Abstract: Systems and methods for receiving customer payment details and generating outgoing payment details on-demand. A network-connected interface can receive customer payment details for payment of an incoming amount. A data store can store a plurality of transaction tracking records including a unique key code and an allocatable amount. A payment gateway can receive authorization data for payment of the incoming amount. An outgoing payment generator can respond to an outgoing payment request comprising an offered key code and an outgoing payment amount if the offered key code matches an existing transaction tracking record in the data store. Outgoing payment details can be generated if the outgoing amount is less than or equal to the allocatable amount. Embodiments can route the transaction such that the customer payment details are passed through to the supplier. Embodiments can make routing and generation decisions based on transaction preferences.
