Publication number: 20190244204Abstract: A general-purpose payment card product is linked to a designated reimbursement account. A payment card authorization request is obtained, with a full amount and a reimbursement eligible amount included therein, based on a transaction with the payment card product at a merchant. In one aspect, a payment card authorization response is returned to the merchant from an issuer of the payment card product, based on the full amount. A funding request is initiated, for the reimbursement eligible amount, from the designated reimbursement account. The payment card product and the designated reimbursement account are managed separately. In an alternative, the authorization request is intercepted by an operator of a payment network. The operator initiates a first operator authorization request for the reimbursement eligible amount, and a second operator authorization request for the full amount less the portion of the reimbursement eligible amount, and returns a coordinated response to the merchant.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2019Publication date: August 8, 2019Inventors: Edward McLaughlin, Mark Wiesman, Matthew Lanford

Publication number: 20150317633Abstract: According to some embodiments, a payment system authorization platform may receive an authorization message from an acquirer platform. The payment system authorization platform may determine that the authorization request meets a pre-determined condition and transmit information about the authorization message to an analytics rules engine, such as by transmitting the authorization message. The analytics rules engine may analyze the information about the authorization message in accordance with at least one rule to generate a result and transmit information about the authorization message to the payment system authorization platform, such as by transmitting a supplemented authorization message or an authorization approval decision, including an indication that the authorization message is assigned to a segmentation dimension category.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2015Publication date: November 5, 2015Inventors: Greg Saunders, Theunis Johannes Gerber, Mark Wiesman

Publication number: 20150039506Abstract: Systems and methods for conducting 3-D Secure transactions on-behalf-of (OBO) merchants. In an embodiment, a payer authentication response (PARes) message indicating enrollment in the 3-D Secure OBO merchants authentication service is received from an access control server by a computer and stored. The computer later receives a purchase transaction authorization request message, determines that data of the purchase transaction authorization request message matches stored PARes message data, and then injects a UCAF into the purchase transaction authorization request message to generate an updated transaction authorization request message. The updated transaction request message is then transmitted to an issuer financial institution for 3-D Secure purchase transaction authorization processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2013Publication date: February 5, 2015Applicant: MasterCard International IncorporatedInventors: Peter J.
