  • Patent number: 11379816
    Abstract: A novel method of allowing secure payments from a purchaser to a seller through the utilization of a combined server platform/vault server system. Such a system entails the generation of a subscription service that allows for authentication of a consumer's credit card in terms of pre-approved identification for future transactions. Such a system initiates a tokenization procedure through transfer of credit card information to the server platform through the vault program and to issuing banks/card providers. Upon acceptance thereof, the vault server generates a token that correlates to a specific credit card of a specific user that is then stored on the server platform. Upon request from a subscribing merchant for acceptance of a tokenized card for payments, the user merely needs to provide an identifying code to access the card for such a purpose.
