  • Patent number: 12093909
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for implementing scheduled transactions within a payment network. A computing device first determines that a trigger has occurred for a scheduled transaction for a first payment network. Then, the computing device identifies a network identifier for the recipient and a participant identifier for a recipient of the scheduled transaction. Next, the computing device determines, based at least in part on the network identifier, that the recipient of the scheduled transaction is associated with a second payment network. Subsequently, the computing device generates a payment request representing the scheduled transaction, the payment request comprising the network identifier for the recipient and the participant identifier for the recipient. Then, the computing device forwards the payment request to a global transaction router of a supernetwork.
