  • Publication number: 20260236916
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for authorizing a transaction comprises receiving, at a background system, physically discernible information about a vehicle associated with an authorizing party. Vehicle identification data is obtained, based on the received physically discernible information. One or more data assets are accessed in one or more databases. The one or more data assets define a plurality of associations. Each association of the plurality of associations associates identifying information about a respective vehicle with contact information. A particular association of the plurality of associations is determined. A request to authorize a transaction is sent, or caused to be sent, to a recipient identified by the contact information of the particular association. The disclosure further comprises one or more machine-readable media and a system.
