## Abstract

Disclosed embodiments include methods, systems, and computer-readable media configured to, for example, enable parties conducting transactions to identify a financial institution and payment network for a financial account associated with a pre-provisioned payment token using existing payment protocols. The method may include receiving from a third-party device a request for funding account information that identifies a token that does not identify a financial service provider or a payment network. The method may further include accessing a database to retrieve token information associated with the token, the token information include a link account number that indicates a funding account, a financial service provider associated with the funding account, and a payment network, and user preferences associated with the token. The method may further include providing the link account number to the third-party device in response to the request for funding account information according to the one or more user preferences.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system, comprising:
a database configured to store a plurality of pre-provisioned, wearable device tokens;
at least one network communication device;
a storage device comprising instructions; and
at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations, comprising:
receiving a request for funding account information from a third-party device, the request for funding account information identifying one of the pre-provisioned tokens without identifying a financial service provider or a payment network;
accessing the database to retrieve token information associated with the pre-provisioned token identified in the request, the token information comprising at least (i) a plurality of link account numbers that each indicate a corresponding funding account, a corresponding financial service provider associated with the funding account, and a corresponding payment network, and (ii) one or more user preferences associated with the pre-provisioned token indicating which link account number from among the plurality of link account numbers to select based on the requesting third party or a transaction amount;
selecting one of the link account numbers based on at least one of the user preferences; and
providing the selected link account number to the third-party device in response to the request for funding account information.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the third-party device comprises a merchant device.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the user preferences indicate when additional information is required at the third-party device based on a set of predefined settings.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the identified pre-provisioned token comprises one of the pre-provisioned tokens that is received by the third-party device from a wearable device.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The system of claim 4, wherein the identified pre-provisioned token is received by the third-party device via near field communication.

### Claim 6

A method, comprising:
receiving a request for funding account information from a third-party device, the request for funding account information identifying a pre-provisioned token stored in a database, the request not identifying a financial service provider or a payment network;
accessing the database to retrieve token information associated with the pre-provisioned token identified in the request, the token information comprising at least (i) a plurality of link account numbers that each indicate a corresponding funding account, a corresponding financial service provider associated with the funding account, and a corresponding payment network, and (ii) one or more user preferences associated with the pre-provisioned token that indicate which link account number from among the plurality of link account numbers to select based on the requesting third party or a transaction amount;
selecting one of the link account numbers based on at least one of the user preferences; and
providing the selected link account number to the third-party device in response to the request for funding account information.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6, wherein the third-party device comprises a merchant device.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6, wherein the user preferences indicate when additional information is required at the third-party device based on a set of predefined settings.

### Claim 9 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6, wherein the identified pre-provisioned token comprises one of the pre-provisioned tokens that is received by the third-party device from a wearable device.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, wherein the identified pre-provisioned token is received by the third-party device via near field communication.

### Claim 11

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving a request for funding account information from a third-party device, the request for funding account information identifying a pre-provisioned token stored in a database, the request not identifying a financial service provider or a payment network;
accessing the database to retrieve token information associated with the pre-provisioned token identified in the request, the token information comprising at least (i) a plurality of link account numbers that each indicate a corresponding funding account, a corresponding financial service provider associated with the funding account, and a corresponding payment network, and (ii) one or more user preferences associated with the pre-provisioned token that indicate which link account number from among the plurality of link account numbers to select based on the requesting third party or a transaction amount;
selecting one of the link account numbers based on at least one of the user preferences; and
providing the selected link account number to the third-party device in response to the request for funding account information.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11, wherein the third-party device comprises a merchant device.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11, wherein the user preferences indicate when additional information is required at the third-party device based on a set of predefined settings.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11, wherein the identified pre-provisioned token comprises one of the pre-provisioned tokens that is received by the third-party device from a wearable device.
