  • Publication number: 20170316401
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide for facilitating a transaction using a communication device associated with a user. Certain embodiments allow for provisioning a communication device for use with an enhanced primary account identifier. The enhanced primary account identifier includes a primary account identifier (PAI) and a primary account identifier sequence number (PSI). The PSI is unique to the communication device and may be de-provisioned if the communication device is lost or stolen. A replacement communication device may be provisioned for use with a newly generated unique PSI without having to generate a new PAI.

  • Publication number: 20170200165
    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: 20160292686
    Abstract: Authentication systems and methods are provided for credential activation and/or provisioning. A transaction is made by a transaction processor to a user's credential account that contains a value and an activation code. The user retrieves the activation code from his or her account and provides it to the transaction processor. If the activation codes match, the credential may be activated.

  • Publication number: 20160119296
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to methods, apparatuses, computer readable media and systems for providing a token service environment that allows a token requesting party (e.g. token requestor) to specify parameters for token generation for controlling and customizing the token generation process. For example, the token requesting party may specify (e.g. select from a list or provide a list of) the accounts for tokenization. The accounts may be identified by account identifiers (e.g. account numbers) or bank identification numbers (BINs). The token requesting party may also specify encryption keys for the tokens to be generated. The token requesting party may also specify additional parameters such as notification thresholds indicating when notifications associated with the tokens are to be generated.

  • Publication number: 20150199679
    Abstract: An issuer computer may store a primary account number, and may generate a series of first payment tokens for a plurality of payment devices used by a consumer. The issuer computer may then provide the first payment tokens to a payment processing server computer. The payment processing server computer may then generate a plurality of second payment tokens corresponding to the first payment tokens. The second payment tokens may then be provisioned onto the consumer's payment devices.

  • Publication number: 20150046338
    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.

  • Publication number: 20150032626
    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: 20150032625
    Abstract: Systems and methods for communicating risk using token assurance data 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. An authorization request message can include a token assurance level code that is indicative of a token assurance level associated with a generated token. External or internal entities may use the token assurance level to evaluate risk associated with a payment transaction that uses the token.

  • Publication number: 20130325722
    Abstract: The methods and systems described herein include a data gateway adapted to automate payment reconciliation between a buyer and a supplier of goods and services. The data gateway can be configured to receive and validate payment instructions for one or more payment transactions between the buyer and the supplier to select a payment method based on the payment instructions. Transaction request messages are generated and transmitted to a payment processing network or a payment transfer system associated with the selected payment method. A payment reconciliation message can then be generated and transmitted by the data gateway to a buyer adapter associated with a buyer computer system and a supplier adapter associated with a supplier computer system when the data gateway receives payment authorization from the payment processing network or payment transfer system.
