Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for automated payment handling. In one implementation, a method is provided for processing of a payment request. The method may include determining, using the payment request, an entity that will receive a payment, and determining an outgoing bank account to use for the payment. Further, the method may include automatically selecting, from a list of available payment procedures, a preferred payment procedure for the payment request, the preferred payment procedure indicating a payment form code and a connection with the entity. Moreover, the method may include validating the preferred payment procedure using a set of rules and paying, to the entity, the payment using the validated payment procedure.
