Publication number: 20170330185Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to methods, apparatuses, computer readable media and systems for processing transactions using conversion or filtering of restricted information. One embodiment of the invention is directed to a method comprising receiving, at a server computer located outside a restricted zone, a transaction request message including an unrestricted account alias, wherein the unrestricted account alias was previously converted from a restricted account identifier into the unrestricted account alias by a server computer located in a restricted zone. The server computer located outside the restricted zone may determine an account associated with the unrestricted account alias and process the transaction request message. Similar methods may be applied to settlement files including an unrestricted account alias that is converted to a restricted account identifier. Other embodiments are directed to filtering restricted information from service requests or other transactions.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2017Publication date: November 16, 2017Inventors: Justin Monk, Kaushik Subramanian, Thanigaivel Ashwin Raj

Patent number: 9426659Abstract: Systems and methods for service activation using algorithmically defined keys are disclosed. A consumer who has a relationship with a first party may wish to enroll in a service provided by a third party. The first party can maintain control of such enrollments through the use of algorithmically defined keys. The algorithmically defined keys also allow the third party service provider to verify data provided by the consumer as matching data stored by the first party. The verification provides for data synchronization without requiring the third party to have access to the first parties data systems.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2015Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Inventors: Ashwin Raj, John Tullis, Mark Carlson, Patrick Faith, Shalini Mayor, Joseph Mirizzi, Lauren White, Olivier Brand, Mike Lindelsee

Publication number: 20130226799Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed towards improved transaction processing methods and systems with transaction apparatuses, including a value transfer machine, using a device identifier instead of a value transfer machine card to process a transaction. One embodiment of the transaction may be directed to a transaction apparatus and a method including receiving an authentication code from a consumer, sending the authentication code to a first server computer, wherein if the received authentication code matches a generated authentication code, the first server sends a confirmation message. The method continues by receiving the confirmation message from the first server, receiving a secret token from the consumer, and sending an authorization request message to a second server computer. Thereafter, the transaction apparatus receives an authorization response message from the second server, indicating whether the secret token matches an expected token.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2012Publication date: August 29, 2013Inventor: Thanigaivel Ashwin Raj

Publication number: 20130218769Abstract: Systems and methods for mobile funding are provided. One such method comprises receiving a transaction request to transfer funds from a payor to a payee. The transaction request can include a payor device identifier, a payee device identifier and an amount. A payor account identifier associated with the payor device identifier, and a payee account identifier associated with the payee device identifier can each be determined. Additionally, a first service provider associated with the payor device can be determined based on the payor device identifier, and a second service provider associated with the payee device can be determined based on the payee device identifier. The transfer of funds from the first service provider to the second service provider can then be initiated using the payor account identifier and the payee account identifier. At least one of the first and second service providers is a mobile network operator.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2012Publication date: August 22, 2013Inventors: Stacy Pourfallah, Thanigaivel Ashwin Raj

Publication number: 20110238553Abstract: Funds are electronically transferred between a provider and a beneficiary. A provider accountholder accesses a funds transfer system to communicate with a host. The provider accountholder sends the host information sufficient to process the electronic funds transfer including designating transfer conditions to be satisfied prior to remittance of the funds from a provider account to a beneficiary account. The host receives the funds transfer request from the provider accountholder, receives authorization of the funds transfer from the issuer of the provider account, and, prior to remitting the funds, determines if the transfer conditions are satisfied. In some implementations, the funds are suspended in the provider account or transferred to a temporary account before the remittance. A system is disclosed for generating a payment card for any beneficiary account type, where the funds transfers terminates in a new account opening, followed by funding of that new account.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2010Publication date: September 29, 2011Inventors: Ashwin Raj, John Richard Tullis, Shilpak Mahadkar, Rupa Vazirani
