Abstract: A distributed enhanced payment processing system includes a merchant point of sale (POS) terminal system and a remote payment management system. The POS terminal system initiates a transaction that includes receiving a payment amount, a purchaser account identifier, a virtual electronic payment indicator, and a merchant ID via a payment client. Subsequently, the POS terminal system outputs the transaction to the remote payment management system which generates a token for the transaction. The payment management system then provides the purchaser account identifier, a merchant account identifier, and the payment amount to a remote virtual electronic payment (VEP) entity system. Upon receiving a VEP entity system response, the payment management system outputs the response and token to the POS terminal system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for payment processing on devices are provided. Such systems and methods enable payment processing to be completed with a peripheral device (such as a magnetic card reader) and a point of sales system, without the need for extensive developer integration. The system receives a payment charge amount from a point of sales system. The system also detects (or dynamically populates) peripheral devices that are used to capture account information. The peripheral device is a supported device type with an associated library, which includes data for properly interfacing with the peripheral device. The system provides the captured account data, a merchant ID and the amount of the charge to a payment management system. The system likewise receives a response (approve or decline) from the payment management system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for secure virtualized intermediated configuration and control of payment processing peripheral devices, as may be embodied in a SNIPP system, are provided. Such systems and methods enable the request of purchaser payment information from payment processing peripheral device(s) on behalf of a POS system and the aggregation and association of that purchaser payment information with a corresponding purchase transaction received from the POS system. The purchase transaction and the payment transaction are aggregated and thereby associated; and the resulting aggregated payment transaction is submitted to an electronic payments processing facility that responds with a confirmation indicating ‘acceptance’ or ‘denial’ of the payment transaction. The confirmation is relayed to the POS system and possibly to the payment processing peripheral device(s) such that it may be displayed to the purchaser and/or an attendant.

Abstract: An arbitraged enhanced payment processing system in association with a distributed enhanced payment processing system includes a merchant point of sale (POS) terminal system and a remote payment management system. The POS terminal system initiates a transaction that includes receiving a payment amount, a purchaser account identifier, a virtual electronic payment indicator, and a merchant ID via a payment client. Subsequently, the POS terminal system outputs the transaction to the remote payment management system which generates a token for the transaction. The payment management system then provides the purchaser account identifier, a merchant account identifier, and the payment amount to a payment processing servicer. Upon receiving a payment processing servicer response, the payment management system outputs the response and token to the POS terminal system.

Abstract: An expedited automated merchant boarding system in association with a distributed enhanced payment processing system includes a merchant point of sale (POS) terminal system and a remote enhanced payment management system (EPMS). The remote EPMS pre-boards anticipated POS terminal system components and records pre-boarding results information. The POS terminal system initiates merchant boarding by transmitting merchant account information. The remote EPMS receives merchant account information and establishes a merchant account. The POS terminal system utilizes protocol transactions including auto-boarding information to initiate auto-boarding with the remote EPMS. The remote EPMS auto-boards the POS terminal system utilizing received auto-boarding information and recorded pre-boarding results. The remote EPMS turns up selected payment management services for the merchant POS terminal system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing mobile payments is provided. An account issuer provides an application that is loaded onto a mobile device, which enables a consumer to pay for transactions. The mobile payment application generates a unique code. The code is read by the point of sale terminal, which is then provided to the payment management system. The payment management system contracts the account issuer and authenticates the code, thereby receiving a primary account number. Account number and transaction information is used to authorize the transaction via payment systems. The payment system accepts or declines the transaction in a response. Tokens may be generated for the account number, and value added services may be generated based upon user behaviors.

Abstract: Systems and methods for multi-merchant tokenization may include receiving a transaction from a point of sale terminal of a merchant, validating the merchant ID against merchant logs, and generating a token for the transaction. The token includes a primary account number, expiration, and a group ID. Additionally, the system provides the primary account number to a payment system and receives a response back. The response is then output back to the merchant along with the token. In subsequent transactions, the system may receive the token from a one point of sale terminal of the merchant. The system validates the merchant ID against merchant logs and ensures the merchant is configured for tokenization. The token is decrypted and the group ID is compared to the merchant ID in the merchant logs. When they match, the primary account number is provided to the payment system for approval.

Abstract: Cost altering payment services (“CAPS”) system in association with a distributed enhanced payment (“DEP”) processing system includes a merchant point of sale (“POS”) terminal system and a remote enhanced payment management system (“EPMS”). The remote EPMS receives payment transactions including additional risk mitigating payment transaction (“RMPT”) information and based on that additional RMPT information provides altered transaction costs. The remote EPMS provides facilities for the merchant to review and revise payment management services so as to utilize additional RMPT information received from the merchant POS terminal system so as to alter transaction costs. Such facilities provide information to determine the relative potential transaction cost benefits of various payment management service sets utilizing cost profiles that represent the costs of archival, recorded and projected future transactions.
