  • Patent number: 9582267
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed at methods and systems for providing a partial personalization process that allows for more efficient and effective personalization of a mobile application on a communication device after updating the mobile application. For example, personalization profiles associated with multiple versions of the mobile application may be stored at an application update provisioning system and the application update provisioning system may determine the appropriate partial provisioning information to update the mobile application for each migration notification. Accordingly, a tailored partial personalization script including only that personalization information that is to be updated for the updated version of the mobile application may be generated and installed to enable new functionality and/or update the information contained within an updated mobile application, without requiring re-personalization of all personalized information into the updated mobile application.

  • Publication number: 20150046339
    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.

  • Publication number: 20150046338
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided for enabling a transaction using a token associated with a first payment network to be conducted using a second payment network. When a transaction using a token is submitted to a payment network, the payment network can determine the payment network associated with the token. If the token is associated with a second payment network, a token verification request including the token can be sent to the second payment network. The second payment network can then return a token verification response including a primary account identifier such as a primary account number (PAN) corresponding to the token and a validation result. The transaction may then be processed using the primary account identifier.

  • Publication number: 20150019435
    Abstract: A system includes a transaction terminal that is configured to examine an authorization response for an indicator, which, when set, causes the transaction terminal to communicate with a portal to obtain content relevant to the receipt for the transaction approved by the authorization response. The content may identify the benefit of an offer applied to the transaction, which is not reflected in the authorization response. The content may direct the user to select an option regarding the delivery of the receipt. Options presented for selection include suppression of the printing of the paper receipt in favor of an electronic receipt transmitted to a communication reference of the user, printing a mini paper receipt in addition to transmitting an electronic receipt, and/or printing the full paper receipt at the transaction terminal.
