Abstract

A method includes receiving, by a provider computing system from an initiating device, an encrypted network return address of an user device that identifies a network address of the user device; receiving, by the provider computing system and from the user device, an encryption key configured to decrypt the encrypted network return address; decrypting, by the provider computing system, the encrypted network return address using the encryption key; and providing, by the provider computing system, a code to the user device based on the decrypted network return address by transmitting the code to the user device without going through the initiating device.

Description

BACKGROUND

Many financial institution customers are able to complete various financial transactions through their mobile computing devices. The customers may set up their mobile devices to organize and selectively exchange payment information with transaction terminals, and with each other, in the absence of physical payment cards. Payment information may be managed by various software programs, including “mobile wallets” offered by mobile device manufacturers, financial institutions or other third party software developers. To exchange payment information, many mobile wallets utilize payment tokens, which are surrogate values that replace a user's (e.g., cardholder's) primary account number (“PAN”) associated with a payment card, such as a credit card, debit card, stored value card, etc.

SUMMARY

One embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a method for provisioning a payment account to a mobile wallet includes receiving a request to provision a payment token configured to facilitate a mobile wallet transaction. The method includes receiving a payment account configured for provision to a mobile wallet, generating the payment token responsive to the request to provision the payment token, associating the payment token with the payment account, receiving account information for a payment account, receiving address information from a mobile device associated with the mobile wallet, the address information uniquely identifying the mobile wallet, and provisioning the payment token associated with the payment account to the mobile wallet responsive to receiving the address information and the account information.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Various embodiments discussed herein relate to systems and methods for provisioning payment accounts to a mobile wallet implemented on a mobile device. In some embodiments, provisioning is initiated from a physical channel (i.e., an initiating device) that is separate and distinct from the mobile device associated with the mobile wallet. For example, a user may initiate provisioning of a payment account to the mobile wallet from an automated teller machine (ATM), a customer interface located at a branch location of a financial institution, or a user personal computing device (e.g., desktop computer, laptop, etc.) other than the associated mobile device. For example, a user may sign up for a credit card account at a branch location of the financial institution. After the credit card has been approved, the banker may ask the user if the user would like for the new credit card to be provisioned to the user's mobile wallet. Upon agreement from the user, the banker may initiate provisioning from a banker computer used by the banker, such that the user does not need to open the mobile wallet application and initiate the provisioning from within the mobile wallet. As another example, the user may be prompted at the ATM whether the user would like for a credit card to be provisioned to the user's mobile wallet. Because the provisioning is initiated from the banker computer or from the ATM, the user does not need to re-enter credit card information from within the mobile wallet application. Hence, the provisioning process requires fewer steps to be performed by the user on the user's mobile device.

As an example, the mobile wallet user may initiate (e.g., via an NFC tap) a communication event between the initiating device (e.g., the banker computer, the ATM, etc.) and the user's mobile device. As part of the communication event, the user's device transmits a return address for the provisioned account. The return address is the address of the user's mobile device and provides the token service provider with address information useable to return a token for the provisioned account back to the user's mobile device. A provisioning request is sent to the token service provider that includes the return address as well as an identification of the source payment account to be provisioned. The source account may be selected via the initiating device (e.g., the banker using the bank computer) or via the mobile device (e.g., the user using an online banking application). The token service provider provisions a payment token for the selected payment account, then sends the token to the mobile wallet at the return address of the user mobile device.

Referring to FIG. 1, a block diagram of a computer-implemented mobile payment provisioning system 100 is shown, according to an example embodiment. The mobile payment provisioning system 100 is used to provision a token for a payment account (e.g., credit card account, checking account, etc.) to a mobile wallet. The mobile payment provisioning system 100 may include, among other devices and systems, an initiating device 102, a user mobile device 104, a mobile wallet provider computing system 106, a source account financial institution (FI) computing system 108, and a token service provider computing system 110. The various systems and devices may communicate through a network 112, which may include one or more of the Internet, cellular network, Wi-Fi, Wi-Max, a proprietary banking network, or any other type of wired or wireless network.

The initiating device 102 is a device that enables a user of the mobile wallet to initiate provisioning of a source payment account to the mobile wallet. The initiating device 102 may be any device that is able to perform the functions ascribed to the device 102 herein, but in various embodiments is separate and distinct from the user mobile device 104 (i.e., the mobile device associated with the user's mobile wallet). In some embodiments, the initiating device 102 is operated by the source account FI computing system 108 (e.g., the provider of the source payment account), enabling the user to communicate with the source account FI computing system 108 using the initiating device 102. For example, the initiating device 102 may include an automated teller machine (ATM) operated by the source financial institution, or a user interface located at a branch location of the source financial institution. As another example, the initiating device 102 may be a banker computing device used by a banker in a branch location. As another example, the initiating device 102 may include a desktop/laptop computing device having a web browser configured to communicate with the source account FI computing system 108. For example, the user may initiate provisioning of the token to the mobile device 104 while using a different computer, e.g., a laptop computer, during an online banking session at an online banking website provided by the source account FI computing system 108.

