  • Patent number: 9558483
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for transferring value from to a payment account associated with a virtual wallet of a consumer. The value can be transferred using voucher-based transactions or cash-based transactions. One exemplary method includes receiving, at a computing device, a load request to transfer value to a payment account associated with a consumer. The load request includes the value to be transferred and a directory number for a mobile device associated with the consumer. The method also includes determining an account number for the consumer's payment account, at the computing device, based on the directory number for the consumer's mobile device and generating, by the computing device, a request indicating the value to transfer to the payment account and the account number for the consumer's payment account.

  • Publication number: 20160321621
    Abstract: Systems and methods for producing checks and paystub information from an automated teller machine (“ATM”) are described. The ATM transmits either a check request or a paystub information request to a payment card network, which transmits the received request to a card issuer. In the case of a check request, the card issuer verifies sufficient funds within a cardholder account. In the case of a paystub information request, the card issuer transmits the request to an employer payroll computer, which transmits the requested paystub information back to the card issuer. The card issuer transmits the draft authorization or the paystub information to the payment card network. The ATM ultimately receives the draft authorization and thereby produces a check or money order, or receives the paystub information and thereby provides the cardholder with the information.

  • Publication number: 20160321623
    Abstract: Systems and methods of providing a flat fee automated teller machine (“ATM”) program are described. An operator of a transacted ATM may receive an inquiry from the ATM regarding whether a transacted ATM card is enrolled in the flat fee ATM program. The ATM operator may have access a database to determine if the transacted ATM card is enrolled in the flat fee ATM program, or the ATM operator may transmit the inquiry to the transacted ATM card's issuer, through a payment card network. The ATM operator may instruct the transacted ATM whether to charge a transaction fee depending on information accessed in the database by the ATM operator or on a response generated by the ATM card issuer.

  • Patent number: 9477957
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for transferring value from a voucher to a payment account associated with a consumer. One exemplary method includes receiving, at a computing device, a load request to transfer value from a voucher to a payment account associated with a consumer. The load request includes a selection, at the computing device, of a provider associated with the voucher, from multiple different available voucher providers. A transaction request is then communicated, by the computing device, to transfer the value from the voucher to the payment account. The transaction request includes an identification number for the voucher and an account number for the payment account. When a transfer authorization is received at the computing device in response to the transaction request, a confirmation is generated, by the computing device, indicating that the value from the voucher has been transferred to the payment account.
