  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20240070646
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for generating a virtual card number (VCN) associated with a credit card having a primary account number (PAN). The algorithm used matches the last 4 digits of the VCN to the last 4 digits of the PAN. By matching the last 4 digits of the VCN to the PAN, customer confusion is avoided, and VCNs may be more widely deployed, reducing the number of PAN reissuances that occur. The implementation of this feature is possible using the specific technique disclosed herein that uses multiple, rotating bank identification numbers (BIN) to expand the universe of available PANs to scales that can support a working implementation. The approach further describes accepting both a PAN card verification value (CVV) and a VCN CVV to authorize transactions. The approach also allows the synchronizing of expiration dates between a VCN and a PAN to further ease the burden of administering VCNs.