The initiating device 102 includes a data exchange circuit 114, an initiating device input/output (I/O) 116, and an initiating device network interface circuit 118. The initiating device network interface circuit 118 enables the initiating device 102 and the various components therein to exchange data over the network 112 (e.g., with the user mobile device 104, the source account FI computing system 108, the mobile wallet provider computing system 106, the token service provider computing system 110, etc.).

The data exchange circuit 114 is configured to exchange data among the initiating device I/O 116 and the entities of the system 100 to perform the operations attributed to the initiating device 102 herein. In an example embodiment, the data exchange circuit 114 facilitates the exchange of data required to initiate provisioning of a payment account to a user's mobile wallet (e.g., to the mobile device 104). For example, the data exchange circuit 114 may be configured to receive information from the mobile wallet user (e.g., authentication information, information relating to the user's payment account, mobile wallet provider, etc.) via the initiating device I/O 116. The data exchange circuit 114 is also configured to receive information (e.g., mobile wallet address information) from the user mobile device 104. The data exchange circuit 114 may then send the information to the source account FI computing system 108 over the network 112 (e.g., via the network interface circuit 118) in order to initiate provisioning of the payment account to the mobile wallet.

The initiating device I/O 116 includes one or more devices and associated logics configured to allow a user to exchange information and interact with the data exchange circuit 114. For example, an input aspect of the initiating device I/O 116 can include a keyboard, a touchscreen, a payment card magstripe reader, a payment card chip reader, a microphone, a camera, a fingerprint scanner, any user input device engageable to the initiating device 102 via a USB, serial cable, and so on. In turn, an output aspect of the initiating device I/O 116 can include a digital display, a speaker, illuminating icons, LEDs, a paper (e.g., receipts) dispenser, and so on. In addition, in some embodiments the input aspect and the output aspect of the initiating device I/O 116 include a contactless data transmission service. In these embodiments, the contactless transmission device may include hardware and associated software sufficient to enable the initiating device 102 to wirelessly and securely exchange data over short distances. For instance, the contactless transmission device may be used to wirelessly receive an identifier (e.g., device identifier, user identifier, wallet identifier, etc.) from the user mobile device 104. In some arrangements, the contactless device is configured to use RFID to exchange digital information. In some such arrangements, the contactless device enables the initiating device 102 to exchange data over a radio frequency range required for NFC. As such, the initiating device I/O 116 can wirelessly send and receive data at a local level (i.e., where the user mobile device 104 is physically present at the initiating device 102).

The user mobile device 104 is a mobile device held by the mobile wallet user and associated with the user's mobile wallet account. The user's mobile wallet account is implemented on the user mobile device 104, enabling the user to access a provisioned payment account via the mobile device 104 to provide payments to merchants or other users. The user mobile device 104 may include one or more of a smartphone or other cellular device, a wearable computing device (e.g., eyewear, a watch, etc.), a tablet, and so on. The mobile device 104 may also include any other portable device upon which a mobile wallet may be implemented.

The user mobile device 104 includes a mobile wallet transaction circuit 120, a source account financial institution (FI) client application 122, a mobile device input/output (I/O) 124, and a mobile device network interface circuit 126. The mobile device network interface circuit 126 is similar to the network interface circuit 118, enabling the mobile device 104 to exchange data with remote computing devices over the network 112, including with other entities of the system 100. As an example, the network interface circuit 126 allows the mobile device 104 to exchange data with the mobile wallet provider computing system 106, including as part of a mobile wallet payment.

The mobile device I/O 124 includes hardware and associated logics that enable the mobile wallet user and the initiating device 102 to exchange information with the user mobile device 104. An input aspect of the mobile device I/O 124 allows the user to provide information to the mobile device 104, and can include, for example, a keyboard, a touchscreen, a microphone, a camera, a fingerprint scanner, any user input device engageable to the mobile device 104 via USB, and so on. In turn, an output aspect of the mobile device I/O 124 allows the user to receive information from the mobile device 104, and can include, for example, a digital display, a speaker, illuminating icons, LEDs, and so on. In an example embodiment, the mobile device I/O 124 also includes a contactless data transmission device that operates in a manner similar to and compatible with the initiating device I/O 116. For example, the mobile device I/O 124 may be configured to communicate with the initiating device 102 to remotely send mobile wallet address information.

The mobile wallet transaction circuit 120 facilitates operation of a mobile wallet, which the mobile wallet user (e.g., a business owner or employee, a consumer, etc.) may utilize to conduct payment transactions. The mobile wallet transaction circuit 120 may be used by the user to implement and interact with the user's mobile wallet account. In some embodiments, the mobile wallet transaction circuit 120 includes software, such as a mobile application, configured to communicate with the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 via the network 112. Such software may be issued by or on behalf of the mobile wallet provider computing system 106, which may be operated by the source account financial institution or a third party wallet provider (e.g., Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, etc.). In an example embodiment, the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 provides the software application for download (e.g., via a website associated with the mobile wallet provider computing system 106, via an app store, etc.). Responsive to a user selection of an appropriate link or other action, the mobile wallet application is transmitted to the mobile device 104 and may cause itself to be installed on the mobile device 104. Installation of the software application creates the mobile wallet transaction circuit 120 on the mobile device 104. Specifically, after installation, the thus-modified mobile device 104 includes the mobile wallet transaction circuit 120 (embodied as a processor and instructions stored in non-transitory memory that are executed by the processor). As will be appreciated, the level of functionality that resides on the mobile device 104 as opposed to the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 may vary depending on the implementation.

