Abstract: A computer-implemented method for verifying cardholder authenticity when provisioning a token is provided. The method uses an authentication server system having a processor and a memory. The method includes receiving, by the processor, a payment card account identifier provided by a payment requestor. The payment card account identifier for identifying a payment account associated with a cardholder. The method also includes determining a plurality of authentication data associated with the payment requestor, and performing an authentication process using the plurality of authentication data. The authentication process is configured to determine if the payment requestor is the cardholder. The method further includes determining an assurance level associated with the authentication process. The assurance level represents a level of confidence in the authentication process.

Abstract: Techniques for authorization of usage of a payment device include facilitating an issuer of the device obtaining an authorization message for an account number associated with the device, based on desired spending limit parameters established by a merchant and/or an issuer of the device; facilitating obtaining an issuer authorization decision; and responsive to the issuer authorization decision, facilitating setting a spending limit for the account number based on at least an appropriate one of the parameters.
