  • Publication number: 20220270095
    Abstract: A technique for enabling non-native accounts to be processed by a processing system may include receiving an account identifier scheme that is used by a third-party entity to provide access to accounts associated with the third-party entity, and assigning an entity identifier to the third-party entity in which the entity identifier conforms to a native format used by the processing system. An application programming interface can be modified to recognize account identifiers of the third-party entity. A transaction request can be received to execute a transaction in which the transaction request includes a resource provider identifier of the third-party entity and an account identifier of an account of the third-party entity. The entity identifier assigned to the third-party entity can be determined using the modified application programming interface, and the transaction can be processed using the entity identifier assigned to the third-party entity.

  • Publication number: 20210049560
    Abstract: A new processing method is disclosed. The processing method includes receiving by a server computer, an update request message from a first authorizing computer for an interaction between two users. The update may be a transfer of interaction value from a first user to a second user, and may include such interaction details as the interaction value and information for a one-way token. The server computer may parse the update request message to determine the one-way token, and may determine a second account of the second user from the token. The server computer may determine a second authorizing computer associated with the second account, and may modify the update request message to include a second user account identifier as well as value adjustments based on calculated interaction velocities. The server computer may forward the update request message to the second authorizing computer for updating the account accordingly.

  • Patent number: 10402815
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention facilitate payment transactions by integrating the image capture and image processing capabilities of certain mobile devices with the card-based payment transaction infrastructure. In some embodiments, a camera contained in a mobile device is used to capture an image of a barcode that is visible on the surface of a substrate. The barcode may represent or otherwise encode one or more of payment account data, consumer authentication data, consumer profile data, or other relevant information. In some embodiments, the captured image may be processed by the mobile device to extract the payment account data, authentication data, or other relevant data. This data may then be communicated to a data processing element that is connected to, or forms part of, a payment processing network in order to conduct the desired payment transaction.

  • Publication number: 20150262166
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to systems and methods related to updating a balance on a portable device through a load transaction process. In some embodiments, a transaction request message with a load indicator contained on a transaction amount data field may be sent from an access device to an issuer. The requested load amount may be contained in another data field. The load indicator in the transaction amount data field may prompt the issuer to recognize the transaction request message as a load transaction message. Thus, clearing and settlement processes need not be performed between the acquirer and the issuer. Upon confirming that a payment account identified in the transaction request message has sufficient funds, the issuer generates a transaction response message approving the load transaction. The transaction response message may include a script for updating the balance on the portable device.