The mobile wallet transaction circuit 120 may also be configured to communicate with the initiating device 102, as well as devices of merchants and other users, either directly or over the network 112. For instance, the mobile wallet transaction circuit 120 may communicate wirelessly with the initiating device 102 (or another device) through the network interface circuit 126 via a wireless communication protocol, such as to communicate information required to provision a payment account. The mobile wallet transaction circuit 120 may also communicate information by presenting a barcode (e.g., a two-dimensional or three-dimensional barcode) on the mobile device I/O 124 (e.g., display) that may be scanned by a scanner of a receiving device (e.g., the initiating device 102, a merchant POS device, another user device, etc.). For instance, the user mobile device 104 may provide mobile wallet address information to the initiating device 102 using such a barcode.

While setting up a mobile wallet account, the mobile wallet transaction circuit 120 may receive, organize, and store payment tokens associated with the user's payment account(s). The payment tokens may be received from the mobile wallet provider computing system 106, the token service provider computing system 110, or another entity of system 100. In some embodiments, the payment tokens are generated by the token service provider computing system 110 in response to a request received from the user via the initiating device 102. The mobile wallet transaction circuit 120 is configured to transmit certain payment tokens to merchants and other users (e.g., via the mobile device I/O 124) as part of any of a variety of transaction requests to complete various financial operations. In various embodiments, the mobile wallet transaction circuit 120 may also receive and display screens on the mobile device I/O 124 including account information, transaction instructions, and so on. In one embodiment, a screen may be used to request authentication credentials from the user, provide payment and transaction information, and so on.

In some embodiments, the mobile wallet transaction circuit 120 includes a memory device that is unique to the user mobile device 104, such as a secure element. The secure element may be a tamper-resistant circuit (e.g., a one chip secure microcontroller) capable of securely hosting applications and confidential and cryptographic data (e.g., key management) associated therewith. The unique memory device may be used to store and organize the payment tokens associated with the mobile wallet. The mobile wallet transaction circuit 120 may also be used to store identifiers for the user mobile device 104, the user's mobile wallet, and/or the user. In some embodiments, the mobile wallet transaction circuit 120 is configured to extract, encrypt, and communicate these unique identifiers as address information for the user's mobile wallet account. For instance, the address information may be communicated to the initiating device 102 and/or the source account FI computing system 108 as part of a provisioning request. The address information is then forwarded to the token service provider as a return address for the provisioned payment token(s).

The source account FI client application 122 facilitates communication with the source account financial institution (e.g., the source account FI computing system 108). In an example embodiment, the source account FI client application 122 includes a mobile banking application that enables the mobile wallet user to manage payment accounts held by the user and provided by the source account FI computing system 108. In this embodiment, the client application 122 may provide displays indicative of current payment account balances, authentication requirements, profile information, account limits, and the like. In some embodiments, the client application 122 enables the mobile wallet user to initiate provisioning of one or more of the payment accounts to a mobile wallet provided by a third party. For instance, the client application 122 may enable the user to select a source payment account for the mobile wallet, and to provide any other information required to initiate provisioning. The client application 122 may also send return address information from the mobile device 104 to the source account FI computing system 108.

In an example embodiment, the source account FI computing system 108 provides the mobile banking application for download (e.g., via a website associated with the source account FI computing system 108, via an app store, etc.). Responsive to a user selection of an appropriate link or other action, the mobile banking application is transmitted to the mobile device 104 and may cause itself to be installed on the mobile device 104. As will be appreciated, the level of functionality that resides on the mobile device 104 as opposed to the source account FI computing system 108 may vary depending on the implementation.

The mobile wallet provider computing system 106 is operated by a mobile wallet provider that maintains and handles transaction processing for a mobile wallet account held by the user. In some embodiments, the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 is operated by the source account FI computing system 108 (e.g., the source financial institution), with the user's source payment account and the mobile wallet account both being provided by the mobile wallet provider (i.e., the source financial institution). In other embodiments, the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 is operated by a third party wallet provider (e.g., Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, etc.) that manages the mobile wallet account on behalf of the user, with the mobile wallet account being funded by a source payment account provided by a separate financial institution (i.e., the source account FI computing system 108). In these embodiments, the mobile wallet provider is separate and distinct from the source financial institution.

The mobile wallet provider computing system 106 includes a mobile wallet provider network interface circuit 128, a mobile wallet circuit 130, and a mobile wallet database 132. The mobile wallet provider network interface circuit 128 enables the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 to exchange data with remote computing devices over the network 112, including with other entities of the system 100. The mobile wallet circuit 130 enables or otherwise supplements the functionality of the mobile wallet on the mobile device 104. In some embodiments, the mobile wallet transaction circuit 120, including any associated user interfaces, displays, and associated content, is provided and/or operated by the mobile wallet circuit 130. For instance, the mobile wallet transaction circuit 120 may be downloaded to the mobile device 104 based on content provided by the mobile wallet circuit 130. The mobile wallet database 132 stores information regarding mobile wallet accounts held by various users, including for a mobile wallet account held by the user of the mobile device 104. The stored mobile wallet account information may include authentication information (e.g., username/password combinations, device authentication tokens, security question answers, etc.), payment card information, transaction history, account holder identifying information, and any other information that may be encountered in the operation of a mobile wallet account or otherwise referenced herein.

