  • Publication number: 20240029050
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for dynamically linking machine-readable codes to digital accounts for loading of application data. A user may engage in a transaction with another user, such as a purchase of goods, services, or other items a merchant using a physical payment card. A machine-readable code may be provided on the payment card, where the machine-readable code may be dynamically linked to underlying data with an online transaction processor. The user may provide the payment card to another user that may capture the machine-readable code on the payment card. The other user's device may then utilize the machine-readable code with the online transaction processor to perform an account lookup using database information dynamically linked to the machine-readable code. Thereafter, the other user's device may automatically load account data for the account without having the user enter the account's identifier.

  • Patent number: 11715076
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for user interfaces for account statement assignment. A user may engage in transactions over a time period, such as purchases of goods, services, or other items using a physical payment card associated with an online transaction processor. A statement may be issued at the completion of the time period, where the statement may include account information requiring a payment by the user, such as a statement balance. The user may request for another user to provide a payment for all or a portion of the balance using one or more user interfaces of a peer-to-peer payment and social networking platform. Thereafter, a request may be provided to the other user, which may request the payment. The other user may process the payment, which may be used to provide funds directly to the statement balance.

  • Publication number: 20210406908
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for processing throttles to enforce account usage limitations. A user may engage in a transaction with another user, such as a purchase of goods, services, or other items a merchant using a physical payment card. An online transaction processor may provide a monitoring operation to enforce an electronic transaction processing limit on use of the payment card. This limit may correspond to a processing throttle, which may limit use of the payment card below a maximum amount of usage allowed for the payment card. When the payment card is utilized, the online transaction processor may determine that the throttle is violated by the usage and prevent the usage of the payment card. The online transaction processor may then contact the user of the transaction and allow for removal or adjustment of the throttle.
