Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

According to one embodiment, a system includes a memory comprising instructions, an interface, and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the interface. The interface is configured to receive, from a user device, a token to complete a transaction, send, to an issuer server, a request to verify the received token, and receive, in response to the request to verify the received token, translated information associated with the token. The processor is configured, when executing the instructions, to process the transaction using the translated information.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A system, comprising: a memory comprising instructions; an interface configured to: receive, from a user device, a token to complete a transaction; send, to an issuer server, a request to verify the received token; and receive, in response to the request to verify the received token, translated information associated with the token; a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the interface, the processor configured, when executing the instructions, to process the transaction using the translated information. 2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the token comprises a non-exploitable representation of the translated information. 3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the token is associated with a financial account. 4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the financial account is a checking account. 5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the token comprises information corresponding to an account number of the checking account. 6 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the token comprises information corresponding to a routing number of the checking account. 7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the token is uniquely associated with the user device. 8 . A method, comprising: receiving, from a user device, a token to complete a transaction; sending, to an issuer server, a request to verify the received token; receiving, in response to the request to verify the received token, translated information associated with the token; and processing the transaction using the translated information. 9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the token comprises a non-exploitable representation of the translated information. 10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the token is associated with a financial account. 11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the financial account is a checking account. 12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the token comprises information corresponding to an account number of the checking account. 13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the token comprises information corresponding to a routing number of the checking account. 14 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the token is uniquely associated with the user device. 15 . A computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are configured, when executed by a processor, to: receive, from a user device, a token to complete a transaction; send, to an issuer server, a request to verify the received token; receive, in response to the request to verify the received token, translated information associated with the token; and process the transaction using the translated information. 16 . The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , where the token comprises a non-exploitable representation of the translated information. 17 . The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the token is associated with a financial account. 18 . The computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the financial account is a checking account. 19 . The computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the token comprises information corresponding to an account number of the checking account. 20 . The computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the token comprises information corresponding to a routing number of the checking account.
