  • Publication number: 20230177484
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in distributing payment transaction notifications. One example computer-implemented method includes identifying, by a computing device, transaction data for a transaction associated with a child token and identifying, in a token data structure, a parent token, which is different than the child token and which is associated with the child token. The computer-implemented method also includes determining that the parent token is enrolled for notifications and then, based on determining that the parent token is enrolled for notifications, transmitting, by the computing device, a notification to a communication device associated with the parent token, the notification indicative of the transaction and including at least a portion of the transaction data.

  • Patent number: 11568380
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in distributing payment transaction notifications. One exemplary method includes identifying, by a computing device, transaction data for a transaction associated with a child token to a group payment account and identifying, by the computing device, in a data structure, a parent token with which the child token is associated. The parent token is enrolled to receive a notification for the transaction associated with the child token. As such, the method further includes transmitting, by the computing device, a notification to a communication device of a group member associated with the parent token in response to the transaction involving the child token, where the notification includes transaction data associated with the transaction such that the transaction is thereby identified to the group member along with the associated transaction data.

  • Patent number: 11151556
    Abstract: A method for distributing controlled tokens to a secondary mobile device includes: storing account profiles, each including an account identifier, set of token credentials, and an associated mobile device identifier; receiving a token distribution request from a first mobile device including a first mobile device identifier, recipient mobile device identifier, specific account identifier, and account controls; identifying a specific account profile including the specific account identifier and first mobile device identifier; generating a single use identification value and reservation identifier; transmitting the single use identification value to the first mobile device; transmitting the reservation identifier to a second mobile device associated with the recipient mobile device identifier; receiving the reservation identifier and the single use identification value from the second mobile device; verifying the reservation identifier and single use identification value received from the second mobile device;
