  • Patent number: 10643207
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and machine-readable media are disclosed for processing a card-not-present transaction. According to one embodiment, processing a card-not-present transaction can comprise receiving a request for a card-not-present transaction involving an enrolled consumer. The request can include information identifying the enrolled consumer. A record of information related to the enrolled consumer can be read and the enrolled consumer can be authenticated based at least in part on the information of the request and the record of information related to the enrolled consumer. In response to authenticating the enrolled consumer, a set of single-use payment information can be generated which can include a one-time password and a dynamic Primary Account Number (PAN) which is valid for a single transaction. The single-use payment information can be provided to the enrolled consumer or the merchant to complete the transaction in place of the true PAN.

  • Patent number: 10628881
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and machine-readable media are disclosed for handling information related to a transaction conducted with a presentation instrument at a POS device. Extended application IDs and dynamic cryptograms are used for the transaction. According to one embodiment, a method of processing a financial transaction for an account having a primary account number (PAN) can comprise detecting initiation of the transaction with the presentation instrument, and providing from the presentation instrument to the POS device a list of one or more applications IDs. Each application ID identifies an application that can be used to communicate data concerning the transaction between the presentation instrument and the POS device. The POS device selects one of the application IDs and returns it to the presentation instrument. Under the control of the selected application, the presentation instrument generates a Dynamic Transaction Cryptogram (DTC) and a dynamic PAN that are each valid for only a single transaction.

  • Publication number: 20200027115
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide methods and systems for making reward point account balances liquid for the customer. In traditional systems, reward points issued to customers in their reward point accounts have limited redemption options. Embodiments discussed herein allow a user to provision their reward point account into a digital wallet. The user can then use the reward points to purchase goods and services using their reward point account as a payment source via the digital wallet. The result is that the reward point account balance becomes a liquid asset for the customer to use to purchase any goods and/or services at any merchant that accepts payments from a digital wallet. Further, due to real-time point conversion at the time of the transaction, the available point balance is always up-to-date for use through any access method available to the user.
