  • Patent number: 12632839
    Abstract: Systems and methods for executing real-time electronic transactions by a dynamically determined transfer execution date are disclosed. One method includes receiving, at an application programing interface (API) system, an electronic transaction request on a receipt date. The API system may identify a value associated with the electronic transaction request as well as a threshold settlement date. The value may then be compared to a predetermined threshold and at least one transaction network certified to process the electronic transaction request may be ascertained. The API system may project a processing time for each of the ascertained transaction networks. An optimal transaction network and transfer execution date may be determined based on comparison of the projected processing times to a timeline designated by the receipt date and the threshold settlement date. The electronic transaction request may be processed into a recipient account on the transfer execution date via the optimal transaction network.

  • Patent number: 12548022
    Abstract: Systems and methods of executing a real-time electronic transaction by a real-time transaction system are disclosed. One method includes receiving, by an application programing interface (API) system, an electronic transaction request from a user. The API system may transmit the electronic transaction request to a choreographer system. The choreographer system may transmit a validation API call based on the electronic transaction request to an account system. The account system may determine whether an account associated with the electronic transaction request exists in the real-time transaction system. The choreographer system may transmit an authorization API call based on the electronic transaction request to an authorization system. The choreographer system may receive an authorization response from the authorization system.

  • Publication number: 20250272669
    Abstract: Systems and methods of executing a real-time electronic transaction by a UI platform are disclosed. One method includes receiving an input selection by a user to indicate an originating account, receiving account, and payment amount. The system may transmit an option for the user to carry out the transaction by using a default payment setting, and upon the user selecting this option, determining the default payment setting, payment time or date, and a transaction cost, and displaying these to user. Alternatively, the system may transmit an option for the user to carry out the electronic transaction by the user defining the payment setting, and upon selection of this choice, performing payment optimization logic to display available payment settings, receiving a selection from the user of the chosen payment setting, and displaying the payment setting including the originating account, receiving account, payment amount, delivery time or date, and transaction cost.

  • Patent number: 12373802
    Abstract: Systems and methods of executing a real-time electronic transaction by a real-time transaction system are disclosed. One method includes receiving, by a routing system, an electronic transaction request from a user. The routing system may receive routing configuration data from a data query system. The routing system may determine an optimal path for executing the electronic transaction request in accordance with a routing decision model and the routing configuration data. The routing system may transmit the electronic transaction request to a transaction network via the optimal path. The routing system may generate a transaction route data based on the optimal path. The routing system may transmit the transaction route data to a transaction event-topic stream.

  • Publication number: 20250117781
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for cross-platform token compatibility. One method comprises receiving, by a token exchange service system, a primary tokenization request from an upstream entity, generating, by the token exchange service system, one or more ancillary tokenization requests based on the primary tokenization request, and transmitting, by the token exchange service system, the one or more ancillary tokenization requests to respective one or more output token vaults. One or more ancillary tokenization responses may then be received from the one or more output token vaults, and a primary tokenization response may be generated based on the one or more ancillary tokenization responses. The primary tokenization response may be transmitted to the upstream entity.

  • Publication number: 20250029075
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for dynamic routing of electronic transactions. One method comprises receiving a request message from a merchant system and determining a routing directive associated with the request message. Upon determining the routing directive, contextual data may be retrieved based on the routing directive. Then, a final destination payment processor may be determined based on the routing directive and the contextual data. The request message may be updated based on the final destination payment processor. The updated request message may then be transmitted to a downstream entity for further processing.

  • Publication number: 20240054483
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for dynamic routing of electronic transactions while maintaining token compatibility. One method comprises receiving a request message from a merchant system and determining a final destination payment processor based on a routing directive. Upon determining the final destination payment processor, the request message may be updated by updating a message destination to the final destination payment processor and replacing an initial token with a token that is compatible with the final destination payment processor. The updated request message may then be transmitted to a downstream entity for further processing.

  • Publication number: 20230360030
    Abstract: Systems and methods for executing a batch of electronic transactions. One method may include: receiving, at a user interface of an information handling device associated with the real time transaction system, a selection to import a transaction file, wherein the transaction file comprises a listing of a plurality of transaction requests; identifying, via analysis of the transaction file, one or more characteristics associated with each of the plurality of transaction requests in the listing; determining, based on the identified one or more characteristics, whether a subset of the plurality of transaction requests are deficient; isolating, responsive to the determining, the subset from a remainder of the plurality of transaction requests; and facilitating, responsive to receiving user authorization input, a transaction process for each of the plurality of transaction requests in the remainder.
