  • Patent number: 11568395
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for facilitating network transactions. One exemplary method includes receiving, from a terminal, a request for a conversion option for a transaction to a payment account, where the request includes a transaction amount for the transaction in a first currency and an identifier associated with the payment account. The exemplary method also includes determining a charge rate for the payment account for conversion of the transaction amount to a second currency, determining the conversion option for the transaction in the second currency based on at least a conversion rate and the charge rate, and transmitting the conversion option to the terminal in response to the request.

  • Publication number: 20210110397
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are described herein for verifying digital identities. One exemplary method includes receiving a request for verification from a relying party where the request includes a query related to an attribute of an identity of a user and a MPAN specific to the user. The method also includes identifying at least one verification party enrolled for the user and, when the at least one verification party includes sufficient information to respond to the query, converting the MPAN to an AgencyPAN associated with the at least one verification party. The method then includes submitting the query along with the AgencyPAN to an interface processor associated with the at least one verification party, receiving a response to the query from the interface processor, and transmitting the response to the query to the relying party.

  • Publication number: 20210097529
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for setting a fixed currency conversion rate for a transaction, as determined during authorization of the transaction. One exemplary method includes receiving a clearing file for the transaction, where the clearing file includes a clearing transaction amount based on a final transaction amount for the transaction and a clearing currency conversion rate. The method also includes determining a billing transaction amount for the transaction based on the final transaction amount and the fixed currency conversion rate, and appending the billing transaction amount to the clearing file so that a user associated with an account used in the transaction is billed based on the fixed currency conversion rate instead of the clearing currency conversion rate. The method then also includes reconciling a difference between the billing transaction amount and the clearing transaction amount with the issuer as part of settlement of funds for the transaction.

  • Publication number: 20200349572
    Abstract: Provided herein is a method for monitoring message content processed over a payment processor for a cardholder using a rules engine computing device. The rules engine computing device is associated with the payment processor that maintains a transaction history database that includes records for a plurality of payment transactions, and each of the records including a payment account number (PAN), a merchant identifier, and a transaction amount. The method includes (i) receiving a message from a registration computing device indicating that the cardholder is enrolled in a transaction monitoring service; (ii) associating the at least one PAN with the transaction monitoring service; (iii) querying the transaction history database to retrieve records including the at least one PAN; (iv) identifying a subset of transactions from the retrieved records; and (v) transmitting a list of the identified subset of transactions to at least one of the cardholder and the registration computing device.

  • Publication number: 20200160298
    Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for improving data tokenization processes and mobile device data accessibility. A data warehouse may receive first provisioning data for tokenizing a first data set and a device identifier for a mobile device. The tokenized first data set may be stored in a database record associated with the device identifier. The data warehouse may receive second provisioning data for tokenizing a second data set and the device identifier. The data warehouse may then determine that both tokenized data sets are associated with the mobile device based on the device identifier. When the tokenized first data set is used by the mobile device, the data warehouse may notify a network associated with the second data set. The network may update its data processing rules based on the notification.
