20140180924 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COST ALTERING PAYMENT SERVICES - Cost altering payment services (“CAPS”) system in association with a distributed enhanced payment (“DEP”) processing system includes a merchant point of sale (“POS”) terminal system and a remote enhanced payment management system (“EPMS”). The remote EPMS receives payment transactions including additional risk mitigating payment transaction (“RMPT”) information and based on that additional RMPT information provides altered transaction costs. The remote EPMS provides facilities for the merchant to review and revise payment management services so as to utilize additional RMPT information received from the merchant POS terminal system so as to alter transaction costs. Such facilities provide information to determine the relative potential transaction cost benefits of various payment management service sets utilizing cost profiles that represent the costs of archival, recorded and projected future transactions. The remote EPMS provides “transaction guidance” technology to be utilized by the merchant's POS terminal system to facilitate prompting for and acquiring additional RMPT information. | 06-26-2014 |
20140114860 | Systems and Methods for Expedited Automated Merchant Boarding - An expedited automated merchant boarding system in association with a distributed enhanced payment processing system includes a merchant point of sale (POS) terminal system and a remote enhanced payment management system (EPMS). The remote EPMS pre-boards anticipated POS terminal system components and records pre-boarding results information. The POS terminal system initiates merchant boarding by transmitting merchant account information. The remote EPMS receives merchant account information and establishes a merchant account. The POS terminal system utilizes protocol transactions including auto-boarding information to initiate auto-boarding with the remote EPMS. The remote EPMS auto-boards the POS terminal system utilizing received auto-boarding information and recorded pre-boarding results. The remote EPMS turns up selected payment management services for the merchant POS terminal system. The POS terminal system utilizes payment transactions to conduct validation of successful interoperation with the remote EPMS. The remote EPMS enables utilization of selected payment management services by the POS terminal system. | 04-24-2014 |
20140108261 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PAYMENT MANAGEMENT FOR SUPPORTING MOBILE PAYMENTS - Systems and methods for managing mobile payments is provided. An account issuer provides an application that is loaded onto a mobile device, which enables a consumer to pay for transactions. The mobile payment application generates a unique code. The code is read by the point of sale terminal, which is then provided to the payment management system. The payment management system contracts the account issuer and authenticates the code, thereby receiving a primary account number. Account number and transaction information is used to authorize the transaction via payment systems. The payment system accepts or declines the transaction in a response. Tokens may be generated for the account number, and value added services may be generated based upon user behaviors. | 04-17-2014 |
20140040148 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ARBITRAGED ENHANCED PAYMENT PROCESSING - An arbitraged enhanced payment processing system in association with a distributed enhanced payment processing system includes a merchant point of sale (POS) terminal system and a remote payment management system. The POS terminal system initiates a transaction that includes receiving a payment amount, a purchaser account identifier, a virtual electronic payment indicator, and a merchant ID via a payment client. Subsequently, the POS terminal system outputs the transaction to the remote payment management system which generates a token for the transaction. The payment management system then provides the purchaser account identifier, a merchant account identifier, and the payment amount to a payment processing servicer. Upon receiving a payment processing servicer response, the payment management system outputs the response and token to the POS terminal system. | 02-06-2014 |
