  • Publication number: 20240127256
    Abstract: A system and method for card control includes a card control computing system configured to enforce a card control rule based upon transactions made with a payment card. The card control computing system includes a memory unit configured to store information associated with a card control dashboard, and a processing unit configured to cause presentation of the card control dashboard via a display associated with a remote computing device, such that the card control dashboard is associated with the payment card and the card control rule. The card control dashboard includes a user interface. The processing unit is further configured to receive an input via the user interface to activate or deactivate one or more features associated with the card control rule, and trigger the card control rule based upon the one or more features that are activated or deactivated.

  • Publication number: 20240126921
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing a central location to manage permissions provided to third-parties and devices to access and use user data and to manage accounts at multiple entities. A central portal may allow a user to manage all access to account data and personal information as well as usability and functionality of accounts. The user need not log into multiple third-party systems or customer devices to manage previously provided access to the information, provision new access to the information, and to manage financial or other accounts. A user is able to have user data and third-party accounts of the user deleted from devices, applications, and third-party systems via a central portal. The user is able to impose restrictions on how user data is used by devices, applications, and third-party systems, and control such features as recurring payments and use of rewards, via a central portal.

  • Patent number: 11935020
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing a customer a central location to manage permissions provided to third-parties and devices to access and use customer information maintained by a financial institution are described. The central location serves as a central portal where a customer of the financial institution can manage all access to account information and personal information stored at the financial institution. Accordingly, the customer does not need to log into each individual third-party system or customer device to manage previously provided access to the customer information or to provision new access to the customer information. A user additionally is able to have user data and third-party accounts of the user deleted from devices, applications, and third-party systems via a central portal. Restrictions on how user data is used by devices, applications, and third-party systems can be imposed via a central portal.

  • Publication number: 20240078557
    Abstract: Methods and systems of exchanging data using payment cards with universal reference numbers are disclosed. A merchant computing system includes a merchant input/output assembly receiving a universal reference number from a customer at a point of sale. A merchant database retrievably stores a plurality of universal reference numbers and customer information associated with each of the plurality of universal reference numbers. A transaction circuit receives the universal reference number from the merchant input/output assembly, retrieves customer information associated with the universal reference number, and provides an output relating to a transaction based on the customer information.

  • Patent number: 11900362
    Abstract: Methods and systems of managing payment cards are disclosed. A financial institution computing system includes a token database storing a plurality of tokens and token information, a network interface circuit enabling the financial institution computing system to exchange information over a network; and a token management circuit. The token management circuit enables a graphical user interface on a customer device over the network that can be used to generate new token requests, re-provision token requests, and management requests. The management requests enable and disable tokens, such that transactions against a payment card account using an enabled token are completed, and transactions against the payment card account using a disabled token are denied.
