Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are used in a token based financial transaction system, whereby individual tokens associated with one or more financial accounts provided to one or more third parties. Embodiments credit an amount of a virtual currency in at least one bank account of a customer, wherein the at least one bank account has an associated amount of funds that is increased by the credit of the amount of virtual currency; generate a payment token associated with the at least one bank account of the customer; receive a transaction request to process a transaction using the token; determine that the transaction request is associated with a transaction having a transaction amount less than or equal to the amount of funds associated with the at least one bank account; and approve and settle the transaction.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for non-intrusive geo-location determination associated with transaction authorization. The invention enables one or more transactions initiated by a user to be authenticated and/or validated based on, at least in part, determined locations of the user relative to the locations of the one or more transactions. The user location is determined by transmitting one or more queries to a user device. The system determines the validity of the one or more transactions based on at least comparing the transaction location to the user location, before enabling further processing of the one or more transactions. The present invention is advantageous since it enables authentication/authorization of one or more transactions associated with the user by utilizing the user location, while precluding any inadvertent privacy concerns.

Abstract: Embodiments enable a system operatively connected with a block chain distributed network to use the block chain distributed network for validation (i.e., authorization) of a payment transaction. The system receives a transaction record associated with a payment transaction, wherein the transaction record comprises transaction data indicating a payor, a payee and an amount; accesses a distributed ledger stored in the memory device, wherein the distributed ledger is updated based on communications from a block chain distributed network; and, using payment transaction logic, determines whether the transaction record represents a valid transaction by, e.g., communicate the transaction record to a validating node for validation of the transaction record. Once validated, the system (or validating node) communicates validation of the transaction record to the block chain distributed network, e.g.

Abstract: The custodial block chain network is a distributed network of systems, including at least a first entity system, a second entity system, and a custodian entity system, wherein the network allows the first entity to quickly, securely, and easily allocate resources associated with a first user, via an electronic contract stored in the block chain, from the first entity to a second user associated with a second entity. The custodian entity system provides, through the use of the network, resource pools for the first and the second entities, and holds allocated resources from the first entity system until acceptance of the electronic contract. Upon acceptance of the electronic contract, the resources are released by the custodian entity to the resource pool associated with the second entity allowing the second entity to provide the allocated resources to the second user.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for payment vehicle agnostic payment tokenization. In this way, the invention provides a means for a user to use a token for a transaction at a merchant without the merchant making infrastructural changes. The token may be specifically coded for merchant recognition and identification that the merchant's infrastructure is not capable of processing the received token. Instead of declining the transaction, code is implemented into the token that the merchant recognizes and routes the token to the invention infrastructure for authorization. The infrastructure then correlates the token to the appropriate account and finalizing authorization and payment routing based on the correlation.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for authorizing payment credentials and transactions associated with a user digital wallet by automatic and real time utilization of one or more payment credentials applicable and optimal for a transaction initiated by the user. The invention enables a mobile digital wallet application on a user device to determine optimal payment credentials based on one or more transaction parameters comprising geographic location, transaction amount and user authentication associated with the transaction. Transmission of the optimal payment credential causes the receiving system to recognize the one or more transaction parameters and enables the system to process the transaction in accordance with the geographic location, transaction amount and/or the user authentication.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for improving the digital wallet storage system by providing hardware and software capable of provisioning, allocating, and compartmentalizing generated tokens for transaction utilization. In this way, the invention allows a user to switch out payment vehicles, payment accounts, merchants, or authorized user for one or more tokens. Thus the provisioning and allocation system allows for manipulation and provisioning of tokens, such that a user device may control the one or more payment accounts, payment vehicles, authorized users, time/date of use, and the like for each token accumulated by a user.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and computer program products are provided for promoting payment via a Person-to-Person (P2P) payment rail through use of a widget embedded in or accessible through a web page, application, electronic document, text message or the like.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and computer program products are provided for conducting person-to-person (P2P) payments via a short-range wireless payment beacon.

Abstract: A system includes a memory and a processor. The processor is coupled to the memory and causes the system to receive an electronic request for a fund transfer and initiate a debit of a first amount of a first currency from a customer account. In response to determining using cryptocurrency is optimal, the processor can transfer the first amount of the first currency into an account associated with a first cryptocurrency exchange and initiate the purchase of a first quantity of a cryptocurrency from the first cryptocurrency exchange. The processor can transfer the first quantity of the cryptocurrency to a second cryptocurrency exchange and initiate the sale of the first quantity of the cryptocurrency at the second cryptocurrency exchange. The processor is further able to initiate the transfer of at least a portion of the resulting currency to a recipient.

Abstract: System, method, and computer program product are provided for a user to send and receive P2P payments using a mobile device. Through the use of the mobile device, a user may access accounts the user has at a financial institution and direct payments to other individuals or entities using the other individuals or entities alias. Electronic document(s) may be communicated in conjunction with a payment and/or request for payment between financial institutions. For example, a sending financial institution may send a payment having a document or pointer to a document that provides an explanation of a payment or disbursement. The sender may send funds to a recipient along with a pointer or may simply send a pointer and upload a document that is stored at a location identified by the pointer. The document may be an invoice remittance, explanation of payment/reimbursement and/or explanation of benefits.
