  • Patent number: 11823160
    Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method includes the operations of transmitting a cold reset signal to a multiple-funding source payment card and receiving a first answer-to-reset message therefrom. The first answer-to-reset message includes governing rules for performing a single-swipe transaction. The operation also includes receiving payment account details for a first payment account in accordance with the governing rules. A first PIN associated with the first payment account is input by a cardholder and a first payment authorization request message for approval of the single-swipe transaction is transmitted. Upon receipt of a payment declined response message, a warm reset signal is transmitted to the payment card. A second answer-to-reset message is received including payment account details for a second payment account.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11797973
    Abstract: A method for facilitating payment transactions includes receiving, by a server, a flash code request indicative of a transaction amount. A flash code associated with the transaction amount is communicated by the server to the payer device. The flash code is encoded into a flash pattern at the payer device and communicated to a payee device of a payee for executing a payment transaction between the payer and the payee. A first request for the payment transaction is received by the server from the payee device. The first request includes the flash code obtained by decoding the flash pattern at the payee device. The flash code included in the first request is validated by the server. Based on successful validation of the flash code, the transaction amount is deducted from a payer account of the payer and credited to a payee account of the payee.
