Abstract:
A method includes a processor receiving transaction information from a merchant device, which includes a transaction amount, merchant identifying information and customer addressing information. The processer transmits the merchant identifying information to a customer mobile device, and receives a payment transaction request to transfer funds from a customer account to a merchant. The processor translates the customer addressing information into a customer payment card account number, and the merchant identifying information into a merchant payment card account number. The processor then transmits the payment transaction request to the customer's issuer financial institution, which request includes the customer payment card account number, the transaction amount, and the merchant payment card account number.
Abstract:
Systems and apparatus for providing merchants with real-time funds availability for payment card account system transactions. In an embodiment, the system includes a bridging network computer having a processor operably coupled to a storage device and to a communication device, a payment network, a merchant acquirer bank computer, and a plurality of issuer bank computers. The storage device of the bridging network computer stores instructions which when executed cause the processor to receive a payment card account system transaction request, determine that the merchant selected electronic funds transfer (EFT) settlement for the accepted payment card account transaction, determine that the payment card account transaction is eligible for real-time EFT settlement, determine that both the merchant acquirer bank and an issuer are participants in a real-time EFT settlement arrangement, and then transmit instructions to an issuer bank computer to credit a holding account and to execute via an EFT transaction request a transfer of funds in real-time for the transaction amount to the merchant acquirer bank.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving a request for payment credentials. The request indicates an account from which payment for a transaction is to be made. A payment token is looked-up that corresponds to the indicated account. Dynamic expiry data and a dynamic token verification code are generated. As a response to the request, the looked-up payment token, the generated dynamic expiry data and the generated dynamic token verification code are transmitted.
Abstract:
A request for payment message is received. The message includes transaction data. A transaction identifier is generated. The transaction data is stored in association with the transaction identifier. The transaction identifier is transmitted to an acquirer bank. A request to retrieve data is received from a payer's bank. The request to retrieve data includes the transaction identifier. At least some of the transaction data is transmitted to the payer's bank. A confirmation is received from the payer's bank. The confirmation indicates that a real-time payment has been made in accordance with the request for payment message.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for generating a secure QR code for use in a purchase transaction. In an embodiment, a directory service computer verifies the identity of a merchant by matching an acquirer financial institution (FI)-signed certificate and a stored certificate, wherein the acquirer FI-signed certificate was received from a merchant device along with a secure QR code request. The directory service computer then establishes an encrypted and Pinned SSL tunnel with the merchant device, receives a transaction message including a transaction amount, a universal unique identifier (UUID), and a transaction identifier (ID), updates an application transaction count (ATC) associated with the merchant, and generates and stores a secure one-way Hash value, generated by using a merchant identifier (ID), the transaction amount, the ATC, the UUID, and the transaction ID. The directory service computer next generates a dynamic secure QR code by combining the Hash value, the transaction ID and the merchant ID, and transmits the dynamic secure QR code to the merchant device for use in conducting a purchase transaction.
Abstract:
A method of routing a payment transaction includes receiving a transaction request message. The message includes a payment token that was previously issued to an account holder. The payment token is translated into a funding account indicator. The funding account indicator is in a format defined for payment card account numbers in a payment account system. The funding account indicator is translated into a bank account number. The bank account number identifies a bank deposit account owned by the account holder. An EFT message is transmitted to initiate an EFT transaction to be funded from the bank deposit account owned by the account holder. The EFT message includes the bank account number.
Abstract:
In operating a payment card account transaction acquirer computer, a transaction request message is received from a merchant. The message represents a purchase transaction accepted by the merchant. The transaction request message is in a format required by a payment card account system. The message includes an indication that funds corresponding to the purchase transaction are to be transferred to a bank account to benefit the merchant via an EFT system. The indication is detected by the payment card account transaction acquirer computer. That computer stores a record of the purchase transaction. In response to the detection of the indication, a flag is set in the record. The flag indicates that the record is not to be submitted for clearing in the payment card account system.
Abstract:
A method of operating a payment network bridging computer includes receiving a first transaction request message in the payment network bridging computer. The first transaction request message includes a first addressing indicator that represents a funding account. The first addressing indicator is of a type used in a payment card account system. The method also includes translating the first addressing indicator to a second addressing indicator. The second addressing indicator being of a type used in an EFT system. The method further includes transmitting a second transaction request message from the payment network bridging computer. The second transaction request message includes the second addressing indicator. The second addressing indicator represents the funding account.
Abstract:
One or more embodiments provide a system and method comprising receiving at a device a first token associated with a first account; executing a transaction; recording the executed transaction at each of the device and the first token, wherein the execution of the transaction is offline; and balancing the account associated with the first token per the transaction when the first token is online after the executed transaction. Numerous other aspects are provided.
