  • Publication number: 20240112182
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for authenticating users. An exemplary method includes receiving, by a directory server (DS), an authentication request for a transaction to an account where the request includes a token and a cryptogram, and transmitting the token and cryptogram to a digital service server (DSS). The method also includes mapping, by the DSS, the token to an account number for the account, validating the cryptogram, generating a directory server nonce (DSN) for the request, and transmitting the DSN and the account number to the DS. The method further includes transmitting, by the DS, the DSN and the account number to an access control server (ACS) associated with an issuer of the account and, in response to an issuer authentication value (IAV), compiling an accountholder authentication value (AAV) including the IAV, the DSN and an amount of the transaction and transmitting the AAV to a merchant or server.

  • Publication number: 20230419305
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing payment card credentials provisioned to an Internet of Things (IoT) device via a companion application. A mobile device processor of a consumer mobile device launches a wallet application, displays a wallet application user interface on a touch screen that includes a card management option, receives selection of the card management option, and displays a device list that includes a plurality of icons representing IoT devices. The mobile device processor receives selection of an icon and then displays a payment card representation, payment card information, and card management options including a suspend card option and a delete card option. After receiving a selection of a card management option the mobile device processor transmits instructions to the IoT device to one of delete or suspend the payment card credentials.

  • Publication number: 20230196314
    Abstract: A payments transfer service method for facilitating a funds transfer between a sender and a recipient. In an embodiment, a payment processing network receives a funding transaction request message comprising a transaction amount and a Pre-Payment Transaction (Pre-PT) message from an originating institution (OI) computer, determines an issuer financial institution (FI) that issued a payment account to the sender and transmits the funding request message and the Pre-PT message to an issuer FI computer of the issuer FI. The method also includes the payment processing network receiving a funding authorization message from the issuer FI computer, transmitting the funding authorization message to the OI computer, receiving a payment transaction request from one of the OI computer and a transaction initiator computer, and transmitting the funding authorization message to the RI computer.

  • Patent number: 11544703
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for associating payment card credentials with a companion application. In an embodiment, a consumer's mobile device processor receives an instruction to launch a companion application, displays a companion application user interface, and receives selection of an option to obtain payment card credentials from at least one wallet application. The process also includes displaying a list of payment card accounts associated with the selected wallet application for association with the companion application, receiving a selection of at least one payment card account, transmitting payment account credentials of the selected payment account to a wallet server computer, receiving a companion token representing a digitization of the selected payment card account from the wallet server computer, and associating the companion token with the companion application.

  • Publication number: 20220012738
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for facilitating network transactions. One exemplary method includes receiving a request from a transaction originator for a transaction between a sending party and a receiving party directing funds from an account of the sending party to an account of the receiving party, and transmitting the request to an interface processor, via a message gateway, thereby enabling the interface processor to transmit an authorization request for the transaction to a banking institution associated with the sending party's account via a payment network. The method also includes determining a status of the transaction from authorization data received from the payment network, but not received from the message gateway, and providing the status to the transaction originator, thereby bypassing the message gateway and limiting an unknown status for the transaction being provided to the transaction originator in case of a disruption in communication from the message gateway.

  • Patent number: 11080697
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for authenticating users to payment accounts in connection with transactions. An exemplary method includes receiving, by at least one computing device, an authentication request for a transaction associated with a payment account where the authentication request includes a token associated with the payment account and a cryptogram, and mapping the token to a primary account number (PAN) for the payment account. The method also includes validating the cryptogram, generating a directory server nonce (DSN) for the authentication request, and transmitting the DSN and the account number to an access control server (ACS) associated with an issuer of the payment account. The method further includes, in response to an issuer authentication value (IAV), compiling an accountholder authentication value (AAV) including the IAV, the DSN and an amount of the transaction, and transmitting the AAV to one of a merchant and a server.

  • Publication number: 20190188694
    Abstract: A merchant computer system receives a first token transmitted to the merchant computer system from a customer device. A request for a second token is transmitted from the merchant computer system to a payment processor computer. The request includes the first token. The merchant computer system receives the second token that it requested. The second token is different from the first token. The merchant computer system transmits a payment account system transaction request to the payment processor computer. The latter request includes the second token.

  • Publication number: 20180276658
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for extending QR and person-to-person based digital wallet payments to non-issuer digital wallets. In one example, the method may include receiving a send request to send payment from a sending account of a digital wallet to a receiving account, executing an authentication protocol between the mobile device and an issuer of the sending account, pulling the requested payment from the issuer of the sending account to the sponsor system, where the pulling shifts a liability of a chargeback to the issuer of the sending account, and pushing the requested payment from the sponsor system to an issuer of the receiving account. In addition, if the merchant is a QR merchant, a method may include accessing the PAN and merchant info from the QR code to process a pull/push transaction using non-issuer digital wallet credentials from contactless tap.
