  • Patent number: 11030861
    Abstract: A method for processing cash-withdrawal transactions is provided. When available cash at a terminal device is less than a first amount that a user wants to withdraw, the terminal device presents a first option to the user to receive a first part of the first amount, which the terminal device is falling short of, as a voucher or a credit in a digital wallet. When the first option is selected, the terminal device displays a list of digital wallets and vouchers to the user. The terminal device communicates a first request to the payment network indicating a selection of the first option and one of a voucher or a digital wallet. Based on the first request, the payment network initiates crediting of the first part in the digital wallet or procuring of the voucher, with the terminal device dispensing the remaining part of the first amount as cash.

  • Publication number: 20200027087
    Abstract: A method for processing declined transactions is provided. A transaction decline notification for a transaction performed by a user is received in response to a first authorization request that is communicated to an issuer server. If a credit score of the user is greater than or equal to a threshold value, a data element of the first authorization request, indicating a transaction amount of the transaction, is modified to generate a second authorization request. The modified data element indicates a first amount that is lower than the transaction amount. The second authorization request is communicated to the issuer server and a transaction approval notification is received in response to the second authorization request. The transaction approval notification overrides the transaction decline notification and indicates that the transaction is approved by the issuer server, thereby making the transaction successful.
