主权项

1. A system for a payment variance notification on program contracts, wherein the payment variance notification system communicates with a program administrator and a financial institution computer via a network, and wherein the system comprises a memory storing an instruction set and data related to an authorized program payment having a load amount set by the program administrator and a processor for running the instruction set, the processor being in communication with the memory and the network, wherein the processor is operative to facilitate reconciliation and payment deviation notifications to the program administrator by the operations of:
receiving a first transaction identifier for the authorized program payment; receiving a second transaction identifier matching the first transaction identifier and a payment transaction amount from the financial institution computer; comparing the load amount and the payment transaction amount; transmitting a substantially contemporaneous payment variance notification to the program administrator responsive to detecting multiple payment transactions against the payment limit load amount, wherein the detection of a second or subsequent payment transaction triggers a transmission of a first notification to the program administrator, the first notification comprising the first transaction identifier and the payment transaction amount; and detecting refunds against settled payment transactions corresponding to the load amount, wherein the detection of the refund triggers a transmission of a second notification to the program administrator, the second notification comprising the first transaction identifier and the refund amount.
