Abstract

A financial institution computer maintains one or more lists of account identifiers for accounts enrolled in a prioritized payment program and receives an automatic deposit associated with an account identifier for a first account enrolled in the prioritized payment program. The prioritized payment program includes pre-authorization of certain payment requests by select creditors. The financial institution computer generates prioritized payments from the first account to select creditors, responsive to one or more unfilled pre-authorized payment requests by the select creditors and then generates a sweep payment from the first account to an associated second account at a second financial institution, responsive to the incoming automatic deposit. A value for the sweep payment is a value of the automatic deposit minus a value of the one or more prioritized payments. The second account can be, for example, a demand deposit account or a prepaid card account.
