Systems and methods for processing resource transfer requests

A computing device, comprising:

• a processor;
• a communications module coupled to the processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed, configure the processor to:
• obtain definition of transfer configuration rules for automatically handling requests for transfer of resources, the transfer configuration rules defining a plurality of handling actions for processing resource transfer requests and criteria associated with the respective handling actions, wherein the transfer configuration rules are generated based on historical transaction preference data associated with an entity;
• receive, from a computing system, a first resource transfer request;
• determine that the first resource transfer request satisfies criteria defined in the transfer configuration rules that are associated with a first one of the plurality of handling actions;
• and
• in response to determining that the first resource transfer request satisfies the criteria associated with the first handling action, process the first resource transfer request in accordance with the first handling action.
