  • Publication number: 20030216996
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed that allow a third party system to bypass a financial interchange network to make payments to a merchant on behalf of a customer. The payment to the merchant may be based on a financial account associated with the customer. The third party system may be adapted to receive a payment request from the customer that identifiers the merchant, a payment amount, and a financial account provided by a financial account provider. The third party system may provide the information included in the payment request to the financial account provider through a communication path or channel that bypasses the interchange network. The financial account provider may charge the payment amount to the financial account of the user and/or transfer funds equal to at least the payment amount to the third party system. Following authorization and/or receipt of the transferred funds, the third party system may make a payment to the merchant equal to the payment amount included in the payment request.
