  • Publication number: 20170124537
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing automatic updating or pushing of credit card data, other payment information, and/or personal data to multiple retail and payment sites (collectively, “vendor websites”). In some embodiments, a method might include providing a user interface to a user device associated with a user via an account management application running on the user device. The user interface might receive, from the user, a first set of inputs comprising instructions to push payment information and a second set of inputs comprising instructions indicating two or more user accounts for at least two vendor websites with which the payment information is to be updated. The account management application or a server computer subsequently automatically concurrently pushes the payment information to the two or more user accounts, in response to receiving the first and second sets of inputs from the user.
