  • Patent number: 11853456
    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: 11847633
    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.

  • Patent number: 11810124
    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: 11799851
    Abstract: A computer implemented method performed by an identity verification computing system includes generating a user-level token associated with a user-level profile. The method further includes receiving a card-based transaction message associated with a card-based transaction. The card-based transaction message includes a card information portion and a point-of-sale data portion. The user-level token is inserted into at least one of the card information portion or the point-of-sale data portion. The method further includes obtaining the user-level token from the received card-based transaction message, validating the user-level token responsive to receiving a validation confirmation from a token service provider, and transmitting an identity verification to the entity computing system responsive to validating the user-level token.

  • Patent number: 11763303
    Abstract: A method includes verifying the identity of an individual. The method further includes receiving non-financial data from the individual and generating a user-level profile. The user-level profiles include the non-financial data received from the individual. The method further includes generating a user-level token unique to the individual. The user-level token is associated with the generated user-level profile. The method also includes provisioning the user-level token to a device associated with the individual. The method further includes receiving an identity verification request comprising the user-level token, wherein the identity verification request is structured as a financial transaction card-originated message, validating the user-level token, and analyzing a context of the received user-level token to determine a relevant non-financial data element included in the non-financial information within the user-level profile.