The source account financial institution (FI) computing system 108 is operated by a financial institution that provides one or more payment accounts (e.g., demand deposit account, credit card account, etc.) to the user, including a source payment account for the user's mobile wallet. In an example embodiment, the source account FI computing system 108 operates the initiating device 102, such that the initiating device 102 facilitates communication between the mobile wallet user and the source account FI computing system 108. In these embodiments, the source account FI computing system 108 utilizes information received by the initiating device 102 to initiate provisioning of a payment account to the user's mobile wallet (e.g., to the mobile device 104). The source account FI computing system 108 is configured to receive the information via the initiating device 102, then route the information as a provisioning request to a token service provider.

The source account FI computing system 108 includes an account management circuit 134, an accounts database 136, and an FI network interface circuit 138. The account management circuit 134 is structured to manage financial accounts (e.g., demand deposit accounts, credit or debit card accounts, brokerage accounts, etc.) of various users. Information regarding the users' financial accounts is stored in the accounts database 136. For example, financial account information may include user authentication information (e.g., username/password combinations, device authentication tokens, security question answers, etc.), account balances, transaction history, etc. The account information may also include any other information that is required to provision a payment token based on a payment account, including account numbers, expiration dates for payment cards, etc. Similar to the other network interface circuits described herein, the FI network interface circuit 138 enables the source account FI computing system 108 to exchange data with remote computing devices over the network 112, including with other entities of the mobile payment provisioning system 100.

The token service provider (TSP) computing system 110 is operated by a token service provider, which may include a credit card network or other type of payment system, an acquiring or issuing financial institution (e.g., source account FI computing system 108), a mobile wallet provider (e.g., mobile wallet provider computing system 106), or another token service provider. The TSP computing system 110 is configured to provision payment credentials (e.g., payment tokens) on behalf of the mobile wallet user in response to a provisioning request initiated using the initiating device 102 (or by another channel described herein).

The TSP computing system 110 includes a token service provider network interface circuit 140, a token provisioning circuit 142, and a token database 144. The TSP network interface circuit 140 enables the token service provider computing system 110 to exchange data with remote computing devices over the network 112, including with other entities of the mobile payment provisioning system 100. The token database 144 is a storage medium retrievably storing token information (e.g., a token vault), and may include non-transient data storage mediums (e.g., local disc or flash-based hard drives, local network servers, and the like) or remote data storage facilities (e.g., cloud servers).

The token provisioning circuit 142 may be used to facilitate various services associated with tokens, including provisioning (e.g., generating) new tokens, authorizing a token for use in a financial transaction, storing payment account tokens (e.g., in the token database 144), and managing the life cycles of the payment account tokens. The token provisioning circuit 142 is configured to exchange information with the token database 144, and with remote systems over the network 112 via the network interface circuit 140.

The token provisioning circuit 142 is structured to provision a payment token, which may include generating the payment token itself and linking the payment token to a payment account. The payment token is intended to replace sensitive information related to the payment account, such as an account number (e.g., a sixteen-digit account number for a payment card associated with the account) or other original account information. Once generated, a given payment token may be used to execute a transaction rather than exchanging the sensitive account information. For instance, a customer may request provisioning of a payment token from the token provisioning circuit 142 over the network 112 (e.g., using the initiating device 102) in order to conduct a mobile wallet transaction using a selected payment account.

In an example embodiment, the initiating device 102 (e.g., a banker computer, an ATM, a laptop computer associated with the user, etc.) initiates provisioning of a payment token for the source account (e.g., to the mobile device 104, to the user's mobile wallet account). In this embodiment, the source account has an assigned PAN specifically identifying the source account (e.g., a sixteen-digit account number for a payment card associated with the account). Upon initiation, the source account FI computing system 108 routes a request to the TSP computing system 110 (e.g., directly, via the mobile wallet provider, etc.) to provision a payment token for a selected source payment account. The request may include the PAN identifying the source account. Upon receipt of the request, the TSP computing system 110 (i.e., the token provisioning circuit 142) generates a payment token based on the source account (e.g., a device primary account number, or DPAN), assigning the payment token to the corresponding PAN. The provisioned payment token enables the user to access funds from the source account using the mobile device 104. In some embodiments, the payment token (e.g., the DPAN) is stored directly on the mobile device 104 (e.g., the mobile wallet transaction circuit 120, a secure element), identifying the corresponding source account and enabling the mobile device 104 to transact using the source account. In some embodiments, the payment token is stored at the mobile wallet provider computing system 106. The PAN, the payment token, and information relating to their respective associations may be stored in the token database 144, and in some arrangements, the mobile wallet database 132.

