This invention describes a system that automatically handles expense reports and reimbursements. A payment processor generates a statement of a user's transactions. The user selects which transactions are business expenses, and once an authorized person approves them, the system directly removes those charges from the user's account, effectively reimbursing them by not making them pay for those specific items.
Why it matters: Filed before widespread cloud computing and advanced payment processor APIs. The specific mechanism of preventing charges directly from a user's account is far more feasible with today's mature fintech integrations.
