Abstract:
A method includes receiving an invoice token from a merchant, where the invoice token represents an invoice for an e-commerce transaction. The invoice token is transmitted to a payment services computer to request details of the invoice. The requested invoice details are received from the payment service computer, and an account is selected to support payment for the transaction. A payment transaction is initiated to settle the e-commerce transaction based on the invoice details and the account that was selected to support the payment.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for generating a secure QR code. In an embodiment, a directory service computer receives a secure QR code request from a merchant device that includes an acquirer financial institution (FI)-signed certificate. The directory service computer verifies the identity of a merchant, identifies a merchant identifier (ID), establishes an encrypted and Pinned SSL tunnel with the merchant device, and receives via the encrypted and Pinned SSL tunnel from the merchant device, a transaction message including a transaction amount, a universal unique identifier (UUID), and a transaction identifier (ID). The directory service computer then generates a Hash value, 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 data to the merchant device to conduct a purchase transaction.
Abstract:
A transaction authorization request message is received. The message includes a payment token and a merchant identifier. The payment token is detokenized to detect account mapping for the payment token. From the account mapping, it is determined that a debit transaction option and an ACH (automated clearing house) transaction option exist for the payment token. A selection is made between the debit transaction option and the ACH transaction option based at least in part on the merchant identifier.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for use in facilitating fund transfers between source accounts and destination accounts, based on source account identifiers included in computer-readable indicia. One exemplary method includes capturing, by a computing device, at least one symbol representative of a destination account identifier associated with the destination account and identifying, by the computing device, a source account. The method further includes receiving, by the computing device, at least one payment parameter and causing, by the computing device, a fund transfer transaction based on the destination account identifier, the source account identifier, and the at least one payment parameter, whereby a payment from the source account to the destination account is initiated.
Abstract:
A message routing and pre-processing (MRP) computing device is described herein. The MRP computing device is configured to receive an authorization request message associated with a transaction initiated by a cardholder with a merchant, the authorization request message including authorization parameters of the transaction, and retrieve a plurality of potential authorization routes for the authorization request message. Each potential authorization route includes routing parameters and is associated with a respective transaction processing network (TPN). The MRP computing device is also configured to compare the authorization parameters to the routing parameters of each potential authorization route to determine an optimized authorization route for the authorization request message. The optimized authorization route includes routing parameters that most closely match the authorization parameters. The optimized authorization route is associated with a first TPN. The MRP computing device is further configured to route the authorization request message to the first TPN for authorization processing.

In some embodiments, a merchant enrolls with a merchant issuer financial institution (FI) and then receives an SME financial account, a suite of shared SME business service applications, and access to a payment card acceptance service for use in setting up and scaling their business. In an implementation, the process includes receiving a request for an SME business platform, validating merchant identification data, providing an SME financial account to the merchant, transmitting an SME business platform acceptance message, and transmitting an SME business platform to the merchant device. The SME business platform includes a payment card account acceptance application and at least one business services application configured for running on the merchant device.
Abstract:
A method of conducting an electronic financial transaction over a payment network on behalf of a customer is provided using a payment application stored in a mobile device of a facilitator, the method including: receiving transaction details of the electronic financial transaction in the payment application from the customer; generating a transaction request for the electronic financial transaction based on said the transaction details received; and forwarding the transaction request to a payment gateway for processing to carry out the electronic financial transaction over the payment network, the payment gateway having stored therein account details of a payment card linked to the facilitator from which funds are authorized to be deducted or to which funds are authorized to be credited based on the transaction request to pay for or receive funds from the electronic financial transaction on behalf of the customer in exchange for the facilitator receiving cash payment from or providing cash to the customer. There is also provided a system for conducting an electronic financial transaction on behalf of a customer, and a computer program product, embodied in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, including instructions executable by a computing processor to perform the above method.
