  • Patent number: 12062038
    Abstract: Technology is disclosed for transferring money anonymously between a sender and a recipient by use of a one-time use token. The method includes generating a one-time use token account for association with a one-time use token. The method includes generating the token and providing the token to the sender device in a machine-readable and transferable format. The method includes receiving a request to charge the one-time use token account after the token has been provided to the recipient device as a form of payment for a transaction. The method includes determining that an amount of the transaction is less than an amount of funds associated with the token and that the time of the transaction is within a time period for the use of the token. The method includes facilitating a transfer to the recipient account and deducting the amount of the transaction from a sender account.

  • Patent number: 10963868
    Abstract: Technology is disclosed for transferring money anonymously between a sender and a recipient by use of a token. In some embodiments, the disclosed technology involves communication between a mobile payment application (“App”) and a payment service system (PSS). Upon the recipient's request, the App, installed on the recipient's device, generates the token, and provides the token to both the recipient and the PSS. The PSS receives both the token and the recipient's identification information from the App, associates the token with the identification information, and stores such association. The recipient, on the other hand, transfers the token to the sender, who forwards it to the PSS to request a money transfer. The PSS receives the token and identifies the recipient's identification information based on the previously stored association with the token. With the identification information, the PSS determines the recipient's financial account to execute the money transfer.

  • Patent number: 10037517
    Abstract: Techniques and arrangements for managing risk of fraudulent transactions made by a point-of-sale (POS) device operating in an online and an offline mode. In some instances, a payment service may maintain a merchant profile with a list of merchant specific criteria. The payment service may encrypt and send the merchant specific criteria to the POS device associated with the merchant. The encrypted data may include a list of payment instruments used in previous successful transactions, customer transaction histories, and other customer information. The POS device may determine, upon receiving a payment instrument identifier in a transaction, whether the payment instrument has been used in a previous successful transaction. If the POS device determines the payment instrument has been used, it may process the transaction. If not, the POS device may warn the merchant that the transaction is a high-risk transaction.
