  • Publication number: 20120323787
    Abstract: System and methods for converting a fixed form card to a virtual card are disclosed herein. The system includes a virtual card manager and a user computing device communicatively coupled via a network. The virtual card manager may be configured to convert a fixed form card to a virtual card, and the user computing device may be configured to initiate a virtual card conversion request via a virtual card engine stored in mass storage and executable by a processor. As such, a stored value of the fixed form card may be transferred to the virtual card in a secure manner.

  • Publication number: 20110307377
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for creating and using versions of a shared virtual card. In one example, a system for sharing stored value is provided. The system may include a virtual card manager configured to manage one or more shared virtual cards and a first computing device including a virtual card engine executable by a processor to manage the shared virtual card. The first computing device may be communicatively coupled to the virtual card manager via a network. In the example, stored value of the shared virtual card may be split between a first version and a second version. The first version may receive a first portion of the stored value and the second version may receive a second portion of the stored value; the first version available for use on the first computing device and the second version available for use on a second computing device.

  • Publication number: 20110282784
    Abstract: A method stored in memory executable by a processor for transferring ownership of a virtual value card in a virtual card management system is provided. The method includes, at a virtual card manager, receiving a request for reassignment of the virtual value card from a source virtual card engine to a target virtual card engine at a virtual card manager. The method further includes, at the virtual card manager, modifying card data in a manager-side associative card profile included in the virtual card manager and requesting modification of card data in a provider-side associative card profile to permit use of the virtual value card by the target virtual card engine and inhibit use of the virtual value card by the source virtual card engine in response to reception of the request for reassignment.

  • Publication number: 20110145044
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a promotional campaign are provided. In one embodiment, a promotional campaign engine communicates in real-time with a participant's mobile computing device, receives an electronic campaign entry from the mobile computing device, and based on a rule set, generates a virtual value item in an established stored value system based on the rule set.

  • Publication number: 20100082487
    Abstract: A method for using a virtual card is provided. In one example, the method includes identifying a geographic identifier for a mobile computing device and matching the geographic identifier with at least one virtual card associated with the mobile computing device. The method further includes triggering at least one virtual card feature based on a matched geographic identifier. In some examples, the at least one virtual card feature includes presenting the at least one virtual card with the matched geographic identifier. In other examples, the at least one virtual card feature includes a security feature including selectively enabling a virtual card transaction based on the at least one virtual card with the matched geographic identifier.

  • Publication number: 20100076833
    Abstract: A virtual card engine stored on memory executable via at least one processor for managing two or more virtual cards is provided. The virtual card engine including a value modification module configured to modify value data corresponding to at least a first virtual card based on user input, send a request to an associated card service provider to modify value data in a corresponding provider-side associative card profile, and present the first virtual card on a display of a mobile computing device to initiate a virtual card transaction between the virtual card engine and the card service provider.

  • Publication number: 20100063906
    Abstract: A virtual card management system including one or more servers having memory executable via a processor is provided. The virtual card management system including a virtual card manager executable on the one or more servers having an integration connector engine configured to communicatively link at least one card service provider and the virtual card manager. The virtual card management system may further include a virtual card management platform configured to communicatively link the virtual card manager with at least one virtual card engine, each virtual card engine including one or more virtual cards, the virtual card management platform including an enablement module configured to selectively enable a virtual card transaction between at least one virtual card and a corresponding card service provider based on a set of predetermined authentication rules.

  • Publication number: 20090055296
    Abstract: Systems and methods for electronic delivery of stored value are provided. An example method includes receiving a set of identifiers corresponding to a merchant's stored value tracking system, receiving a request for an electronic value card, associating an identifier from the set of identifiers with the electronic value card, synchronizing the merchant's stored value tracking system with the issued electronic value card, and delivering the electronic value card to a customer. An example system includes a merchant stored value tracking system having a set of unique identifiers, a network communicatively linked with a merchant stored value tracking system; and a value card manager communicatively linked with the network.
