  • Publication number: 20210295280
    Abstract: Techniques for providing optimized digital information including receiving a request for authorization to access a subset of order information that corresponds to a transaction. A account server can generate a first authorization token based at least in part on the request for authorization. The account server can transmit at least the first authorization token to the application of the user device. The account server can receive a verification request comprising a second authorization token. The account server can verify whether the first authorization token matches the second authorization token. In accordance with a determination that the first authorization token matches the second authorization token, the account server can transmit, to the service provider, a verification response that instructs the service provider to provide the subset of the order information that corresponds to the transaction to the application of the user device.

  • Publication number: 20200302425
    Abstract: The disclosed technology provides enhanced financial statements such as credit statements that provide customized payment options to a customer that takes into account the total amount owed by the customer, and past payments made by the customer. The customized payment options are determined with the goal of providing more payment options that encourage financial health, while not overwhelming the customer with too many options or irrelevant options. The customized payment options can be displayed in an interactive user interface for paying a credit statement that can visually inform a user of the benefit of the respective payment options with respect to the impact of the respective payment option on the customer's financial health—at least as it pertains to a credit account for which the statement was issued.

  • Publication number: 20200234283
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to securely receiving and storing credentials. In some embodiments, a computing device includes an application executable to supply a credential to an external system. A secure circuit of the computing device is configured to send, to a credential storage, a request for the credential, the request including a first certificate identifying a first public key and a stipulation to perform a user authentication before permitting use of a first private key corresponding to the first public key. The secure circuit receives, from the credential storage, the credential encrypted using the first public key and, based on the stipulation, performs the user authentication prior to decrypting the credential and supplying it to the application. In some embodiments, the secure circuit receives the first certificate by providing information about hardware included in the computing device to a hardware verification service.

  • Publication number: 20180349881
    Abstract: A device implementing split transactions in a peer transaction system may include at least one processor configured to receive a request to transfer a transaction amount from a first account associated with a first user to a second account associated with a second user and determine that an available amount of the first account is less than the transaction amount. The at least one processor may be further configured to receive an indication of an other transaction resource and a portion of the transaction amount to be transferred from the other transaction resource and to obtain the portion of the transaction amount via the other transaction resource and a remaining portion of the transaction amount from the first account and transfer a combined amount into the second account that includes the portion of the transaction amount and the remaining portion of the transaction amount.
