Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose gateway facilitating document transactions and related methods. Specifically, the disclosure discloses a gateway facilitating document transactions within a third party workflow. The gateway includes a front-end module and a controller. The front-end module is configured for providing one or more interfaces to a user to perform a document transaction, the one or more interfaces being configured for allowing the user to login into a document banking account of the user; displaying one or more documents available in the document banking account of the user; and allowing the user to select one or more documents for the transaction. The controller, interacting with the front-end module, and being configured for authenticating the third party, and the user for the document transaction; and based on the authentication, transferring the one or more documents selected by the user from the document banking account of the user to a document banking account of the third party.

Claims

1. A system for facilitating document transactions within a third party workflow, the system comprising:

a third party server configured for hosting a web portal for enabling a user to perform a document transaction with one or more documents; and

a document banking server configured for hosting the one or more documents on a document banking account associated with the user, the document banking server further configured for;

providing one or more interfaces to the user via the web portal hosted on the third party server;

receiving login credentials of the user to login into the document banking account of the user;

displaying the one or more documents available in the document banking account of the user;

receiving a selection of the one or more documents for the transaction;

authenticating a third party associated with the third party server for the document transaction based on a third party login credential;

authenticating the user based on a user credential,

wherein the third party server is further configured for generating a unique identifier for the document transaction, and transmitting the unique identifier to the document banking server, and

wherein the document banking server is further configured for;

receiving the unique identifier from the third party server for the document transaction;

renaming the one or more documents selected by the user based on the unique identifier;

transferring the one or more documents selected by the user from the document banking account of the user to a document banking account of the third party; and

redirecting the user to the web portal hosted on the third party server after the one or more documents are transferred.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the document banking server is further configured for allowing the user to provide confirmation on the one or more documents selected for the transaction.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the third party server is further configured for displaying a list of documents types required by the third party.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the document banking server is configured for receiving the list of documents types required by the third party.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the document banking server is configured for retrieving a list of the documents maintained with the document banking account of the user.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the third party server is configured for associating a document type with each of the documents.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured for notifying the user about the document transaction.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured for notifying the third party about the document transaction.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured for mapping the one or more documents selected by the user to a list of one or more documents types required by the third party.
