Definitions
- a customer database enables entities, such as individuals and/or organizations to be represented and linked to multiple accounts of different types and linked to each other. Associated with these links are "permissions" that enable or disable actions that can be performed on particular accounts by the accessing entity. Multiple entities can be linked to multiple accounts to support both retail and advisor- based relationships simultaneously. Additionally, details such as addresses, telephone numbers, and the like are linked to entities and not to individual accounts, so that changes made to the details are made only once and automatically reflected in the linked accounts. Background
- an individual having an account can easily obtain access to each individual account by requesting information from the proprietor of the account, such as a bank or brokerage house, by telephone, such as via an automatic telephone information retrieval system, or a computer, such as via an on-line service, whereby an individual may view the contents and important information of a particular account on a computer screen by accessing the account via the internet, or other computer network.
- advisors or other entities typically also have access to an account of an individual or an organization.
- an individual may telephone a broker and request information from the broker relating to a brokerage account.
- the broker typically has access to the individual's brokerage account via a computer so that the broker can access the individual's account and provide information to the individual.
- a broker can typically enter an individual's account and commit a task, such as buying or selling a stock, or changing information that may be contained within the account.
- the advisor at the bank typically cannot access simultaneously all of the accounts of the bank and provide information relating to all of the accounts to the individual who may request the information.
- an advisor may require information from all accounts to get a better picture of an individual's financial position, which may aid the advisor in making recommendations to the individual on particular decisions that may be made by the individual.
- a bank may have a vast plurality of different types of accounts that may be associated with a corresponding vast plurality of individuals.
- a number of individuals may be invested in, for example, the same mutual fund.
- Being able to consolidate the views of each of these individuals who may have the same mutual fund may provide the bank with needed information so that the bank may make informed decisions relating to the mutual fund, or to the needs of the customers of the mutual fund.
- the ability to obtain a consolidated view of multiple accounts may be useful for parent organizations that may be wish to monitor how a particular branch or subgroup is operating.
- a bank may have branches spread out throughout a geographic area. Having consolidated access to a particular branch's accounts can allow the parent bank to obtain the necessary information relating to how successful the branch may be.
- typical accounts have specific details that are associated with the particular accounts. For example, when setting up an account, specific information is typically necessary, such as a name or names, date of birth, social security number, address, and/or other like personal information. However, even though an individual may have multiple accounts associated with him or her, the specific details must be repeatedly entered into the subsequent accounts.
- a customer database enables entities, such as individuals and/or organizations to be represented and linked to multiple accounts of different types and linked to each other. Associated with these links are "permissions" that enable or disable actions that can be performed on particular accounts by the accessing entity. Multiple entities can be linked to multiple accounts to support both retail and advisor-based relationships simultaneously. Additionally, details such as addresses, telephone numbers, and the like are linked to entities and not to individual accounts, so that changes made to the details are made only once and automatically reflected in the linked accounts.

- the systems provide linkages for the plurality of accounts such that the entity can have simultaneous and/or consolidated access to each account.
- the systems provide access to an individual's plurality of accounts by other entities.
- the systems provide these other entities with simultaneous access to the individual's plurality of accounts so that the other entity may provide complete analyses of the accounts and provide proper advice to the individual as to decisions that should be made relating to the plurality of accounts.
- the systems provide "permissions" to the various entities that have access to the plurality of accounts that may enable or disable actions that may be taken on an account or the plurality of accounts.
- the systems allow detailed information, such as addresses, telephone numbers, and other like information of the entity to be associated with the entity so that a change in the detailed information can be reflected throughout all of the accounts owned by the entity.
- information relating to an advisor, representative, or other like entity can further have detailed information that is associated with that entity, such that changes made only once to the detailed information of the advisor, representative, or other like entity can be reflected throughout all accounts linked with the advisor, representative, or other like entity.
