Abstract
The present invention relates to a system and method for confirming trade transactions via the Internet and/or private network to e-mail addresses. An encrypted electronic envelope and a trade confirmation document contained therein are transmitted to a customer. The customer provides a personal password to decrypt the electronic envelope to open the envelope and view the trade confirmation document. The method of transmitting the electronic envelope and the trade confirmation document provides the customer a secure and convenient manner to receive the trade confirmation. Further, after the customer has opened and closed the electronic envelope, a return receipt is transmitted back to the trade confirmation system to provide immediate notice to the system that the electronic envelope was opened and closed. The present invention also includes an exception handler subsystem for handling errors associated with the trade confirmation system.
