Claims

1. A method for matching a first financial institution selling one or more loans with a second financial institution interested in purchasing at least one of said one or more loans, the method comprising the steps of:

registering, with a computer processor, a plurality of financial institutions;

receiving, with the computer processor, instructions from a first registered financial institution of said plurality of registered financial institutions to sell a transaction right to a digital loan record, wherein the transaction right includes one or more of a right to notes receivable for a loan associated with the digital loan record and a servicing right associated with the digital loan record, and wherein the transaction right enables an owner of the transaction right to grant one or more third party access rights to the digital loan record;

offering, with the computer processor, said transaction right for sale at a sale price;

receiving, with the computer processor, one or more offers to purchase said transaction right from one or more of said plurality of registered financial institutions;

determining, with the computer processor, which of said one or more offers to purchase said transaction right has a purchase price closest to said sale price;

providing, with the computer processor, a purchasing financial institution with a predetermined time in which to reject said transaction right at said purchase price, said purchasing financial institution offering to purchase said transaction right at said purchase price; and

transferring, with the computer processor, the transaction right to the purchasing financial institution in response to a sale of the transaction right.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of:

automatically settling, with the computer processor, the sale of said transaction right at said purchase price when said purchasing financial institution accepts and alternatively fails to reject, said purchase price of said transaction right before said predetermined time expires.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the step of automatically settling comprises the steps of:

automatically and electronically notifying, with the computer processor, a settlement financial institution of said purchasing financial institution, that said purchasing financial institution has purchased said transaction right to said digital loan record at said purchase price; and

providing instructions for payment to said first registered financial institution.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the sale price of said transaction right to said digital loan record is based on one or more of a prior sale price of a transaction right for a similar digital loan record, a fulfillment grade of said digital loan record, and a current interest rate of said digital loan record.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the fulfillment grade is based on a reliability of data obtained during a fulfillment process.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of:

providing, with the computer processor, to said one or more registered financial institutions, prior sale prices of other transaction rights for one or more prior digital loan records similar to said digital loan record.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of:

notifying, with the computer processor, a title recording entity of the transfer of title of said digital loan record from said first registered financial institution to said purchasing financial institution.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein said step of determining which of said one or more offers to purchase said transaction right has a purchase price closest to said sale price, comprises the step of:

determining, with the computer processor, which of said one or more offers to purchase said transaction right was the first received having a purchase price higher than said sale price.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the servicing right includes a right to collect funds from a borrower associated with a digital loan record and disperse the collected funds to an owner of a second transaction right associated with the digital loan record.
