  • Patent number: 11915235
    Abstract: Systems and methods for interoperable network token processing are provided. A network token system provides a platform that can be leveraged by external entities (e.g., third party wallets, e-commerce merchants, payment enablers/payment service providers, etc.) or internal payment processing network systems that have the need to use the tokens to facilitate payment transactions. A token registry vault can provide interfaces for various token requestors (e.g., mobile device, issuers, merchants, mobile wallet providers, etc.), merchants, acquirers, issuers, and payment processing network systems to request generation, use and management of tokens. The network token system further provides services such as card registration, token generation, token issuance, token authentication and activation, token exchange, and token life-cycle management.

  • Publication number: 20230267455
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided for enabling a transaction using a token associated with a first payment network to be conducted using a second payment network. When a transaction using a token is submitted to a payment network, the payment network can determine the payment network associated with the token. If the token is associated with a second payment network, a token verification request including the token can be sent to the second payment network. The second payment network can then return a token verification response including a primary account identifier such as a primary account number (PAN) corresponding to the token and a validation result. The transaction may then be processed using the primary account identifier.

  • Patent number: 11127016
    Abstract: A method for tokenizing credentials is disclosed. In addition to a token, a verification value can be provided for each interaction. The verification value can be generated based at least in part on a dynamic data element. The dynamic data element may be kept secret, while the verification value can be distributed for use during an interaction. When the verification value is used, it can be validated by re-creating the verification value based at least on the stored dynamic data element.

  • Publication number: 20200273031
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for providing secure end-to-end transactions between consumers, merchants, and banks. A unique identifier is generated based on information specific to the device and information specific to the user and stored in a secure area of a device. A programming module executing on the device may initiate a transaction and interact with a merchant system to complete the transaction. Information provided by the programming module may enable the merchant system to negotiate with a banking system to complete the transaction. Profile information of a user may be collected by a programming module according to user selected preferences. An interface system may provide visual content to a merchant system and a banking system to verify consumer identity.
