  • Patent number: 11615401
    Abstract: A computer system receives an indication from a user that the user wishes to perform a mobile wallet transaction to transfer funds to a recipient using a mobile device. The transaction is authenticated by the computer system. The authentication includes receiving login credentials manually entered by the user and determining that the login credentials match stored login credentials for the user. The authentication further includes determining that the mobile device has a device token stored thereon that matches a device token stored in a database of the computer system. The device token uniquely identifies the mobile device in the computer system. The authentication further includes determining that the mobile device has a customer token stored thereon that matches the customer token stored in the database. The customer token uniquely identifying the customer in the computer system. The computer system transmits the funds to the recipient responsive to the authenticating step.

  • Patent number: 11599874
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for providing rapid approval of blockchain-based transactions. This includes approval of transactions prior to the transaction being written to the blockchain. A transaction system can register with a transaction manager, such as a cloud-based or cloud transaction manager, which can maintain a queue of pending transactions and provide approval for transactions in real-time or near real-time, while later verifying the pending transactions are written into the blockchain as expected. This allows the transaction system to securely confirm the transaction is approved prior to the transaction being written in the blockchain, based on a real-time or near real-time analysis of each customer's corresponding account and transactions.

  • Patent number: 11593798
    Abstract: A new approach is proposed to support instant merchant activation for secured in-person payment at a point of sale (POS) of a merchant. When a customer initiates an in-person payment request at a payment initiation device associated with the merchant, the payment initiation device collects both sensitive and non-sensitive portions of electronic payment transaction data for the request and encrypts the sensitive data portion for secured transmission. A payment gateway in the payment transaction process relays the data and the payment request to a payment processor for approval by an issuer and transmits only the non-sensitive portion of the data to a payment service engine for risk analysis if the payment request is approved by the issuer. The payment service engine determines if the payment request is at high risk based on risk analysis of non-sensitive portion of the data and notifies the payment initiation device and/or merchant accordingly.

  • Patent number: 11568380
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in distributing payment transaction notifications. One exemplary method includes identifying, by a computing device, transaction data for a transaction associated with a child token to a group payment account and identifying, by the computing device, in a data structure, a parent token with which the child token is associated. The parent token is enrolled to receive a notification for the transaction associated with the child token. As such, the method further includes transmitting, by the computing device, a notification to a communication device of a group member associated with the parent token in response to the transaction involving the child token, where the notification includes transaction data associated with the transaction such that the transaction is thereby identified to the group member along with the associated transaction data.

  • Patent number: 11551222
    Abstract: A system and method provide efficient, secure and highly reliable authentication for transaction processing and/or access control applications in which only biometric input is required from the user. A Personal Digital Key stores a biometric profile that comprises a representation of physical or behavioral characteristics that are uniquely associated with an individual that owns and carries the PDK. The PDK wirelessly transmits the biometric profile over a secure wireless transaction to a Reader for use in a biometric authentication process. The Reader compares the received biometric profile to a biometric input acquired at the point of transaction in order to determine if the transaction should be authorized.
