  • Patent number: 11170363
    Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for secure purchasing using a mobile wallet. A first mobile wallet may receive secure purchasing data related to an product from a server system associated with a merchant. The secure purchasing data (e.g., stored on a QR code) may include product information and merchant information allowing the mobile wallet to obtain a public key of the merchant. The mobile wallet may determine whether the purchase of the product requires processing by a second mobile wallet based on transaction rules and at least some of the purchasing data. Based on the determination, the first mobile wallet may either send payment data for purchasing the product to the server system of the merchant, without requesting processing by the second mobile wallet or send a request for processing to the second mobile wallet so that the second mobile wallet can approve or purchase the product.

  • Patent number: 11128619
    Abstract: Techniques are described for secure access for assisted transactions in an online banking system. A server of the online banking system is configured to establish an assisted session during which both a primary user and an assistant user have secure access to the primary user's account via their respective computing devices. The techniques enable the assistant user to request transactions with the primary user's account on the primary user's behalf, and further enable the primary user to approve the requested transactions prior to performance. The techniques include translating the requested transactions into a natural language description that is understandable to the primary user, and presenting the natural language description to the primary user for approval or denial of the requested transaction. In this way, a primary user may receive the assistance necessary to use an online banking system without giving up all control over the primary user's account.

  • Patent number: 11010759
    Abstract: A system, computer-readable storage medium and method provide a secure transaction by receiving, from a mobile wallet a request to assign a vendor specific payment account identifier (VSPAI) to a payment account identifier (PAI) associated with a user of the mobile wallet. Identifying information is verified of: (i) an issuer of the PAI, (ii) a specific vendor; and (iii) the user of the mobile wallet. In response to verifying, a unique VSPAI is created that is associated with the PAI of the user and the specific vendor. Then, when a payment request is received including the unique VSPAI for a transaction with a particular vendor, the particular vendor is verified as the specific vendor associated with the unique VSPAI. In response to verifying that the particular vendor, payment of the transaction by the issuer using the PAI associated with the unique VSPAI is facilitated.
