10. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions, that upon execution by at least one hardware processor, cause performance of operations, comprising:

receiving, at a merchant application and during a current transaction being conducted by a particular user at the merchant application via a client application, a request to perform a credit application process associated with the particular user, wherein the particular user is associated with a user profile that is associated with a merchant-specific identifier identifying the user profile of the particular user at a merchant;

in response to receiving the request, generating a first redirection instruction comprising the merchant-specific identifier of the particular user and the request to perform the credit application process;

redirecting, based on the first redirection instruction, the client application to a credit application site associated with a particular institution that performs the credit application process;

receiving (1) a second redirection instruction from the credit application site, wherein the second redirection instruction instructs re-launch of the merchant application via the client application, and (2) a second signal including an approval associated with the credit application process, a payment credential associated with a new credit account created at the particular institution in response to the approval of the credit application process, and the merchant-specific identifier of the particular user; and

processing, at the merchant application, the current transaction using the received payment credential as a form of payment for the current transaction.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein execution of the instructions by the at least one hardware processor causes performance of operations, further comprising:

associating, by the merchant application and using the merchant-specific identifier, the received payment credential to the user profile associated with the particular user corresponding to the received merchant-specific identifier.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein associating the received payment credential to the user profile associated with the particular user, comprises:

storing the received payment credential in a proprietary wallet associated with the merchant and the user profile associated with the particular user corresponding to the received merchant-specific identifier.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , where the current transaction is processed after the received payment credential is associated to the user profile.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein processing the current transaction comprises:

selecting the received payment credential from a proprietary wallet without any manual entry of identifying information of the received payment credential.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the first redirection instruction comprises a hyperlink addressed to the credit application site, wherein the merchant-specific identifier and the request to perform the credit application process are included or embedded as parameters in the hyperlink to the credit application site, and wherein redirecting the client application to the credit application site based on the first redirection instruction includes navigating to the hyperlink.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the received payment credential comprises a personal account number and an expiration date of a payment card associated with the new credit account, or a payment token associated with the new credit account.

17. A computerized method performed by one or more processors, the method comprising:

receiving, at a merchant application and during a current transaction being conducted by a particular user at the merchant application via a client application, a request to perform a credit application process associated with the particular user, wherein:

the merchant application is associated with a non-transitory memory storing a repository storing a set of user accounts associated with a plurality of users,
