Abstract
A system conducts online person-to-person monetary transactions between individuals or between individuals and entities such as banks, merchants or other companies. An individual establishes an electronic payment user interface associated with an entity which gives access to an online system used to transact money transfers. Any user can complete a receipt or a payment transaction directly with any other person or entity in real-time and at any time and from anywhere providing that each user operates an account from or to which money can be received or disbursed.

An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing computer readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform:
- receiving a request to generate an online electronic user interface associated with an entity that is associated with a first individual for a first transaction to an account associated with an entity in accordance with at least one aspect of the present disclosure;
- receiving at least one first individual defined criterion associated with the electronic payment user interface that is for a first transaction;

- receiving at least one first individual defined criterion for a transaction in accordance with at least one aspect of the present disclosure;
- receiving an authorization input by first individual to make an electronic transfer of a monetary quanta from an account of first individual to an account specified by first individual;
- permitting a transfer of a monetary quanta from an account associated with first individual directly to an account specified by first individual in real-time and at any time from anywhere;
- permitting transaction spontaneously without a request input authorization by entity a priori to any first transaction associated with any account specified by first individual for a transaction;
