Abstract:
Described is a technology for executing financial transactions, e.g., payment transfers, by enabling a sender to trigger a money transfer by specifying a payment proxy having a particular syntax, the syntax including a monetary indicator preceding one or more alphanumeric characters. The payment proxy having the syntax indicates an intent of the sender to transfer money to a recipient associated with that payment proxy. The payment proxy can be used to transfer money within the context of a landing page. For example, a landing page in the form of a webpage can be generated to enable a recipient (e.g., “Alex”) to receive money. The webpage can have a canonical URL that includes a payment proxy of the recipient (e.g., www. . . . com/$alex). The canonical URL can direct any sender (e.g., “Bob”), who wishes to send money to the recipient, to the webpage to initiate a money transfer to the recipient.
