  • Publication number: 20250148468
    Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to a modified device configuration for disposing a NFC compatible user card within a NFC field of a user mobile device so as to enable continuous proximity monitoring based on a status of an NFC link established between the card and the mobile device. The modified device configuration may be utilized to implement card tracking functionality by using a mobile application, running on the mobile device, to generate a timestamp upon detection of change in a connectivity status of the NFC link to the card. The timestamp NFC connectivity data may then be paired with mobile device GPS coordinates, concurrently retrieved from one or more mobile GPS-based navigation applications, to facilitate card tracking functionality as well as multi-factor validation for electronic transactions initiated by the NFC compatible card and/or the mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20250131429
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for authenticating a user before performing a transaction. For example, a user can initiate a transaction and a software application can collect information about the transaction and the user, generate a message, such as a message compliant with the ISO 20022 standard, and send the message to an account processing system. The processing system can determine whether the transaction is secure, then proceed with either allowing or denying the transaction.

  • Publication number: 20250132916
    Abstract: An authorization and authentication method can comprise receiving, by a server from a user device, a request to generate an access token. The request includes a demonstration of proof of possession (DPoP) Java web token (JWT) that can include a public key, a payload, and a signature. The payload can include fingerprint data of the user device and a unique identifier of a contactless card associated with a user of the user device. The method can further comprise extracting, by the server, the DPoP JWT from the request to generate an access token and verifying, by the server, the signature using the public key included in the DPoP JWT. The method can further comprise authenticating, by the server, the payload, generating, by the server, the access token, binding, by the server, the public key to the access token, and transmitting, by the server, the access token to the user device.

  • Publication number: 20250131430
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to a secure and streamlined transaction process. The systems and methods involve an administrator processor that receives user data from a user device, encrypts it, and transmits it to multiple account processing systems, each linked to a different account provider. Upon receiving notifications from the account processing systems about the account holder's transaction account, the administrator processor sends an authentication request to the user device. The user responds with an authentication credential. The administrator processor then prompts the user to select an account provider and generates a universal resource locator that launches a software application on the user's device. Once the user authenticates through the application, a second confirmation is sent to the administrator processor, which forwards it to the selected account provider. The necessary transaction information is then received by the administrator processor.

  • Patent number: 12284183
    Abstract: Systems, methods, articles of manufacture for authentication of payment cards. A server may assign, in a database, an expected card identifier to a contactless card, the contactless card associated with an account. The server may receive, from a client device, a request comprising a uniform resource locator (URL), a parameter of the URL comprising a card identifier, wherein the URL is transmitted by the contactless card to the client device. The server may extract the card identifier from the URL and compare the extracted card identifier to the expected card identifier in the database. The server may determine, based on the comparison, that the extracted card identifier matches the expected card identifier. The server may authenticate the request based on the extracted card identifier matching the expected card identifier, and transmit, to the client device, an indication specifying that the request was authenticated.

  • Publication number: 20250124427
    Abstract: In a method for broadcasting account provisioning information, user datum encryption information is transmitted to a plurality of account processing systems. A request to share account provisioning information is received from a user device associated with an account holder. A user datum of the account holder is encrypted using the encryption information and transmitted to the account processing systems. A response is received from at least one of the account processing systems, the response including an indication that the account holder has a transaction account processed by that account processing system. A request for confirmation that the account provisioning information should be shared is sent to the user device and a confirmation response is received from the user device that includes permission to share account provisioning information. Account provisioning information is then transmitted to one or more of the account processing systems.

  • Publication number: 20250126115
    Abstract: Systems and methods for successively executing an operation over multiple communication networks. In some aspects, the system obtains first access information received from a physical token and generates an operation related to an aggregated virtual container. The system determines a first communication network from the first access information and transmits, via the first communication network, the operation associated with the aggregated virtual container. If the operation was not transmitted successfully via the first communication network, the system obtains second access information received from the physical token, determines a second communication network from the second access information, and transmits, via the second communication network, the operation associated with the aggregated virtual container. If the operation was transmitted successfully via the second communication network, the system generates for display a notification that the operation has been executed.
