  • Patent number: 11854012
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in processing transactions based on biometric data used in connection with authenticating consumers to payment accounts to which the transactions are directed. One exemplary method includes prompting a consumer to provide a biometric in connection with a transaction by the consumer, and receiving a payment account credential specific to a payment account for use in the transaction. The method also includes appending a biometric score and an indication of a biometric technology used to capture the biometric to an authorization request associated with the transaction, and transmitting, by the computing device, the authorization request to an issuer.

  • Patent number: 11354762
    Abstract: A wallet provider (WP) computing device is provided for extending a digital passport object stored in a digital wallet. The WP computing device includes a processor and a memory in communication with the processor. The processor is programmed to receive an augmentation request associated with the digital passport object from a requesting user device, retrieve an augmentation template and trusted authentication data based at least in part on the augmentation request, generate an augmentation package associated with the digital passport object, transmit an authentication request to an authenticating user device, receive an authentication response from the user device, determine an authentication evaluation of the augmentation package associated with the digital passport object, and transmit the updated augmentation package to the sponsoring authority.

  • Publication number: 20220101311
    Abstract: Described are systems and methods for tracking a physical currency. A computing device includes a memory device for storing data and a processor in communication with the memory device. The processor is configured to store a plurality of currency identifiers associated with a respective plurality of physical currency units and store a plurality of entity identifiers associated with a respective plurality of an individual currency accounts. The processor is further configured to create and store a first electronic record including a first currency identifier and a first entity identifier. The record indicates that a first entity is a registered owner of a first physical currency unit. The processor is further configured to create and store a second record, in response to a transfer of the first currency unit to a second entity. The second record indicates that the second entity is a registered owner of a first physical currency unit.

  • Patent number: 10891683
    Abstract: A delivery service (DS) computing device for item purchase and delivery is provided. The DS computing device displays a searchable interface that enables a user to select at least one merchant. The DS computing device receives at least one selected merchant location from the user, displays item data of the at least one selected merchant location, and receives cart data from the user. The DS computing device receives, from the user, a selection of a selected carrier, and transmits the cart data to the selected carrier. The DS computing device generates a secure virtual account number for the selected carrier. The secure virtual account number provides access to purchase funds for use, by the selected carrier, in purchasing the selected item. The DS computing device processes a payment transaction for the at least one selected item that includes the purchase funds and a delivery service fee.

  • Patent number: 10769634
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in processing transactions based on biometric data used in connection with authenticating consumers to payment accounts to which the transactions are directed. One exemplary method includes causing a biometric associated with a consumer to be received, when the consumer presents a payment device for funding a transaction with a merchant via a payment account associated with the payment device. The method also includes appending, by a computing device, a biometric score to an authorization request associated with the transaction at the merchant where the biometric score is indicative of a degree of match between the received biometric and a reference biometric, and transmitting, by the computing device, the authorization request whereby an issuer associated with the payment account is able to utilize the biometric score in determining to approve or decline the transaction.
