  • Patent number: 10643205
    Abstract: A system and method for processing lending transactions that may facilitate prompt transfer of funds (for example, loan funds) to an individual in a secure manner. An adaptive payment server may receive first identification information, second identification information, and a request for a fund transfer. The adaptive payment server may determine an account associated with the first identification information. The adaptive payment server may authenticate identification of the account based on the second identification information. The adaptive payment server may initiate a deposit of a fund amount associated with the request into the identified account, wherein the fund amount is deposited substantially immediately after the identified account has been authenticated.

  • Publication number: 20190095902
    Abstract: A system and method for securing and processing payment transactions of varying payment transaction types via mobile devices is provided. An adaptive payment server can accept requests from a mobile device to process different types of payment transactions via various types of payment devices (for example, credit cards, debit cards, EBT cards, or other payment cards). Credit card transactions, debit card transactions, EBT cash benefits transactions, and/or EBT food stamps transactions can be processed based on identification information retrieved from a corresponding reader device, coupled to the mobile device, and configured to encrypt identification information directly detected by and/or received from the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 10049357
    Abstract: A system and method for using a Personal Identification Number (“PIN”) to authenticate payment transactions via a mobile device coupled to a reader device is described. The reader device may be modified to not only read and encrypt first identification information from a payment medium such as a magnetic strip of a payment card, but also receive a PIN from the mobile device and encrypt the PIN. The mobile device may be configured to prompt for and receive the PIN. The PIN may be communicated to the reader device for encryption. The mobile device may receive the encrypted first identification information and encrypted PIN and communicate the encrypted data to an adaptive payment server that decrypts the encrypted data for processing the payment transaction. The system may be used to securely process PIN-based payment transactions using a mobile device that is communicably coupled to a reader device.

The system may include an adaptive payment server including one or more processors configured to receive first identification information and second identification information from a sender communication device. The adaptive payment server may receive third identification information from a receiver communication device. The adaptive payment server may determine a sender account based on the first identification information. The adaptive payment server may determine a receiver account based on the third identification information. The adaptive payment server may process a person-to-person transaction based on the sender account and the receiver account via an EFT network.

  • Publication number: 20160171493
    Abstract: A system and method for Enable PIN Debit Transactions at Internet Based Online Merchants by Using a Combination of IVR and Hardware Security Module is provided. The system may include an adaptive payment server including one or more processors configured to receive a first communication including first identification information from a first communication device on a first communication channel. The adaptive payment server may identify a second communication device based on the first identification information and initiate a second communication to the second communication device on a second communication channel, which may be discrete from the first communication channel. The adaptive payment server may receive second identification information from the second communication device on the second communication channel and authenticate the payment transaction using the first identification information and the second identification information.

  • Publication number: 20150134539
    Abstract: A system and method for processing POS payment transactions via mobile devices is described. Encrypted first identification information is received from a merchant mobile device. Encrypted second identification information is received from a cardholder mobile device. A determination is made regarding whether the encrypted first identification information and the encrypted second identification information are associated with one another. In response to a determination that the determination that the encrypted first identification information and the encrypted second identification information are associated with one another, the encrypted first identification information and the encrypted second identification information are decrypted. The POS payment transaction is processed based on the decrypted first and second identification information.
