  • Publication number: 20240154952
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer readable media embodiments for global identity verification of a user for multiple services. In some embodiments, a centralized authentication platform (CAP) may receive a request from an independent service to generate an authentication token for a client device based on authentication performed by the service. The CAP may generate an authentication token of a particular authorization level, based on the method of authentication used by the service. The CAP may send the token to the client device as well as store the token in a database. The CAP may receive a second request from a second, unrelated service to validate the authentication token on the client device. The CAP may validate the token on the client device against the token in the database based on an authentication level thereof, and send a response to the second service indicating token validity.

  • Publication number: 20240113882
    Abstract: Systems and methods for executing sequential suboperations over multiple communication networks. In some aspects, the system receives, via a first communication network, from an external system, an operation related to an aggregated virtual container. The system generates sequential suboperations including a first suboperation associated with a provider of the aggregated virtual container and the external system and a second suboperation associated with the user and the provider of the aggregated virtual container. If the first suboperation is executed successfully, the system transmits the second suboperation to a user system associated with the aggregated virtual container. If the second suboperation is executed successfully, the system generates a first message indicating that the operation has been executed and transmits the first message via the first communication network to the external system.

  • Publication number: 20240114021
    Abstract: Systems and methods for successively executing an operation over multiple communication networks. In some aspects, the system obtains first access information received from a physical token and generates an operation related to an aggregated virtual container. The system determines a first communication network from the first access information and transmits, via the first communication network, the operation associated with the aggregated virtual container. If the operation was not transmitted successfully via the first communication network, the system obtains second access information received from the physical token, determines a second communication network from the second access information, and transmits, via the second communication network, the operation associated with the aggregated virtual container. If the operation was transmitted successfully via the second communication network, the system generates for display a notification that the operation has been executed.

  • Publication number: 20240104565
    Abstract: A system and method for processing a bound payment method is disclosed. A customer can create a virtual card number for use solely at a specific retailer. In this scenario, when the payment method is used for a financial transaction, it becomes necessary to verify that the financial transaction is being carried out with the bound merchant. In embodiments, the virtual card number (VCN) information is received and analyzed to identify the exchange entity and a bound entity associated with the VCN. If it is determined that the merchant associated with the transaction does not match the bound merchant associated with the VCN, then the customer is notified of the discrepancy and provided an opportunity to confirm the dispute the denial.
