Abstract: A method for application of account and transaction controls on a payment token includes: storing, in a first device of a system, a control profile including a token number and transaction controls; storing, in a second device of the system, a token profile including the token number and a corresponding account number; receiving, at the first device, a transaction message including a data element having the token number and additional transaction data; determining, by the first device, compliance with the transaction controls based on the additional transaction data; transmitting the transaction message from the first to the second device; replacing, by the second device, the token number with the account number in the transaction message; and transmitting, by the second device, the transaction message to a financial institution associated with the account number.

Abstract: A contactless transaction terminal and method for interacting with a payment enabled mobile device to permit access to a location or to a service. The contactless transaction terminal includes a processor, a polling signal generator operably connected to the processor, an NFC circuit operably connected to the polling signal generator, and a receiver operably connected to the NFC circuit and to a data recovery circuit that is operably connected to the processor. Also included is a storage device operably connected to the processor.

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.

Abstract: A method of operating a payment-enabled mobile device includes detecting, by the mobile device, that the mobile device is in proximity to a non-retail contactless transaction terminal. The method further includes permitting operation of an application program in the mobile device. The permitting of operation of the application program is in response to the detected proximity of the non-retail contactless transaction terminal. The operation of the application program is to engage in a transaction with the non-retail contactless transaction terminal while bypassing a user verification feature of the application program.

Abstract: A payment-enabled mobile device runs a merchant wallet application. The mobile device engages in a transaction with the merchant at the point of sale. Transaction detail data is transmitted from the wallet application to a transaction authentication server. The transaction detail data includes details of the transaction. A response message from the authentication server is received by the payment-enabled mobile device. Payment credential information is made available to a POS terminal operated by the merchant and/or to a payment processor acting for the merchant.
