  • Publication number: 20240086916
    Abstract: Examples describe data security for communication systems. One example includes validating a merchant system using merchant data and generating a set of merchant credentials. The set of merchant credentials is then used in authentication to facilitate a secure transaction, which involves automatically generating transaction data with a tokenized client account number associated with the secure transaction. A refund request associated with the secure transaction is received with the set of merchant credentials that are used for automatically authenticating the merchant system. The example then involves accessing a database that includes the transaction data for automatically facilitating settlement of a refund payment using the authenticated merchant system and the transaction data.

  • Patent number: 11880834
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems, methods, instructions, and other implementations for data security with integrated promotion systems. In one example, account security system receives a checkout communication that includes data describing a validated checkout system of a merchant system, where the checkout communication does not include a purchase promotion option. A client token is transmitted in response to an authentication that the checkout communication is from the validated checkout system, and an account communication including the client token and secure client information is received from a client device. A plurality of promotion options associated with the secure transaction is transmitted in response to the account communication, and a promotion selection for the secure transaction is received from the client device and not from the merchant system.

  • Publication number: 20220292609
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods are provided for receiving information corresponding to a transaction, wherein the information is received via a single processing of an instrument. A balance for the transaction is automatically determined based on a coverage plan associated with the information from the instrument and services associated with the transaction. Upon detecting selection of an account for the balance, an amount from the account is allocated for the balance and is provided to complete the transaction.

  • Publication number: 20210406902
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems, methods, instructions, and other implementations for data security. One example includes receiving a checkout communication associated with a secure transaction, where the checkout communication includes a first child merchant identifier associated with a first child merchant system, a second child merchant identifier associated with a second child merchant system, and a parent merchant identifier associated with a parent merchant system. The parent merchant identifier is associated with multiple different child merchant identifiers. The parent merchant system is then authenticated using the parent merchant identifier. The authentication of the parent merchant system is then used to facilitate payments with the multiple different child merchant systems.
