A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11966887B1) discloses a computer-implemented method for coordinating cross-platform transactions. The method involves deploying a server computing device with a cross-platform transaction coordination system that communicates with multiple network transaction platforms. These platforms hold financial resources in accounts associated with users of the system. The system facilitates electronic communication between user computing devices and financial source computing devices. It establishes intermediary holding accounts to enable network transactions between users on different platforms. The method involves transmitting instructions to initiate transfer of transactional value between accounts on different platforms through intermediary holding accounts, overcoming communication protocol limitations.

Furthermore, the patent details additional features such as modifying user account values based on transactional values, accommodating different communication protocols between platforms, and enabling requests for peer-to-peer, inter-bank, or intra-bank network transactions. The system also allows for user attribute modifications, authentication network access for user attributes, and aggregated transfers of multiple transactional values. The patent covers a computer-readable medium storing instructions for executing the method and a system comprising a processor and storage medium for implementing the cross-platform transaction coordination system. This innovative method aims to streamline and enhance cross-platform transactions, providing a seamless user experience across different network transaction platforms.
