Abstract

L'invention concerne un système permettant à une compagnie partenaire d'établir une connexion en ligne directe avec des clients qui souhaitent acheter les actions d'une compagnie. Le système comprend un système d'achat d'actions direct, un agent de transfert/ administrateur de plan, et un système de paiement. Le client/investisseur accède au système par l'intermédiaire du système d'achat d'actions direct. Ledit système d'achat d'actions direct envoie les communications de la compagnie partenaire par courrier électronique et les communications nécessaires ou autorisées par un organisme de réglementation quelconque, et permet au client/investisseur d'acheter des actions de ladite compagnie partenaire. Une fois que l'investisseur a cliqué sur une liaison du système d'achat d'actions direct, ledit système obtient des informations d'inscription de l'investisseur, et envoie ces informations à l'agent de transfert. Ledit agent de transfert traite les demandes d'inscription, et renvoie les informations d'action du marché libre au système d'achat d'actions direct. Lors du traitement des demandes d'inscription, le système supporte une grande variété de mécanismes de paiement différents, et reçoit les investissements et les commissions directement de la banque de l'investisseur ou d'un autre compte d'une institution financière.