The payment token generated by the token provisioning circuit 142 may be any type of digital token or code suitable for use as a payment credential, such as a numerical code, an alphanumeric code, a collection of abstract characters, and so on. In some arrangements, the token is a unique digital tag associated with sensitive information that can be interpreted by an authorized computing system (e.g., the token provisioning circuit 142 can identify a given token, and retrieve the token's corresponding information from the token database 144). In some embodiments, the payment token is a tokenized sixteen digit number. For instance, where the source payment account is a credit or debit card account, the tokenized sixteen digit number may be used as a payment credential in place of the original sixteen digit number of the credit or debit card. In this embodiment, the payment card token may have a unique BIN (e.g., the first four digits of the original card number), but retains the same last four digits as the original card number in order to accurately match the payment card token to the account holder (i.e., the payment card owner). The remaining numbers may be generated by the token provisioning circuit 142 using various tokenization or encryption algorithms. In some arrangements, the token is an encrypted copy of sensitive information itself (e.g., an encrypted charge account number).

The mobile wallet provider computing system 106, the source account FI computing system 108, and the token service provider computing system 110 may each include a computing system (e.g., one or more servers each with one or more processing circuits), each including a processor and memory. The processors may be implemented as application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), one or more field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), a group of processing components, or other suitable electronic processing components. The memory may be one or more devices (e.g., RAM, ROM, Flash memory, hard disk storage, etc.) for storing data and/or computer code for completing and/or facilitating the various processes described herein. The memory may be or include non-transient volatile memory, non-volatile memory, and/or non-transitory computer storage media. The memory may include data base components, object code components, script components, or any other type of information structure for supporting the various activities and information structures described herein. The memory may be communicably connected to the processor and include computer code or instructions for executing one or more processes described herein. The mobile wallet provider computing system 106, the source account FI computing system 108, and the token service provider computing system 110 may each include server-based computing systems, for example, comprising one or more networked computer servers that are programmed to perform the operations described herein. In another example, the mobile wallet provider computing system 106, the source account FI computing system 108, and the token service provider computing system 110 may each be implemented as a distributed computing system where each function is spread over multiple computing systems.

Referring now to FIG. 2, process 200 is shown for provisioning a payment account to a mobile wallet, according to an example embodiment. The process 200 may be performed using the mobile payment provisioning system 100 shown in FIG. 1, including one or more of the initiating device 102, the user mobile device 104, the mobile wallet provider computing system 106, the source account FI computing system 108, and the token service provider computing system 110. According to process 200, provisioning of a source payment account is initiated using a device (i.e., the initiating device 102, e.g., a banker computer, an ATM, etc.) that is separate and distinct from the user's mobile device (i.e., the mobile device associated with the user's mobile wallet account). The initiating device 102 is described with regard to process 200 as being operated by the financial institution provider of the source payment account (e.g., source account FI computing system 108). However, it should be noted that in other embodiments the initiating device 102 may be operated and/or provided by another entity, including any other entity of the mobile payment provisioning system 100.

At 202 of the process 200, the initiating device 102 receives a request to provision a source payment account to the user's mobile wallet. The banker/user may initiate provisioning of the source payment account using an interface provided at the initiating device 102. The interface may be displayed to the banker/user, and the banker/user may provide input, using the initiating device I/O 116 of the initiating device 102. In an example embodiment, the interface is generated and provided by the source account FI computing system 108, enabling communication between the user and the source account FI computing system 108. For instance, the initiating device 102 may include an ATM associated with the source account FI computing system 108, an NFC device located at a branch location of the source financial institution, or another customer interface configured to communicate with the mobile wallet user.

In some embodiments, the user is required to authenticate to the initiating device 102 (e.g., the user interface) in order to initiate provisioning of the payment account (e.g., to submit a provisioning request). For instance, where the initiating device 102 is operated by the source account FI computing system 108 (e.g., an ATM), the user may be required to provide authentication credentials associated with the source financial institution, including one or more of a payment card, user name, password or PIN, and the like. In other embodiments, the authentication credentials may be related to the user's mobile wallet account, or other authentication credentials associated with the user and available for verification by the initiating device 102 (or the source account FI computing system 108). Once authenticated, the user may be provided with sensitive account information associated with the user, including a user interface providing a listing of payment accounts available for provisioning to the user's mobile wallet.

As part of the provisioning request, the banker/user selects a source payment account. In some embodiments, the initiating device 102 provides a display (e.g., via the user interface) of one or more payment accounts associated with the user and eligible for provisioning to a mobile wallet account. For instance, the source account FI computing system 108 may retrieve the user's account information from the accounts database 136, then display the available payment accounts to the user by the initiating device 102. Account information for the user may be retrieved based on information (e.g., authentication information) received from the user. The banker/user may then select a desired source account from those displayed. In some embodiments, the banker/user may indicate a source account that is not displayed by providing information associated with the source account (e.g., an account number, associated financial institution, associated person(s), user name, account type, etc.). The source account FI computing system 108 may then determine the source account (e.g., locate in the accounts database 136) based on the information provided. In some embodiments, the source account FI computing system 108 is able to identify a payment account provided by another financial institution, for instance, using the information provided. Once the source account is identified, the initiating device 102 (e.g., the source account FI computing system 108) may provide the banker/user with a link or other option that the user can select to initiate provisioning of the account.

