The financial card provided by the present disclosure further includes a cardholder verifying module and/or a boot-up verifying module The solution provided by the present disclosure improves security of the identity verification in an e-transaction and makes the e-transaction to be more convenient by using the fingerprint to execute identity verification.

A method for authenticating e-commerce transactions involves receiving, from a payment network computer, a first authentication request message to authenticate a transaction associated with a payment account, the first authentication request message being initiated by an issuer domain computer not implementing a 3-D Secure authorization protocol, determining that the issuer domain computer has configured, at the access control server computer, a decision function of a second portion of the 3-D Secure authorization protocol and in response thereto, transmitting, to the issuer domain computer, a decision request message and information associated with the transaction, the decision request message requesting the issuer domain computer to determine an action for authenticating the transaction based on the information associated with the transaction and one or more programmatic rules of the issuer domain computer, the transmitting occurring in lieu of the access control server computer executing the decision function at the access control server computer.

In accordance with a first aspect of the present disclosure, a method is conceived for providing a digital representation of a transaction card in a mobile device, comprising: detecting, by a near field communication unit of said mobile device, that the transaction card is in proximity of the mobile device; upon or after said detecting, performing, by a processing unit of said mobile device, the following steps: retrieving the digital representation of the transaction card from a digitization server; loading the digital representation of the transaction card into a memory of the mobile device; activating the digital representation of the transaction card for a predefined validity period; invalidating the digital representation of the transaction card if no successful near field communication transaction has been performed within said validity period. In accordance with other aspects of the present disclosure, a corresponding computer program and a corresponding mobile device are provided.

A method for linking payment accounts includes: storing a plurality of account profiles, each profile including data related to a payment account including an account number and account data; encrypting the account number included in each account profile using a method of encryption to obtain an encrypted account number; receiving account linkage data, the data including a plurality of encrypted account identifiers, each identifier being indicated as being linked to another identifier, and each identifier being encrypted using the method of encryption; matching each of the encrypted account identifiers to an encrypted account number; and updating one or more account profiles to indicate a link to another account profile where the encrypted account number included in the profile being updated matches an encrypted account identifier that is indicated as being linked to an encrypted account identifier that matches the encrypted account number included in the other profile.

A device receives a transaction request concerning a transaction and a transaction card from a transaction terminal, and determines, based on the transaction request, information concerning the transaction card. The device sends, based on the transaction request and to a user device, a query concerning possession of the transaction card by a user of the user device, where the query includes an instruction for the user to confirm possession of the transaction card via a component of the user device. The device receives, from the user device and after sending the query to the user device, a response concerning possession of the transaction card by the user, and determines, based on the response and the information concerning the transaction card, whether the user has possession of the transaction card. The device performs, based on determining whether the user has possession of the transaction card, at least one action.

Systems and methods involving a temporary card as well as features and functionality of an associated server and/or application resident on a computing device are disclosed. In one embodiment, an exemplary system may comprise a temporary card provided to a user to conduct purchase transactions for a period of temporary use as well as a server configured to manage operation of the temporary card and execute instructions causing the server to: communicate with an app resident on a computing device associated with the user, instruct the app to generate one or more graphical user interfaces (GUIs) configured to display first interactive GUI elements with first user-selection(s) and second interactive GUI elements with second user-selection(s), and/or control the temporary card based on the first and second user-selections.

The present invention relates to a virtual token-based settlement providing system, a virtual token generation apparatus, a virtual token verification server, a virtual token-based settlement providing method, and a virtual token-based settlement providing program. The present invention comprises: a step for receiving a virtual token provided by a virtual token generation means, by a virtual token verification means; a step for extracting multiple detailed codes included in the virtual token by the virtual token verification means; a step for searching for a storage location of an actual card number on the basis of the multiple detailed codes by the virtual token verification means; and a step for transmitting the searched actual card number to a payment settlement service server or a financial company server.

Various embodiments are directed to applying, via contactless card authentication, one or more restrictions to a virtual card number and generating the card number for use by a recipient. The one or more restrictions may be specifically personalized to the recipient and may include, for example, a merchant restriction, an amount restriction, a time period restriction, or a location restriction. The generated virtual card number along with the applied one or more restrictions may be consumed in various ways, such as writing the number to a blank card, transmitting the number directly to the recipient's computing device, etc., all via near-field communication.

A method of authenticating a smart card with a mobile device is disclosed. The method includes receiving and underwriting a new payment card application at a card issuer computing system. Upon completing the underwriting process and approving the new payment card application, the card issuer computing system issues an enabling token to the mobile device, which allows the mobile device to complete transactions based on a new payment card.
