First Claim
1. A system for providing prioritized payments from proceeds of automatic deposits when a primary authorization computer for one or more accounts enrolled in a prioritized program is unavailable to receive automatic deposits for real-time processing, the system comprising:
- a first computer having at least a processor and a tangible, non-transitory memory and being the primary authorization computer for a first account enrolled in the prioritize payment program at a first financial institution to thereby define a first financial institution computer, the first financial institution computer being adapted to communicate with a payroll processor, the payroll processor adapted to send and withhold at least a portion of an automatic deposit, the first financial institution computer further being adapted to communicate with a second computer associated with a second financial institution to thereby define a second financial institution computer; and

Abstract
A financial institution computer maintains one or more lists of account identifiers for accounts enrolled in a prioritized payment program including pre-authorization of certain payment requests by select creditors. The computer estimates a value of one or more prioritized payments associated with a first account and authorizes a first sweep payment to a second account at a second financial institution from a third stand-in account at a payroll processor, so that the estimated value is held back in the stand-in account. Then the computer receives an automatic deposit associated with an account identifier for a first account. The financial institution computer generates prioritized payments from the first account to select creditors and generates a second sweep payment, if necessary, from the first account to the second account, responsive to the incoming automatic deposit. The second account can be, for example, a demand deposit account or a prepaid card account.
