Publication number: 20170017951Abstract: Processing of merchant-specific functionality services during proximity connection transactions. The merchant terminal transmits additional data to the computing device that enables the device to identify the merchant. The computing device can enable merchant-specific features, such as offers, rewards, loyalty information, and other incentives that are applicable to the identified merchant. The bi-directional communication between the devices permits the computing device to transmit these identified incentives to the merchant terminal. The merchant terminal can then adjust the purchase price. The computing device can also enable a merchant-specific financial instrument and can communicate the identity of the merchant to a management system.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2016Publication date: January 19, 2017Inventors: Johnie Lee, Roman Kalukiewicz, Titia Tin Yee Wong, Petra Cross, Andrew Waterman, Michael Kuo-Li Ying, Zachary Cancio
