摘要

A system and method of electronically funding a financial account is disclosed. The method includes the acts of providing an electronic funding application, electronically transmitting the electronic funding application to a customer-operated client, and entering financial data into the funding application of the customer-operated client. The financial data includes a magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) line, a currency amount, and an account identifier. The method further includes the acts of electronically transmitting the financial data to a server (35), validating that at least a portion of the entered financial data corresponds to the demand deposit account, converting the MICR line to an item compatible with an Automated Clearing House network, submitting the item and the currency to this work, and electronically transfering the currency from the demand deposit account to the financial account.
