Abstract: An interface for interfacing a merchant processor with a card issuer database receives a merchant profile including transaction request data elements and stores the merchant profile in a global merchant database. A request for data corresponding to at least one element of the merchant profile is transmitted to a merchant system and/or a cardmember database. Data corresponding to the merchant profile is received from the merchant system and/or the cardmember database and stored in the global merchant database. A marketing system is notified that at least one record associated with the merchant profile is stored in the global merchant database.

More specifically, fobs are provided having radio frequency functionality such that information, such as payment information, identification information, or other like information, may be wirelessly transmitted from a memory within the fob to a receiver. The fobs provided herein may comprise a microchip or other memory means, and/or antenna disposed on or within an insert and encased within an enclosure in an interior compartment. The fobs may be provided with a quick-release mechanism for easily attaching to and detaching from a securing means, such as a keychain or the like. Moreover, the interior compartments of the fobs may be easily accessible for replacing the insert contained therein.

Abstract: A system and method for attaching a Radio Frequency operable transaction device to an article using various attachment apparatus are disclosed.
