Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media configured to facilitate execution of transactions via a money transfer network are disclosed. During execution of the transactions, tokenized identity information may be utilized when exchanging transaction data between geographically distributed nodes of the money transfer network and the transactions are recorded to a distributed ledger maintained by the nodes. Smart contracts may be utilized to digitally sign transactions at various stages of transaction processing, such as at different stages of regulatory compliance validation and to authenticate the validity of the requested transaction (e.g., prevent double-spends). Utilizing tokenized identity information may reduce the likelihood that personally identifiable information (PII data) is obtained by or inadvertently provided to unauthorized third parties or systems. Additionally, the distributed ledger may record information in immutable records, thereby increasing the reliability and trustworthiness (e.g., for auditing purposes) of the data stored on the distributed ledger.
Systems and methods for implementing blockchain-based money transfer transactions between a sending party and a receiving party are disclosed. The money transfer transactions may utilize one or more cryptocurrency transactions. The disclosed systems and methods may identify optimum cryptocurrencies and/or cryptocurrency exchanges to be used to facilitate the money transfer transactions, and may utilize aggregation techniques and/or forecasting techniques to more efficiently handle money transfer transactions. The disclosed systems and methods may also implement various authentication and identification techniques to improve the security and compliance of money transfer transactions.

A computer system in a money transfer transaction. A request is received from a sender on a send computer to send a money transfer having a send amount. The sender is prompted on the send computer to select one or more parameters associated with the money transfer, the one or more parameters comprising money transfer receiver information including a receiver location. Money transfer fees associated with the money transfer are analyzed for a plurality of receive locations proximate the receiver location based on the selected one or more parameters. A receive location offering a lowest money transfer fee is selected from the plurality of receive locations. The send amount and fee for the selected receive location are collected from the sender. Information related to the money transfer is then stored, including the selected one or more parameters and the receive location, in a money transfer server.
A computer system is operated for a receiver-staged money transfer transaction. A staged transaction is received from a receiver and includes one or more items requested by the receiver. Information about one or more senders identified to receive the staged transaction is then received, and the staged transaction is sent to the one or more senders. Approval notifications are received from the one or more senders indicating the one or more items in the staged transaction that the one or more senders agree to fulfill. The requested items fulfilled by the one or more senders are then released to the receiver.
Systems and methods for facilitating cash payments for online transactions are provided. In some embodiments, a transaction is initiated online with a retailer where a user indicates that payment will be made for the transaction using cash. The user may then complete payment of the transaction with a cash payment service establishment using transaction identification information given to the user.

GLOBAL COMPLIANCE PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR A MONEY TRANSFER SYSTEM
A money transfer system (10) includes a rules database (16) including information representative of transaction rules, a customer database (14) including information representative of customers' transaction histories, a transaction processing system (12) connected to the databases (14, 16), and an administrator port (18). At least some of the transaction rules include an aggregation threshold. The transaction processing system (12) includes point of entry ports (22), a customer identifier (24), a rules coordinator (26), an aggregation engine (28), and a transaction rules service (30). The point of entry ports (22) receive transaction requests and provide transaction responses. Based on the transaction requests, the customer identifier (24) identifies customers and the rules coordinator (26) determines applicable transaction rules. The aggregation engine (28) determines aggregation values as a function of customers' transaction histories. The transaction rules service (30) determines whether the transaction request meets applicable transaction rules, generates transaction responses, causes the aggregation engine (28) to determine aggregation values, generates transaction responses, and updates the customer database (14)
A method of performing money transfer send transactions begins with receiving registration information from a customer, including customer identification and qualification information and payment source identification and performing verification of at least a portion of the identification and qualification information and the payment source identification and upon sufficient verification building a distribution profile. The method proceeds by receiving from the customer and storing in the distribution profile send transaction specifications for staging each of one or more proposed send transactions, and receiving a send initiation instruction with associated customer authentication data and responsive thereto identifying a distribution profile and at least one send transaction specification to be executed. Responsive to the send initiation instruction, the method verifies the authentication data and the current status of the payment source identified in the distribution profile and upon sufficient verification, initiates a send transaction according to the at least one send transaction specification.
Methods and systems of processing a plurality of payments. One method can include receiving the plurality of payments from a plurality of customers, the plurality of payments payable to at least one receiver, determining a first set of payments included in the plurality of payments to automatically accept based on validation parameters, determining a second set of payments included in the plurality of payments to reject based on the validation parameters, determining a third set of payments included in the plurality of payments to conditionally accept based on the validation parameters, and electronically prompting at least one user to accept or reject payments included in the third set of payments.
A method of performing a money transfer send transaction comprises receiving information at a call center from a sender for a send transaction, including a proposed send amount, and responsive to the information from the sender received at the call center, building a staging record for the send transaction. The staging record includes compliance data responsive to the proposed send amount and to compliance rules. A data center receives information from an agent provided by the sender to the agent, with the information including a retrieval key to identify the staging record, a requested send amount and agent location information. Responsive to the requested send amount and the agent location information, the data center identifies in the compliance rules at least one applicable compliance window and tests the requested send transaction and compliance data in the staging record for consistency with the at least one applicable compliance window. Responsive to an affirmative test for consistency, the data center prompts the agent to collect from the sender payment of the requested send amount and any transaction fee and, responsive to the agent's confirmation of receipt of payment, prepares a send transaction record. Finally, the data center provides the agent a send transaction identifier for communication to the sender.
