financial institution and the customer, as well as other considerations related to the customer's client status. - For example, if the name, address, phone number and SSN match, a score reflecting a high matching comparison is given, whereas when one or more of these do not match, a score reflecting a lower matching comparison is applied. The customer is queried regarding answers related to his/her identity for verification. Questions in the query may include for example information typically known only to the individual, such as mother's maiden name, previous address, banking accounts etc.
- Each verification index represents evaluations using a particular set or area of information. The sets or areas of information may or may not be mutually exclusive. One verification index may be based on information which includes searches drawn from public records and directories. Another verification index may be based on the applicant information, for example, name, address, Social Security Number (SSN) and contact information. Yet another verification index may be based on past relationships between the customer and financial institutions. These verification indices may be performed internal by the financial institution or by a third party. The verification indexes may be compared to a predetermined threshold to determine if it is acceptable.
-
FIG. 4 illustrates amethod 400 tied to whether a demand deposit account (DDA) is selected by the customer or not. As shown inFIG. 4 , a determination that a DDA has been selected fromBlock 401 may lead to determining a first set of verification data as shown inBlock 402. The first set of verification data may include information derived from an third party or held internally by the institution. This first set of verification data may be obtained internally or from a third party such as Equifax™ or ChexSystems™ for example. The first set of verification data is evaluated inBlock 403. If the first set of verification data is not acceptable or a DDA was not selected inBlock 401, a second set of verification data is determined from another internal database or another of the third party providers. If the second set of verification data is not acceptable as shown further downFIG. 4 in Block 406 a determination is made whether the customer is an existing client inBlock 410.
