  • Patent number: 11551255
    Abstract: A computer system includes a processor, a communication interface, and a database. The communication interface is configured to receive, from a computing device, a coupon request message, wherein the message includes a first unique coupon program ID. The processor is programmed with computer-executable instructions that cause the processor to extract, from the coupon request message, the first unique coupon program ID. In addition, the processor matches the first unique coupon program ID to a second unique coupon program ID stored in the database. Furthermore, the processor generates, by a token service system, a digital coupon token. The digital coupon token is associated with the first and second unique coupon program IDs. Moreover, the processor is programmed to transmit the digital coupon token to the computing device.

  • Patent number: 11093375
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in testing a target application, including target applications for a payment network. One exemplary computer-implemented method includes deploying, to a computing device hosting a target application, an application monitor and executing a test script directed to the target application during a test interval, where the test script defines an input to the target application and at least one expected output when the target application receives said input. The method also includes identifying an observation when the output of the target application, in response to said input, is different than the at least one expected output and communicating an observation flag to the application monitor. The method further includes receiving forensic details associated with the computing device and generated within a predefined interval of the observation, and storing the forensic details associated with the observation.

  • Patent number: 10990955
    Abstract: A method for contactless withdrawal at an automated teller machine includes: receiving, by a receiver of a computing device, a first signal indicating proximity to a first predetermined geographic location; displaying, by a display interfaced with the computing device, a prompt associated with the predetermined geographic location; receiving, by an input device interfaced with the computing device, one or more parameters and a credential selection; receiving, by the computing device, a second signal indicating proximity to a second predetermined geographic location; and transmitting, by a transmitter of the computing device, at least the one or more parameters and credentials associated with the credential selection to an automated teller machine located at the second predetermined geographic location.

  • Patent number: 10210075
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in testing a target application, including target applications for a payment network. One exemplary method includes generating a test script for the target application, based on at least one requirement of the target application. The test script defines at least one input to the target application and associated with the at least one requirement. The exemplary method further includes binding, in response to a user input, at least one element of the target application to at least one input of the test script.
