Abstract: Systems and methods for updating payment card records in real time for payment cards registered to be used for recurring payments in which the payment card itself is not present. In one aspect, a method for processing card-not-present recurring payment (CNP/RP) transactions is provided. The transactions include recurring purchases made by a cardholder using payment card information stored by a merchant. The method includes receiving, at an interchange network, a first authorization request message for the transaction, and querying a database coupled to the interchange network to determine whether the database includes updated payment card information for a payment card used in the transaction. The method also includes transmitting the updated payment card information from the interchange network to the merchant and updating the payment card information stored by the merchant to match the updated payment card information received from the interchange network.
