SYSTEMS FOR REAL-TIME INTERNATIONAL CONVERSIONS IN A PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION ENVIRONMENT

Abstract:

A system that provides for selection, at the onset of a resource event, between (i) a first resource event volume of a first resource type (i.e., a resource type associated with the resource-providing entity) and (ii) a second resource event volume of a second type (i.e., a resource type associated with the resource-receiving entity). The first resource event volume used in the selection is determined by applying a conversion rate to the second resource event volume near to or in conjunction with the initiation of the resource event. As a result, resource conversion occurs at the onset of the resource event as opposed to conventional processing which provides for the resource conversion at or near the conclusion of the resource event.
