  • Publication number: 20150254648
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose utilizing a token associated with a payment device to enter into transactions. In some embodiments the token is associated directly with a payment device, while in other embodiments the token may be associated with a digital wallet that is associated with the payment device. Particularly, embodiments of the present invention may create a managed digital wallet for a client. A client may then designate individuals to participate in the wallet as an administrator and/or as a user. The present invention may allow a client to control the purchases of a user of the account using the token through the use of limits. Each of the users associated with the account may be assigned one or more individual tokens to use with the digital wallet to enter into transactions instead of using the actual account information of accounts associated with the digital wallet.

  • Publication number: 20150254663
    Abstract: The present invention includes an apparatus and method configured to: receive a request to complete a financial transaction, wherein the request includes a token that is associated with a financial account from which funds are provided to pay for the financial transaction. The system and method determines transaction information associated with the financial transaction and then determines both: a limit associated with the token and/or the financial account associated with the token; and one or more exceptions to the limit. In some embodiments, the system and method determine that the financial transaction triggers the limit and then determines whether the financial transaction qualifies for an exception to the limit based on a comparison of the transaction information to the one or more exceptions. In an embodiment, the financial transaction is authorized when the financial transaction triggers the limit but qualifies for the exception to the limit.