The provisioning request may also include information related to the user's mobile wallet, including the mobile wallet provider (e.g., mobile wallet provider computing system 106). For instance, the banker/user may provide an identifier associated with the mobile wallet provider, mobile wallet account, device, and/or the user in order to identify the provider associated with the mobile wallet account. Similar to the source payment account, the source account FI computing system 108 may provide a display of several mobile wallet providers for selection by the banker/user.

At 204, the initiating device 102 receives address information associated with the user's mobile wallet. The address information includes a return address for the provisioned payment token, enabling a token service provider (or another provisioning entity) to locate (e.g., identify) the user's mobile wallet account, and to provision the payment account (e.g., the payment token) to the correct mobile wallet (i.e., the mobile wallet account held by the user). In an example embodiment, the address information is received from the mobile device 104. The address information may include a return address that is uniquely associated with the mobile device 104, such as a device identifier (e.g., SDiD). The return address provides location information for the mobile device 104, which may include a location for storing a provisioned payment token associated with the source payment account. In some embodiments, the user is prompted (e.g., by the source account FI computing system 108, by the mobile wallet provider) to facilitate communication of the address information upon initiating provisioning at the initiating device 102. The source account FI computing system 108 (or another associated entity) may prompt the user by sending a message via the initiating device 102 and/or the mobile device 104 (e.g., the source account FI client application 122). For instance, the user may be prompted to initiate a communication event between the mobile device 104 and the initiating device 102, including by causing the mobile device 104 to broadcast the address information, or by placing the mobile device 104 within range of a wireless reader of the initiating device 102.

In some embodiments, the mobile device 104 (e.g., the mobile wallet transaction circuit 120, the source account FI client application 122, etc.) enables the user to wirelessly transmit the address information to a nearby device. For instance, the mobile device 104 may be configured to, upon initiation by the user, extract the address information from the mobile device 104 (e.g., from a secure element or other memory device), encrypt the address information, and broadcast the encrypted address information (e.g., via NFC, Bluetooth, WiFi, infrared (IR), satellite, or other wireless transmission) to a nearby device. In some embodiments, the broadcast has a limited range (e.g., one or two feet), such that the user is required to bring the mobile device 104 within vicinity of the initiating device 102 to exchange the information. In other embodiments, the initiating device 102 may receive address information from the mobile wallet provider computing system 106, including identifiers relating to the mobile wallet account, the mobile wallet provider, and/or the user. Similar to address information from the mobile device 104, address information received from the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 may be extracted and encrypted prior to sending to the initiating device 102.

At 206, the source account FI computing system 108 receives the provisioning request, including the payment account selection and the encrypted address information, from the initiating device 102. Based on the payment account selection, the source account FI computing system 108 retrieves information related to the selected payment account from the accounts database 136. The retrieved information includes any information that is required to provision the account to the user's mobile wallet (i.e., the source payment account information), which may include an account number, identification of the source financial institution and the user, and so on.

At 208, the source account FI computing system 108 sends a message to the mobile wallet provider computing system 106, notifying the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 that a provisioning request has been received for a mobile wallet provided by the system 106. The message may be sent before or after sending the provisioning request to a token service provider (e.g., the TSP computing system 110). The message may include any of the information received from the initiating device 102, including identification of the user, the address information, or any other relevant information. The message may also include identification of the TSP computing system 110 (i.e., the token service provider), including an indication that a payment token will be transmitted by the TSP computing system 110 for receipt by the mobile wallet provider computing system 106.

In some embodiments, the source account FI computing system 108 also receives information from the mobile wallet provider computing system 106. As an example, the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 may provide address information (e.g., location information, a return address, a mobile wallet identifier) related to the mobile wallet of the user, e.g., instead of such information being provided by the mobile device 104. The information received from the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 may enable a token service provider to send a provisioned payment token to the correct mobile wallet account (i.e., store the payment token in the correct mobile wallet).

At 210, the source account FI computing system 108 sends the source payment account information, information from the mobile device 104, and/or information received from the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 to a token service provider (e.g., token service provider computing system 110). At 212, the TSP computing system 110 provisions a payment token based on the source payment account. The payment token is provisioned to the mobile wallet of the user, enabling the user to access funds from the source payment account using the user mobile device 104. The payment token is provisioned based on the source payment account information. The payment token may be provisioned by tokenizing the payment account information, as is otherwise described herein. Once provisioned, the payment token is associated with (e.g., assigned to) the source payment account and stored in a database of the TSP computing system 110 (e.g., token database 144).

The TSP computing system 110 also sends the payment token to the mobile device 104 via the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 at 212. The network location of the mobile wallet (i.e., the return address) is determined based on the address information provided as part of the provisioning request. The location may include an identifier associated with the mobile device 104, the mobile wallet account, and/or the user. In an example embodiment, the TSP computing system 110 sends the payment token to the mobile wallet provider computing system 106. The mobile wallet provider computing system 106 then sends the payment token to the mobile device 104 based on the return address provided by the user mobile device 104 (i.e., to the initiating device 102). The payment token is then stored on the mobile device 104 for use in accessing funds from the source payment account. For instance, the payment token may be stored on a secure element that is unique to the mobile device 104. The payment token may then be accessed (e.g., by the mobile wallet transaction circuit 120) to execute a transaction to or from the source payment account using the mobile device 104. In other embodiments, the payment token is stored solely at the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 and pulled (e.g., by the mobile wallet transaction circuit 120) in order to execute a transaction using the mobile device 104. In these embodiments, the address information includes identification of a mobile wallet account stored at the mobile wallet provider computing system 106.

