  • Patent number: 10861019
    Abstract: Described herein is a platform and method for determining a confidence level associated with a transaction that utilizes dynamic data. In some embodiments, the confidence level is determined based on location data received in relation to the transaction. For example, some embodiments are directed to storing first location information collected from a mobile device provided in a request for the dynamic data, receiving second location information related to a transaction conducted using the dynamic data, and comparing the two with respect to the amount of time that has elapsed between collection of each to determine a confidence level associated with a likelihood that the transaction is authentic.

  • Patent number: 10846790
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to linking a prepaid account with a payment account used to fund the prepaid account. In some embodiments, during payment for a prepaid device, an authorization request message may include a prepaid account identifier associated with the prepaid account. In some embodiments, an activation request message may include a payment account identifier associated with the payment account. A server at the payment processing network may store an association between the prepaid account identifier and the payment account identifier in an account link database. In some embodiments of the invention, if the payment account is canceled, the payment processing network may use the account link database to cancel any associated prepaid accounts, and may transfer funds associated with corresponding prepaid accounts to an issuer associated with the payment account.

  • Publication number: 20200293979
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods, apparatuses, computer readable media and systems for obtaining authorization for a plurality of split shipments associated with a single order. In particular, embodiments of the present invention allow a merchant to submit a separate split shipment authorization request for each of the plurality of split shipments. The split shipments authorization requests are linked to the original order using verifiable linking data. The linking data may be extracted from a previous (e.g., initial) split shipment authorization request and/or a previous (e.g., initial) split shipment authorization request. The linking data may be validated by an authorizing entity (e.g., a payment processing network computer or an issuer computer) to ensure validity of a split shipment authorization request. Additionally, the split shipment authorization requests may be validated using one or more predefined split shipment rules.

  • Patent number: 10733623
    Abstract: To automate the redemption of offer benefits, data associating offers and payment accounts is stored in the data warehouse of a first transaction handler. If a payment account to which an offer is associated is in the payment processing network of a second transaction handler separate from the first transaction handler, the system uses a payment processor that is in both the payment processing network of the first transaction handler and the payment processing network of the second transaction handler to communicate with the first transaction handler to detect the authorization request in the payment account that satisfies the benefit redemption requirements of the respective offer and apply the offer benefit to the transaction when the authorization request is detected.

  • Publication number: 20200097960
    Abstract: Embodiments are described that are directed to optimizing the provisioning of payment account credentials to mobile devices utilizing mobile wallets. In some embodiments, one of multiple provisioning schemes may be selectively chosen for payment account credential provisioning based upon a determined risk involved with a particular provisioning request. A low risk provisioning request leads to an immediate provisioning of a payment credential, whereas a provisioning request of high risk results in the provisioning request being denied. In some embodiments, medium risk provisioning requests will cause an additional user authentication to be performed before the payment account provisioning is finalized. The additional user authentication may occur using a separate communication channel than the channel in which the provisioning request was received.
