  • Publication number: 20240127204
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for facilitating push provisioning of a user payment source into a user's digital wallet without the user having a physical card. The techniques allow an issuer to provide a button in an issuer's application for the user to simply push the button to request that the payment source be imported into a pay wallet or a merchant. In this way, the payment source information is “pushed” into the pay wallet. Using push provisioning, the user need not enter any physical card information. The described techniques generate a chain of trust that can be used to ensure that a user, through an issuer and using a gateway, authorizes a token service provider to provision the payment source into the pay wallet or merchant.

  • Patent number: 11928663
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and computer-readable media related to mobile device purchase flows. In some embodiments, a mobile device may obtain a uniform resource identifier (URI). The mobile device may launch a browser based at least in part on the URI. The mobile device may submit a first set of data to a server based at least in part on the URI and receive a re-direct URI. The mobile device may launch an application in response to receiving the re-direct URI from the server, wherein the application submits a second set of data to the server. The mobile device may facilitate completion of a transaction by the application based at least in part on matching the first set of data and the second set of data at the server.

  • Patent number: 11853990
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and computer-readable media related to providing a point of sale platform. In some embodiment, a point of sale (POS) device may receive information associated with an order and payment information associated with the order. The POS device may generate a first object based at least in part on the information associated with the order and a second object based at least in part on the payment information. The POS device may store the first object and the second object in a queue. The POS device may transmit the first object and the second object to a remote server.

  • Publication number: 20230351372
    Abstract: A gateway encryption service is used to ensure consistent, source independent tokenization for payment accounts and synchronizing payment account information with merchants. A consistent, evergreen merchant-facing token is generated and used for each payment account for the merchant, ensuring that regardless of the payment method used by the customer (e.g., plastic card point-of-sale, pay wallet, saved card information) for the same underlying account, the merchant has a single token. Further, if the account number for the underlying payment account changes (e.g., the card expires or is stolen) the merchant-facing token remains consistent. The evergreen token ensures that the system functions more efficiently, saving resources in processing and storage and ensuring less network traffic for failed transactions. The system further implements encryption and security despite the consistent tokenization, further saving resources.

  • Patent number: 11682021
    Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for enhancing security of transaction requests from POS terminals by utilizing ANI-DNIS information. The header of the transaction request can include automatic source information (“ASI”), which can be extracted from the header by the line handler. The ASI information can be provided to the front end interface, which can compare the ASI information with known customer information. The comparison can provide information indicating whether the transaction is legitimate or fraudulent. If fraudulent, the transaction request can be declined. The ASI information can further be stored in a security analysis database and further queried to identify larger threats including denial of service attacks.

  • Patent number: 11403425
    Abstract: A system for detecting breach of merchant systems includes an extraction management system for extracting wildcard data from a dump site at which stolen account data is offered for sale. The system also includes an account breach identifying system for accessing stored transaction data from multiple banks and merging the extracted dump site data with the transaction data to create unique PAN (primary account number) data records (each set of wildcard data corresponds to only a single PAN) and multiple PAN data records (each set of wildcard data corresponds to multiple PANs). The unique and multiple PAN data records are stored and analyzed separately, and reduce the amount of data needed to identify a breached merchant.
