The invention relates to a computer-based method of and system for
matching a set of transaction instructions received from a submitting
entity with a record data set of receiving entity. The record data set
includes a plurality of account records and an associated match key data
set comprising a plurality of match keys, wherein each match key
identifies an associated account record. The method comprises searching
the match key data set using a match key derived from a received funds
transfer instruction to identify an account record in said record data
set thereby automatically matching said instruction to said identified
record. The submitting entity selects a particular unmatched record of
said data set, thereby manually matching said instruction to said
selected record. Updating of the match key data set with the derived
match keys of manually matched records enables later instructions
providing substantially identical match keys to be automatically matched
to their associated records in the account record data set.
