Patent number: 12254463Abstract: A payer computing system includes a processing resource, a memory resource, and computer-executable instructions stored thereon and embodied in a customer-side application programming interface (API). The instructions, when executed by the processing resource, cause the payer computing system to receive an electronic payment request and, in response, generate a request (e.g., a first API message) to access a biller computing system using a previously generated payer electronic token. The request is transmitted to the biller computing system. The payer computing system receives (e.g., via a second API message) payment information provided by the biller computing system in response to the request to access. Based on payment information, the payer computing system generates a payment transaction and causes (e.g., via a third API message) the payment transaction to be initiated.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2019Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Alan W.
