Abstract

A point-of-sale (POS) system may use biometric or other contactless techniques to determine tokenization data that attributes a transaction with a particular payment account for settlement. A first payment method specified by a user for use at the POS may be issued by a first bank that does not participate in tokenization. A second payment account associated with a different entity and issued by a second bank that does support tokenization is associated with the first payment method. The POS transaction completes, using a token associated with the second payment account. Another transaction then takes place in which the second bank charges the first bank for the amount of the completed transaction.

Claims (94)

1. A system comprising:

a first memory storing first computer-executable instructions; and

one or more hardware processors to execute the first computer-executable instructions to:

receive from a first device:

biometric data, and

first transaction data indicative of a first transaction amount;

determine, based on the biometric data, a user account associated with the biometric data;

determine a first payment account, associated with the user account, that does not support tokenization;

determine a second payment account that has been assigned to the user account responsive to the first payment account not supporting tokenization, wherein the second payment account supports tokenization;

create, based on the second payment account, a token;

send the token to the first device;

receive second transaction data indicative of a second transaction amount that is based on the token;

determine the first transaction amount is equal to the second transaction amount;

determine, based on the first payment account, third transaction data indicative of the first transaction amount; and

initiate a transaction, based on the third transaction data, to settle the first transaction amount from the first payment account.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first payment account is associated with a first entity and the second payment account is associated with a second entity.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first device acquires the biometric data using one or more of:

a camera,

a fingerprint scanner, or

a microphone.

4. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, from a user device, biometric data and first transaction data indicative of a first transaction amount that is associated with the biometric data;

determining, based on the biometric data, a first user account;

determining a first payment account associated with the first user account that does not support tokenization, wherein the first payment account is associated with a first entity;

determining a second payment account that has been assigned to the first user account responsive to the first payment account not supporting tokenization, wherein the second payment account supports tokenization, and wherein the second payment account is associated with a second entity;

generating, based on the second payment account, a token;

sending the token;

receiving second transaction data indicative of a second transaction amount that is based on the token;

determining the first transaction amount is equal to the second transaction amount;

determining, based on the first payment account, third transaction data indicative of the first transaction amount; and

initiating a transaction, based on the third transaction data, to settle the first transaction amount from the first payment account.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein at least a portion of the token is compliant with at least a portion of the ISO/IEC 7816 standard as promulgated by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

creating, based on the biometric data, the first user account;

receiving the first payment account;

determining that the first payment account does not support tokenization; and

assigning the second payment account to the first user account responsive to the determining that the first payment account does not support tokenization.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

determining a first payment network associated with the first payment account; and

wherein the second payment account is associated with the first payment network.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

determining first data that is based on correspondence of one or more attributes of the first payment account with permitted payment account criteria; and

wherein the assigning the second payment account is based on the first data.

9. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

determining a first set of unassigned payment accounts, wherein each of the unassigned payment accounts is valid; and

assigning, from the first set of unassigned payment accounts, the second payment account to the first user account.

10. The method of claim 4 , wherein the second payment account is associated with only the first user account.

11. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

determining account limit data that is associated with the first user account;

determining first data based on one or more attributes of the first transaction data being less than or equal to the account limit data; and

wherein the generating the token is based on the first data.

12. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

determining fourth transaction data based on the first payment account;

sending the fourth transaction data;

receiving, responsive to the fourth transaction data, first data indicative of an approval of the first payment account; and

wherein one or more of the generating the token or the sending the token is based on the first data.

13. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first transaction data is indicative of one or more of:

a purchase of a good or service, or

a return of a good or service.

14. A system comprising:

one or more memories storing computer-executable instructions; and

one or more hardware processors to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

receive, from a first device, biometric data and first transaction data indicative of a first transaction amount;

determine a first user account that is associated with the biometric data;

determine a first payment account, associated with the first user account that does not support a first payment mode, wherein the first payment account is associated with a first entity;

determine a second payment account, wherein the second payment account has been assigned to the first user account responsive to the first payment account not supporting the first payment mode, wherein the second payment account supports the first payment mode, and wherein the second payment account is associated with a second entity;

create, based on the second payment account, first data that is representative of the second payment account;

send the first data;

receive second transaction data indicative of a second transaction amount that is based on the first data;

determine the first transaction amount is equal to the second transaction amount;

determine, based on the first payment account, third transaction data indicative of the first transaction amount; and

initiate a transaction, based on the third transaction data, to settle the first transaction amount from the first payment account.

15. The system of claim 14 , the one or more hardware processors to further execute the computer-executable instructions to:

determine the biometric data, wherein the biometric data is associated with the first transaction data.

16. The system of claim 14 , wherein the first data comprises one or more of:

a payment token,

an application primary account number,

a cardholder name that is associated with the second entity,

an application expiration date, or

an application primary account number sequence number.

17. The system of claim 14 , wherein at least a portion of the first data is compliant with at least a portion of the ISO/IEC 14443 standard as promulgated by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

18. The system of claim 14 , the one or more hardware processors to further execute the computer-executable instructions to:

create, based on the biometric data, the first user account;

receive data indicative of the first payment account;

determine the first payment account does not support the first payment mode; and

assign the second payment account to the first user account, responsive to the first payment account not supporting the first payment mode.

19. The system of claim 14 , the one or more hardware processors to further execute the computer-executable instructions to:

determine account limit data that is associated with the first user account; and

responsive to second data based on one or more attributes of the first transaction data being less than or equal to the account limit data, determine the first data.

20. The system of claim 14 , the one or more hardware processors to further execute the computer-executable instructions to:

determine fourth transaction data based on the first payment account;

send the fourth transaction data;
