Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for performing a funds transfer. A request to transfer funds to a recipient is received at a host system, as well as an identification of a selected funds-transfer company chosen from a group of funds-transfer companies and a request to provide the funds to the recipient. Information related to the request is transmitted from the host system to a payout system. The request to transfer funds may include an identification of a retrieval location, with a list of funds-transfer companies that offer funds-transfer services to the retrieval location further being transmitted from the host system to a funds-transfer initiating system.
