A DIRECT STOCK PURCHASE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING THE SAME

摘要

A system that allows a partner company to establish a direct on-line connection with customers who want to purchase the company's equity. The system includes a direct stock purchase system, a transfer agent/plan administrator, and a payment system. The customer/investor accesses the system through the direct stock purchase system. The direct stock purchase system e-mails the partner company's communications and communications required or permitted by any Regulatory Body to investors and enables customers/investors to purchase stocks from the partner company. After the investor clicks on direct stock purchase system's link, the system obtains enrollment information from the investor and forwards the information to the transfer agent. The transfer agent processes the enrollment requests and returns stock information from the Open Market to direct stock purchase system. Upon processing the enrollment requests, the system accommodates a variety of different payment mechanisms and obtains investments and fees directly from the investor's bank or another account with a financial institution.
