Abstract: A method for processing an electronic payment transaction includes: storing a data entry including an agreement identifier, a merchant identifier, an issuer identifier, and an interchange rate in a database; receiving a transaction request message associated with an electronic payment transaction between a merchant and a user, the transaction request message including a plurality of data fields including a transaction amount, the merchant identifier, and the issuer identifier; querying the database to retrieve the agreement identifier; and generating an authorization request message and/or a transaction response message including a data field including the agreement identifier and causing settlement of the electronic payment transaction based on the at least one first interchange rate associated with the first agreement identifier.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to settlement processing. More particularly, techniques (e.g., systems, methods, and devices) are disclosed for facilitating direct settlement of transactions for a specific transacting entity. Techniques are disclosed to enable reporting of transacting entity-specific settlement information to further enhance the settlement process. In certain embodiments, a processing system may perform direct settlement with a transacting entity for transactions involving the transacting entity. The transactions may be identified using a unique identifier assigned to the transacting entity associated with those transactions. During settlement, the processing system can directly communicate with a financial institution of the transacting entity, as opposed to an acquirer, to facilitate settlement of the transactions that are identified as being associated with the transacting entity.

Abstract: Methods and systems for anti money laundering screening are provided. A risk score and a first validation code is determined based on information related to a funds transfer transaction. The first validation code is associated with the risk score. Thereafter, a second validation code is calculated and compared with the first validation code. The risk score and the validation score are included in a payment authorization message sent to a payment processing network. The payment processing network extracts the validation code and communicates the payment authorization message including the risk score to a receiving financial institution. The receiving financial entity accepts or denies the incoming funds transfer based on the risk score included in the payment authorization message.

Abstract: Methods and systems for anti money laundering screening are provided. The method includes determining a risk score and a first validation code associated with the risk score, based on information related to a funds transfer transaction and independently calculating a second validation code and comparing with the first validation code. The method further includes including the risk score and the validation score in a payment authorization message. The receiving financial entity accepts or denies the incoming funds transfer based on the risk score included in the payment authorization message.
