  • Patent number: 11823203
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a user-selected card verification code (CVC2) value for a payment card are disclosed. A sever is coupled to a payment card database and a hardware security module. The server is programmed to receive a request from a user to change the CVC2 value of the payment card to the user-selected CVC2 value. Based upon the request, the server retrieves from a payment card table stored on the database a payment card record associated with the payment card. The server transmits the user-selected CVC2 value, and, from the payment card record, a primary account number, a payment card expiry date, and a first service code to a hardware security module. The server subsequently receives from the hardware security module a second service code associated with the user-selected CVC2 value. The server updates the first service code in the payment card record to the second service code.

  • Patent number: 11816644
    Abstract: A cross border payment (CBP) computing device for transmitting cross border data rich payments in real-time is provided. The CBP computing device receives, from an originating bank associated with a payor, a payment request message to transfer funds in real-time. The payment request message includes payment instructions and transaction information associated with a transfer amount. The CBP computing device determines that the payment request message is a cross border payment transfer from a first payment network for processing real-time payments within a first country to a second payment network for processing real-time payments within a second country, and retrieves, from a database, a set of rules based on a payment messaging standard and protocol associated with the second payment network. The CBP computing device reformats the payment request messaged based on the retrieved set of rules, and transmits the reformatted payment message to a receiving bank associated with a payee.

  • Patent number: 11803858
    Abstract: The disclosure includes systems and methods for disabling a payment function of a transaction card. The system receives payment account data from a transaction card and transmits a payment authorization request message to a card issuer associated with the transaction card. The system receives, from the card issuer, an authorization request response message. The authorization request response message declines the transaction and includes a status response code corresponding to a status of the transaction card. The system determines whether the status response code indicates that the transaction card is to be captured, and if so, disables the payment function of the transaction card via activation of a disabling system.