Referring now to FIG. 3, process 300 is shown for provisioning a payment account to a mobile wallet, according to another example embodiment. In the example of FIG. 3, the provisioning request is sent by the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 to the token service provider computing system 110 (instead of being sent by the source account FI computing system 108, as in the example of FIG. 2).

The process 300 may be performed using the mobile payment provisioning system 100 shown in FIG. 1. Steps 302-306 are similar to steps 202-206 of process 200, and any description relating to steps 202-206 may be applied accordingly to steps 302-306. At 302, the mobile wallet user initiates provisioning of a payment account to the user's mobile wallet using the initiating device 102. At 304, the initiating device 102 receives address information from the user mobile device 104, including a return address for sending the provisioned payment account. At 306, the source account FI computing system 108 receives the provisioning request, including a payment account selection and mobile wallet address information, from the initiating device 102.

At 308, the source account FI computing system 108 sends the source payment account information and the mobile wallet address information to the mobile wallet provider (e.g., the mobile wallet provider computing system 106) as part of a provisioning request. In some embodiments, the source account FI computing system 108 determines the identity of the mobile wallet provider based on information received from the mobile wallet user. For instance, the banker or the mobile wallet user may identify the mobile wallet provider at the initiating device 102. The source account FI computing system 108 may also determine the mobile wallet provider based on the mobile wallet address information received from the user mobile device 104.

Upon receiving the request, the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 may request confirmation of the request from the mobile wallet user (e.g., via the user mobile device 104), including verification of the payment account information. The mobile wallet provider computing system 106 may also request verification of the payment account information from the source account FI computing system 108. The mobile wallet provider computing system 106 may also verify the mobile wallet address information by sending a communication to the user mobile device 104 (i.e., using the mobile wallet address information).

At 310, the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 sends the provisioning request (i.e., the payment account information and the mobile wallet address information) to a token service provider (e.g., the TSP computing system 110). In some embodiments, the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 notifies the mobile wallet user that the provisioning request has been sent, such as by sending a message to the user mobile device 104.

At 312, the TSP computing system 110 provisions a payment token and sends the provisioned payment token to the mobile wallet provider computing system 106. The payment token is provisioned based on the source payment account, replacing sensitive account information with a unique identifier that cannot be mathematically reversed. The payment token may be associated with (e.g., assigned to) the source payment account and stored in a database of the TSP computing system 110 (e.g., token database 144).

At 314, the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 sends the provisioned payment token to the user mobile device 104. The user mobile device 104 is identified (e.g., located in a network) based on the return address provided by the user mobile device 104 at step 304. In an example embodiment, the payment token is stored on the user mobile device 104. For instance, the payment token may be stored on a memory device (e.g., a secure element) that is unique to the mobile device 104. The payment token may then be accessed (e.g., by the mobile wallet transaction circuit 120) to execute a transaction to or from the source payment account using the mobile device 104. The payment token is also stored at the mobile wallet provider computing system 106. In some embodiments, the payment token is stored solely at the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 and pulled (e.g., by the mobile wallet transaction circuit 120) in order to execute a transaction using the mobile device 104. In these embodiments, the address information includes identification of a mobile wallet account stored at the mobile wallet provider computing system 106.

Referring now to FIG. 4, process 400 is shown for provisioning a payment account to a mobile wallet, according to another example embodiment. According to process 400, a user of a third party mobile wallet initiates provisioning of a source payment account using a mobile banking application provided by a source account financial institution (e.g., the provider of the source payment account, the source account FI computing system 108). Hence, provisioning is initiated using the same mobile device 104 upon which the mobile wallet executes, but through a different application (as opposed to having an initiating device which is not separate and distinct from the user mobile device 104). The process 400 is performed using the mobile payment provisioning system 100 shown in FIG. 1, including the user mobile device 104, the source account FI computing system 108, the mobile wallet provider computing system 106, and the TSP computing system 110.

At 402 of the process 400, the source account FI computing system 108 provides the source account FI client application 122 to the user mobile device 104. In an example embodiment, the client application 122 is a mobile banking application issued by or on behalf of the source account FI computing system 108. Hence, for example, operation 402 may comprise the user downloading a mobile banking application to the user mobile device 104.

At 404, the mobile wallet user initiates provisioning of a source payment account to a third party mobile wallet using the source account FI client application 122. The mobile wallet user may utilize an interface generated by the source account FI computing system 108 and provided via the client application 122. The interface may be similar to that described in process 200. In some embodiments, the user is required to authenticate to the client application 122 prior to accessing the interface or otherwise initiating provisioning of the payment account. For instance, the user may be required to provide authentication credentials associated with the source financial institution, including one or more of a user name, password, PIN, biometric information, and the like. In other embodiments, the authentication credentials may be related to the user's mobile wallet account, or other authentication credentials associated with the user and available for verification by the source account FI computing system 108. Once authenticated, the user may be provided with sensitive account information associated with the user, including a user interface providing a listing of payment accounts available for provisioning to the user's third party mobile wallet.

