Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for facilitating fund transfers between accounts. One example method includes capturing a computer-readable indicia representative of a destination account identifier specific to a destination account of a first party and a name of the first party, and in response to the captured indicia, displaying the name of the first party, at a mobile device of the user, as a confirmation that the first party is associated with the destination account. The method also includes identifying a payment amount for a fund transfer from a source account issued by a financial institution to the destination account, based on a user input at the mobile device, and compiling and transmitting a transfer request for the fund transfer to a payment network, where the transfer request includes the destination account identifier, a source account identifier for the source account, and the identified payment amount.

Claims (40)

1. A computer-implemented method for facilitating identification of a destination account participating in a fund transfer from a source account associated with a user, the method comprising:

capturing, by a mobile communication device, via an application in the mobile communication device, a computer-readable indicia representative of: a destination account identifier specific to a destination account of a first party and a name of the first party associated with the destination account, the computer-readable indicia including a quick response (QR) code disposed on an object associated with the first party;

in response to the captured computer-readable indicia, displaying, by the mobile communication device, via the application, the name of the first party from the captured computer-readable indicia, as a confirmation that the first party is associated with the destination account;

identifying, by the mobile communication device, via the application, a payment amount for a fund transfer from a source account issued by a financial institution to the destination account, based on at least one user input at the mobile communication device; and

compiling, by the mobile communication device, and transmitting a transfer request for the fund transfer, via a first application programming interface (API) call, to a payment network, whereby the payment network initiates a second API call to said financial institution for the fund transfer to initiate the fund transfer for the payment amount from the source account to the destination account based on the transfer request, the transfer request including the destination account identifier, a source account identifier associated with the source account, and the identified payment amount for the fund transfer.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

soliciting, by the mobile communication device, a selection of the source account from multiple potential source accounts for the fund transfer; and

identifying, by the mobile communication device, via the application, the source account identifier associated with the source account based on the selection of the source account.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying, by the mobile communication device, via the application, the source account identifier associated with the source account based on the source account being a default account.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the destination account identifier includes one of: i) a primary account number (PAN) of the destination account or ii) a token associated with the destination account.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the computer-readable indicia is further representative of an invoice identifier; and

wherein the transfer request further includes the invoice identifier.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising, in response to the captured computer-readable indicia, displaying, by the mobile communication device, via the application, the payment amount and the source account to the user, prior to transmitting the transfer request.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the destination account identifier is a deposit-only identifier for the destination account; and/or

wherein the transfer request includes a flag indicating that only deposits are permitted to the destination account.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the mobile communication device, from the user, a payment memo; and

wherein the transfer request further includes the payment memo.

9. A computer-implemented method for facilitating identification of a destination account participating in a fund transfer from a source account associated with a user, the method comprising:

capturing, by a mobile communication device, a computer-readable indicia representative of: a destination account identifier specific to a destination account of a first party and a name of the first party associated with the destination account, the computer-readable indicia disposed on an object associated with the first party;

in response to the captured computer-readable indicia, displaying, by the mobile communication device, the name of the first party, from the captured computer-readable indicia, as a confirmation that the first party is associated with the destination account;

identifying, by the mobile communication device, a payment amount for a fund transfer from a source account issued by a financial institution to the destination account, based on at least one user input at the mobile communication device; and

compiling, by the mobile communication device, and transmitting a transfer request for the fund transfer to the financial institution of the source account, the transfer request including the destination account identifier, a source account identifier associated with the source account, and the identified payment amount for the fund transfer.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , further comprising:

soliciting, by the mobile communication device, a selection of the source account from multiple potential source accounts for the fund transfer; and

identifying, by the mobile communication device, the source account identifier associated with the source account based on the selection of the source account.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , further comprising identifying, by the mobile communication device, the source account identifier associated with the source account based on the source account being a default account.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the destination account identifier includes one of: i) a primary account number (PAN) of the destination account or ii) a token associated with the destination account.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , further comprising, in response to the captured computer-readable indicia, displaying, by the mobile communication device, the payment amount and the source account to the user, prior to transmitting the transfer request.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , further comprising receiving, by the computing device, from the user, a payment memo; and

wherein the transfer request further includes the payment memo.

15. A computer-implemented method for facilitating identification of a destination account participating in a fund transfer from a source account associated with a user, the method comprising:

capturing, by a computing device, a computer-readable indicia representative of: a destination account identifier specific to a destination account of a first party, a name of the first party associated with the destination account, a location identifier associated with the first party, and an amount to be paid to the destination account for a product associated with the first party, wherein the computer-readable indicia includes a quick response (QR) code;

in response to the captured computer-readable indicia, displaying, by the computing device, the name of the first party, the destination account identifier, and the amount to be paid to the destination account, from the captured computer-readable indicia, as a confirmation that the first party is associated with the destination account and a confirmation of the amount to be paid;

receiving, by the computing device, from a user, an input to initiate a fund transfer for an amount from a source account of the user to the destination account; and

in response to the input, compiling, by the computing device, and transmitting a transfer request for the fund transfer, the transfer request including the destination account identifier, the location identifier associated with the first party, a source account identifier associated with the source account, and the amount to be paid for the fund transfer, whereby the fund transfer for the amount is initiated from the source account to the destination account based on the transfer request and the product is delivered to the user based on the location identifier.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 15 , wherein the location identifier associated with the first party includes a postal address.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 15 , wherein the location identifier associated with the first party includes a restaurant table number.

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 15 , wherein the location identifier associated with the first party includes a seating location.

19. The computer-implemented method of claim 15 , wherein the fund request is a purchase request for the product for delivery of the product at a location defined by the location identifier of the first party;

wherein the method further comprises receiving delivery of the product, from the first party, at the location defined by the location identifier of the first party.
