  • Publication number: 20220051247
    Abstract: A first apparatus comprises a processor and a memory component that stores electronic records and associated eligibility criteria, an application programming interface (API), and a shared security key. A transceiver component establishes network communication with a second apparatus using the API, which comprises instructions for implementing a transaction resolution process. The API causes the processor to receive, from the second apparatus, a first notification event message about a first transaction, the first notification event message transmitted using the shared security key, the first notification event message including a card number hashed using a predetermined signature hash protocol. The first transaction is retrieved from the memory component using the hashed card number, and data points about the first transaction are obtained.