As part of a provisioning request, the user selects a source payment account. The source payment account is selected from one or more payment accounts held by the user and provided by the source account FI computing system 108. The source payment account may be selected from a list provided by the source account FI computing system 108 (i.e., via the client application 122). The user may also identify the user's third party mobile wallet provider as part of the provisioning request. For instance, the user may provide an identifier associated with the mobile wallet provider, mobile wallet account, device, and/or the user in order to identify the provider associated with the mobile wallet account. Once the source account (and any other information required from the user) is provided, the client application 122 (e.g., the source account FI computing system 108) provides the user with a link or other selectable option to initiate provisioning of the source payment account.

The source account FI computing system 108 also receives address information from the user mobile device 104 at 404. The address information includes a return address for the provisioned payment token, enabling a token service provider (or another provisioning entity) to locate (e.g., identify) the user's mobile wallet account, and to provision the payment account (e.g., the payment token) to the correct mobile wallet (i.e., the mobile wallet account held by the user). In some embodiments, the mobile wallet user sends the address information to the source account FI computing system 108 using the client application 122. For instance, the client application 122 may provide a link or other selectable option that causes the user mobile device 104 to extract the address information from the mobile device 104, encrypt the information, and send to the source account FI computing system 108 (e.g., via the client application 122). In some embodiments, the client application 122 communicates with the mobile transaction circuit to obtain the address information. In an example embodiment, the source account FI computing system 108 (e.g., via the client application 122) prompts the user to initiate communication of the address information upon receiving selection of a source account to be provisioned.

At 406, the source account FI computing system 108 sends a message to the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 (i.e., the third party mobile wallet provider), notifying the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 that a provisioning request has been received for a mobile wallet provided by the system 106. The message may include any of the information received from the mobile wallet user and/or the user mobile device 104, including identification of the user, the payment account, the address information, or any other relevant information. Transfer of such information may be authorized by the mobile wallet user prior to sending. The source account FI computing system 108 may also receive information from the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 at 406, including address information (e.g., location information, a return address, a mobile wallet identifier) related to the mobile wallet of the user or formatting requirements for any provisioned payment token.

At 408, the mobile wallet provider computing system 106 sends the provisioning request to a token service provider (e.g., TSP computing system 110). The TSP computing system 110 provisions a payment token based on the provisioning request. Once provisioned, the payment token is associated with (e.g., assigned to) the source payment account and stored in a database of the TSP computing system 110 (e.g., token database 144). At 410, the TSP computing system 110 sends the payment token to the mobile wallet provider computing system 106. At 412, mobile wallet provider computing system 106 sends the payment token to the user mobile device 104.

Referring now to FIG. 5, process 500 is shown for initiating provisioning of a payment account to a mobile wallet of a user, according to an example embodiment. The process 500 is performed by a source financial institution (i.e., the provider of the source payment account) in this embodiment, including the source account FI computing system 108 and an initiating device (e.g., initiating device 102) associated with the source financial institution.

At 502, the source account FI computing system 108 provides a user interface to a user (e.g., customer, banker) at the initiating device 102. The user interface is an interface configured to enable communication between the user and the source account FI computing system 108, including to exchange information required to initiate provisioning of a payment account to the user's mobile wallet. The user interface is generated by the source account FI computing system 108. At 504, the source account FI computing system 108 receives a request from the mobile wallet user to provision a payment account to the user's mobile wallet, including selection of the source payment account. The request is received via the user interface provided at the initiating device 102. The mobile wallet user may be required to authenticate to the initiating device 102 (e.g., in the case of an ATM) prior to sending the provisioning request.

At 506, the source account FI computing system 108 retrieves account information for the selected payment account based on the provisioning request. At 508, the source account FI computing system 108 (i.e., via the initiating device 102) receives address information for the user's mobile wallet account from the user mobile device 104. The address information may be provided upon request from the source account FI computing system 108. The address information may be received upon initiation of a communication event between the user mobile device 104 and the initiating device 102. In an example embodiment, the address information is encrypted by the mobile device before it is transmitted. The source account FI computing system 108 may also receive one or more encryption keys to decrypt the information received.

At 510, the source account FI computing system 108 initiates provisioning of the selected payment account based on the payment account and address information. For instance, the source account FI computing system 108 may send the information to a token service provider as part of a provisioning request. In other embodiments, the source account FI computing system 108 sends the information to a mobile wallet provider (e.g., the mobile wallet provider computing system 106) to initiate provisioning. At 512, the source account FI computing system 108 (e.g., the initiating device 102) receives verification that the source payment account has been provisioned (e.g., a payment token has been provisioned based on the payment account, the payment token has been stored at the user mobile device 104, etc.). The source account FI computing system 108 may send a confirmation to the mobile wallet user (e.g., via the initiating device 102, via the client application 122) that the payment account has been provisioned to the user's mobile wallet.
