  • Patent number: 11948133
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in facilitating fund transfers between source accounts and destination accounts. One exemplary method includes capturing a computer-readable indicia representative of: a destination account identifier specific to a destination account of a first party and a name of the first party associated with the destination account and, in response to the captured indicia, displaying the name of the first party as a confirmation that the first party is associated with the destination account. The method also includes identifying a source account identifier associated with a source account based on a selection of the source account or on the source account being a default account, and compiling and transmitting a transfer request for a fund transfer based on: the destination account identifier, the source account identifier associated with the identified source account, and a payment amount for the fund transfer.

  • Patent number: 11734669
    Abstract: A method of operating a payment-enabled mobile device to gain access to a location or a service. In an embodiment, a contactless front-end (CLF) component of a payment-enabled mobile device sequentially detects short-distance radio signals comprising at least two different polling signals, determines based on the sequence of the at least two different polling signals, that the payment-enabled mobile device is in proximity to a non-retail contactless transaction terminal, and then a payment application running on the payment-enabled mobile device bypasses a customary user verification feature. The process also includes the payment-enabled mobile device running the payment application performing a transaction with the non-retail contactless transaction terminal without invoking the customary user verification feature and then gaining access to at least one of a location or service.

  • Publication number: 20230237464
    Abstract: Various implementations described herein may relate to a system and method for providing transaction report data using a user device. In one implementation, a method may include receiving, at a token service provider (TSP), tokenization request data from a user device associated with a user, where the tokenization request data includes payment card data associated with the user. The method may also include generating a digital token based on the tokenization request data. The method may further include transmitting the digital token to the user device. The method may additionally include receiving transaction report data from the user device, where the transaction report data corresponds to a failed payment transaction performed using the digital token, the user device, and a merchant system. The method may also include generating failure data based on the transaction report data, where the failure data comprises alert data, failure report data, or combinations thereof.

  • Publication number: 20230230083
    Abstract: A network management system includes: a memory configured to store instructions; and a parallel processor configured to execute the instructions to: (a) receive a request for a transaction; (b) determine a first authorization decision for the request; (c) determine a second authorization decision for the request; and (d) perform a first procedure when the first authorization decision is different from the second authorization decision. The request corresponds to use of electronic payment for the transaction and wherein the first authorization decision is generated in parallel with generation of the second authorization decision.

  • Patent number: 10115103
    Abstract: In a payment-enabled smartphone, a shared cardholder verification method (CVM) applet serves a number of mobile payment cardlets. The shared CVM applet validates CVM information input by a user of the smartphone and in response issues a CVM token. The CVM token is passed to a particular one of the mobile payment cardlets that is selected for a current transaction. The selected mobile payment cardlet submits the CVM token back to the shared CVM applet for verification. Upon verifying the CVM token, the shared CVM applet enables the selected mobile payment cardlet to perform the current transaction.
