  • Patent number: 12039535
    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that, among other things, generate and provision digital tokens based on dynamically obtained contextual data. For example, an apparatus may receive first information that characterizes an exchange of data initiated by a first application program executed by the apparatus, and may generate and transmit a signal to a computing system through a programmatic interface associated with a second application program executed by the apparatus. In some instances, the first signal may include the first information and data that instructs the computing system to obtain a digital token representative of a data type available for use in the data exchange. The apparatus may also receive a second signal that includes the digital token and based on the digital token, perform operations that present second information characterizing the available data type on an interface.

  • Patent number: 12033135
    Abstract: Systems and methods for transferring funds to an user account include a payment service provider device receiving a request for fund transfer information for an user account from a payer device that is associated with a payer. The payment service provider device then provides a routing number that is associated with the payment service provider and a virtual account number that is associated with the user account to the payer device. The payment service provider device then receives information from a financial institution about a funds transfer to a payment service provider account that is provided to a payment service provider by the financial institution. The information about the funds transfer includes a funding amount and the virtual account number, and the payment service provider device allocates the funding amount to the user account using the virtual account number.

  • Patent number: 12020250
    Abstract: Aspects described herein may provide techniques for authenticating a user using transaction-based authentication questions that are generated based on item-level purchase data. The item-level purchase data of a transaction may include specific details of a transaction such as identification of each item purchased and corresponding prices paid for each item. Transaction-based authentication questions for a financial account may be generated based on the item-level purchase data that an authorized user of the financial account is likely to remember and that a malicious actor is unlikely to correctly guess. As a result, the authorized user of the account is likely to be correctly authenticated while the malicious actor is likely to answer the transaction-based authentication question incorrectly. Authentication can therefore effectively block malicious actors without overly burdening actual authorized users during the authentication process.

  • Patent number: 11989722
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to event processing. A computing platform may prefetch, prior to receipt of a purchase request, a plurality of pay to addresses (associated with an omnibus account, used to route funds from the omnibus account to a merchant account, and not associated with a particular merchant account when prefetched). The computing platform may receive, from a client, a request to make a purchase from a merchant, and may associate the client and the merchant with one of the prefetched pay to addresses/notify the client of the prefetched pay to address. The computing platform may monitor the prefetched pay to address for receipt of a predefined amount of cryptocurrency associated with the purchase. Upon detecting receipt of the predefined amount of cryptocurrency, the computing platform may transfer funds corresponding to the purchase from the omnibus account to an account for the merchant.
