Establishing relationships between user accounts based on account identifiers
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11928138B2) outlines a method for establishing relationships between user accounts in an account-based system. The method involves receiving account association request messages from user devices, identifying source and target account identifiers, and determining matches between them. The relationship between the accounts is established without revealing sensitive account information, such as bank account details, to the other user. This process involves adding entries for each user account to a list of payees associated with the other user's account. The patent emphasizes the importance of maintaining user privacy and security during the account association process.
Furthermore, the patent details the transmission of account association query messages, identity verification processes, and the use of mobile phones as user devices. The method also involves receiving account identification data, such as email addresses or phone numbers, to facilitate the association between user accounts. The patent extends to apparatus and computer-readable mediums containing instructions for executing the account association method. Overall, the patent aims to streamline the process of linking user accounts in a secure and privacy-conscious manner, particularly in the context of bank accounts.
