Abstract: Embodiments of the invention may provide systems and methods for facilitating person-to-person payments. A payer request to pay a payee identified by a first contact identifier is received. Upon failing to locate the payee in a data repository of registered payees via the first contact identifier, the first contact identifier is utilized to transmit a registration invitation to the payee. Information associated with the request may be stored pending registration by the payee, and the invitation may include a link to a payment service provider site and an indicator of the stored information. Based upon a payee selection of the link, the indicator and identifying information for the payee other than the first contact identifier is received. The received identifying information is utilized to determine a pre-existing registration of the payee with the payment service provider, and the stored information is utilized to direct a payment to the payee.

Abstract: A system and method for determining and displaying payment options in an electronic payment system is disclosed. A payee for a payor is identified. Prior to receiving a payment request to submit a payment to the payee on behalf of the payor, at least one funding method is identified from a list of potential funding methods. The at least one funding method is a funding method that is available to the payor for the payment to the payee, and the identification of the at least one funding method is based at least in part on at least one risk-based criteria. An interface screen is then generated for displaying at least one option to pay the payee, wherein the at least one option is associated with the at least one funding method.
