Abstract

Providing earlier funds availability or a line of credit for a deposit or other monetary package reported to be in a cash supply chain. Later, when the deposit physically arrives at a bank vault, then the actual amount of the deposit is reconciled against the accelerated funds or line of credit previously made available. The amount of accelerated funds or line of credit made available may be based upon the amount scheduled to be deposited, as well as a risk score for the customer making the deposit and/or for the transaction being made.
