Abstract

A wallet services system allows a user to access his/her digital wallet during a transaction with a merchant. The merchant transmits one or more parameters and transaction information to the wallet services system that are used by the wallet services system to identify one or more wallet options available to the user for the transaction. The wallet options may include selecting one or more installment payment options for the transaction or selecting a payment account type including a combo-card payment account type.
