Patent number: 11023885Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system, method, and computer program for securely transmitting and presenting payment card data in a web client. Payment card information is securely transmitted form a payment card server to a sandboxed container object on a webpage. The payment card sever is PCI compliant and independent of the webserver that provided the webpage to the web client. A sandboxed payment-card client, executing within the sandboxed container object on the web page, establishes a secure communication session with the payment-card sever. The payment-card server transmits payment card data to the sandboxed payment-card client, which displays the payment card data in the sandboxed container object (or in a plurality of sandboxed container objects). The website's webserver is bypassed in communications between the payment-card server and the sandboxed payment-card client.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2017Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: Marqeta, Inc.Inventors: Anaximandro A. Davila, Daniel Osburn, Anthony Ford, David Matter
