  • Publication number: 20240112169
    Abstract: A provider institution computing system includes a network interface circuit and a processing circuit. The processing circuit includes a processor coupled to a non-transitory memory. The processing circuit can receive a request to send a gift to a recipient; verify that a first account associated with the sender includes a first value of points; determine, based on the request, a first gift value having a first gift type and a second gift value having a second gift type; and provide a first gift option to the sender device for display. The processing circuit can receive a first gift selection and provide data that causes the sender device to generate and transmit the gift message to the recipient via the second messaging application. The processing circuit can receive a request for a monetary amount in lieu of the first gift selection and authenticate the recipient device.

  • Patent number: 11887098
    Abstract: A provider institution computing system comprises a network interface circuit and a processing circuit. The processing circuit includes a processor coupled to a non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuit, cause the processing circuit to perform operations. The operations include receiving a request from a first messaging application of a sender device to send a gift to a recipient device via a second messaging application of the recipient device. The operations further include verifying that a first account associated with the sender includes a first value of points and converting the first value of points to a first gift value and a second gift value that is different than the first gift value. The operations further include providing a first gift option to the first messaging application, which includes a first gift with the first gift value and a second gift with the second gift value.
