A financial institution can provide a best price guarantee to debit or credit card account holders. By providing a consolidated system including automatic price monitoring of purchased products and automatic claim form generation upon identifying a lower price, the consumer is relieved of the burden typically associated with conventional price matching. An exemplary method comprises receiving, by a server, purchase information from a financial customer, wherein the purchase information comprises a purchase price and purchased product description and wherein the customer has a credit or debit card issued by the financial institution; storing, by the server, the purchase information in a first database; locating, by the server, from a second database, stored product information corresponding to the received purchased product description, wherein the stored product information comprises a lowest price datum; comparing, by the server, the lowest price datum to the purchase price; and, if the lowest price datum is less than the purchase price, generating a claim form for the financial customer.

Methods and system for transferring funds supports funds transfers from a source account to a cash access file which can be accessed virtually twenty-four hours a day by both customers and non-customers. Cash may be transferred across international borders and dispensed in a currency different than that of the sender's source account and is made available to a recipient virtually as soon as the requested transfer is approved and confirmed by the sender. A subset of payees that is uniquely associated with the sender and includes a payee and a destination account for the payee is presented in a payee list database. Thereafter, a payee list is displayed for the sender at a terminal in response to entry of a request by the sender for a transfer of funds, and upon selection by the sender of a payee from the payee list and entry of a requested transfer amount, the requested amount is transferred e.g. to a branch of the sender's bank located in a different country via the network switch and, for example, thereafter routed to the payee's destination account in a different bank for withdrawal by the payee.

The methods and systems disclosed herein attempt to overcome the deficiencies of the conventional methods and systems by providing a prepaid card for reimbursing a healthcare service provider for the cost of providing a patient with a specific healthcare service. A prepaid card can identify a specific healthcare service and can be used by a patient at a healthcare service provider to obtain the healthcare service of administering a controlled substance for which the patient does not have a prescription. The prepaid card can be associated with one or more accounts of third parties who may be financially responsible for reimbursing the healthcare service provider for the cost of providing the controlled substance and/or the specific healthcare service to the patient.

Methods and systems for controlling certificate-based open payment transactions involving a merchant and a customer utilizing various types of networks and terminals. Prior to accessing a merchant POS terminal or, for example, a merchant website, a customer obtains a certificate from a service provider (SP), such as a bank, certifying his identification (ID) and his relevant financial information, in a form that is understandable by the SP. The SP is capable of performing multiple functions. For example, the SP is capable of acting as a certificate authority when it issues the customer's certificates, an authenticator when it receives private-key encrypted certificates from the customers to be decrypted using the corresponding public-key, and an authorizing authority when it checks the value available in a customer' chosen payment account against the requested purchase or transfer amount.

Methods and systems for generating and reusing dynamic web content involve, for example, automatically generating client-side code on a server at run time, and automatically downloading the client-side code to the client side at run time. The client-side code is executed on the client side to become a widget with dynamic behavior attributes displayed as a component of a web page on a display screen of a client-side computing device. Dynamic behavior of the client-side code may triggered via an event handler mechanism wherein properties of the client-side code are dynamically changed without affecting any other content on the web page. The widget may be redisplayed on a subsequent occasion with a change in the widget without regenerating the client-side code.

Methods and systems for secure user authentication using a OTP involve, for example, pre-storing a OTP application on a first computing device for generating a valid OTP value for the user responsive to receiving entry of a valid PIN value of the user, no part of the valid PIN value is stored on the first computing device and pre-storing on a back-end server the valid PIN value and a valid shared secret for the user. Upon receiving entry of a purported PIN value of the user, a purported shared secret is dynamically synthesized on the first computing device by the OTP application based on the purported PIN value of the user and a purported OTP value is generated on the first computing device. When entry of the purported OTP value is received by the back-end server in an attempt to log on the back-end server from a second computing device, the back-end server cryptographically calculates a window of OTP values, and log on to the back-end server from the second computing device is allowed if the calculated window of OTP values corresponds to the received OTP value.

Methods and systems for routing payment transactions electronically involve interrogating by computer logic each payment transaction received by a payments interface processor to identify a payment destination and a payment source and to determine, according to pre-defined parameters, whether the payment transaction is eligible for processing via an internal payment transaction processor of the financial institution that minimizes processing costs. Eligible payment transactions may be routed, for example, to an internal debit or credit card processor or ACH processor, and ineligible payment transactions may be routed to external card processing networks.

A method and system of managing a mortgage rebate transaction card account in which a transaction card provider computes a mortgage rebate amount based on the amount of charges incurred against the account and periodically arranges for application of the mortgage rebate amount against a mortgage loan balance for the cardholder. The account is provided by the transaction card provider in connection with either a pre-existing mortgage loan of the cardholder or a prospective mortgage loan of the cardholder. Further, the account can be provided in connection with a mortgage loan from any mortgage lender regardless of the existence or non-existence of an affiliation or association between the transaction card provider and the mortgage lender.
