FULL SERVICE TRADE SYSTEM

摘要

A system (figures 1 and 5) stores criteria (50) specified by a funder (figure 1) relating to trade transactions (900) for buyers and sellers (figures 1 and 5). The system (figures 1 and 5) compares the criteria (50) with a proposed purchase order (260) to determine whether the system (figures 1 and 5) can generate a payment guarantee (160) on behalf of the funder for the buyer to the seller. The system also compares subsequent documents (610, 620) relating to an original purchase order with the original purchase order to ensure that the terms of the purchase order are properly fulfilled (640). When the appropriate conditions for payment are met, the system issues a funds transfer instruction (880) to transfer payment from the buyer to the seller.
