TRANSACTION CONVERSION WITH PAYMENT CARD
Methods and systems for facilitating payment are described. A user presents a payment card (e.g., credit or bank card) during checkout, and payment card details are transmitted to a service provider. The service provider receives the details and determines that the payment card is linked to an account with the service provider. The service provider identifies the user account linked to the payment card and processes the transaction using the funding sources available in the user account. The funding sources used may include the payment card or may be different.
