Abstract
Various examples are directed to systems and methods for secure mobile wallet transactions. A computing device on which a mobile wallet operates may receive payment credentials from other devices using near field communication (NFC) path and/or wallet-to-wallet (W2W) communication paths. The computing device may initiate an NFC mode in response to user selection or the identification of a nearby NFC-enabled device. The computing device may send the received payment credentials to a wallet service provider associated with the mobile wallet using W2W communication. The computing device may send approvals or denials of the transaction to the other device.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- initiating an NFC mode on a first mobile device associated with a first mobile wallet;
- receiving, with the first mobile device, payment credentials for a transaction from a second mobile device using near field communication (NFC);
- sending, by the first mobile device, the received payment credentials to a mobile wallet provider, associated with the first mobile wallet, using wallet to wallet (W2W) communication;
- and
- receiving, with the first mobile device, an approval or denial of the transaction from the mobile wallet provider using W2W communication.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, with a recipient mobile wallet operating on a computing device, first payment credentials for a first transaction from a first mobile device using near field communication (NFC);
- sending the first payment credentials to a mobile wallet provider associated with the recipient mobile wallet using W2W communication;
- receiving a first approval or denial for the first transaction from the wallet service provider using W2W communication;
- sending an indication of the first approval or denial for the first transaction to first mobile device using NFC;
- receiving, with the recipient mobile wallet, second payment credentials for a second transaction from a second mobile device using W2W communication;
- sending the second payment credentials to the mobile wallet provider associated with recipient mobile wallet using W2W communication;
- receiving a second approval or denial for the second transaction from the wallet service provider using W2W communication;
- and
- sending an indication of the second approval or denial for the second transaction to the second mobile device using W2W.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations of:
- initiating an NFC mode on a first mobile device associated with a first mobile wallet;
- receiving, with the first mobile device, payment credentials for a transaction from a second mobile device using near field communication (NFC);
- sending, by the first mobile device, the received payment credentials to a mobile wallet provider, associated with the first mobile wallet, using wallet to wallet (W2W) communication;
- and
- receiving, with the first mobile device, a first approval or denial of the transaction from the mobile wallet provider using W2W communication.
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one storage device comprising instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, configure to at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- initiating an NFC mode on a first mobile device associated with a first mobile wallet;
- receiving, with the first mobile device, payment credentials for a transaction from a second mobile device using near field communication (NFC);
- sending, by the first mobile device, the received payment credentials to a mobile wallet provider, associated with the first mobile wallet, using wallet to wallet (W2W) communication;
- and
- receiving, with the first mobile device, an approval or denial of the transaction from the mobile wallet provider using W2W communication.
