TL;DR: In this article, a customer establishes funds transfer static data containing an identification number corresponding to a customer ID, and funds transfer information containing bank account or credit card information; completes a customer transaction to the point of payment; provides the customer ID at a transaction point; and, in response to a single action, transmits payment input data containing the customer identity, payment amount, and transaction date to a finds transfer data and processing host.
Abstract: An electronic payment system and method allowing payment by a single action over any electronic finds transfer network and using any pre-determined local or international electronic funds transfer and settlement network. The customer establishes funds transfer static data containing an identification number corresponding to a customer ID, and funds transfer information containing bank account or credit card information; completes a customer transaction to the point of payment; provides the customer ID at a transaction point; and, in response to a single action, transmits payment input data containing the customer ID, payment amount, and transaction date to a finds transfer data and processing host. The funds transfer data and processing host generates finds transfer data by adding finds transfer static data and finds transfer status data to the payment input data; monitors the status data to decide if payment is due; and generates a finds transfer instruction when the status data indicate the payment is due.
TL;DR: In this paper, a host computer system that tracks financial transactions made at each merchant location or store and uses this information to reconcile accounts across different entities is presented. But, the host computer periodically performs a net settlement analysis of the transactional data received from each entity's stores.
Abstract: System and methods for facilitating the settlement of financial accounts across different entities utilize a host computer system that tracks financial transactions made at each merchant location or store and uses this information to reconcile accounts across different entities. In one embodiment, the host computer periodically performs a net settlement analysis of the transactional data received from each entity's stores. A request is prepared to transfer funds from each entity's bank account having a positive net settlement amount into a central entity bank account. A request is also prepared to transfer funds into each entity's bank account having a negative net settlement amount from the central entity bank account.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe two approaches that have been pursued to strengthen or secure many existing payments system arrangements based on net settlement and explore why private-sector financial institutions often prefer to upgrade and secure existing net settlement systems, despite central bank preferences for the latter.
Abstract: Wholesale payments and settlement systems in G-10 countries have undergone significant change in recent years. Notably, central banks have sought to increase the safety and reliability of these systems. In this article, William R. Emmons describes two approaches that have been pursued. Significant progress has been achieved in strengthening (or "securing") many existing payments system arrangements based on net settlement. In addition, many new gross settlement systems have been created, and existing ones have been improved. The article also explores why private-sector financial institutions often prefer to upgrade and secure existing net settlement systems, despite central bank preferences for the latter.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the role of payment systems in the economy and the structure and economics of the payment system, and present a broad overview of the current payment system landscape.
