  • Publication number: 20240135355
    Abstract: A method is disclosed. The method comprises receiving, by a digital tag computer from a receiver user device a transfer request comprising a digital tag associated with the receiver, a digital tag associated with a sender, and a transfer amount. The method then generates an identifier to be associated with the received transfer request. The digital tag computer then transmits the transfer request to a sender user device associated with the second user, where the transfer request includes the identifier associated with the request. After transmitting the transfer request, the digital tag computer receives a transfer message relating to the transfer request. Then, after receiving the transfer message, the digital tag computer transmits the transfer message.

  • 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: 20220172209
    Abstract: Transactions between account-based endpoints are performed in a two-step process that first qualifies the recipient's validity and then performs the actionable transfer. The qualification step, unlike a payment pre-qualification, validates the recipient account validity while collecting information required for filling out a transaction data set. The information may include anti-money laundering and know-your-customer information as well as specific account details needed for on-boarding. A recipient payouts service provider may be assigned a tokenized bank identification number for use in routing the transfer through existing financial processing networks. Data constructs, minimum required information, and format checks may be facilitated by initiator-side and recipient-side application program interfaces.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20200336315
    Abstract: A method for validating an interaction is disclosed. A first interaction cryptogram can be generated by a first device using information about a first party to the interaction and a second party to the interaction. A second interaction cryptogram can be generated by a second device also using information about the first party to the interaction and the second party to the interaction. Verifying each cryptogram can validate that the interaction details have not been changed, and that both the first party and second party legitimately authorized the interaction.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 8851366
    Abstract: A bank (or merchant) hosts and operates an online money transfer service (or “portal”). A sender logs into the portal and enters payment card and money transfer details and then submits the transaction. An authentication window appears displaying the sender's transaction details and the sender is prompted to enter his or her password. Upon successful authentication, the bank seeks authorization from the card issuer. Upon successful authorization, the bank credits the recipient's local bank account or existing payment card. The recipient can also receive a check, a draft, a prepaid card or cash. The money transfer service is used both cross-border and domestic to effect person-to-person money transfer. The money transfer service uses the “Verified by Visa” authentication service and VisaNet for authorization. Messages over VisaNet are used to deliver funds to a recipient.
