System and method for implementing payment via quick response (QR) code

A mobile device that makes a peer-to-peer transaction using a Quick Response Code (“QR Code”), the mobile device comprising:

• a memory component that stores customer data;
• and
• a computer processor, coupled to the memory, programmed to:
• receive, from a payee, a request for a QR Code for a payment from a payer, the QR code comprising a payment amount and a time period which the QR Code will be active, the time period comprising a start date and an expiration date;
• generate, without any form of payee registration, the requested QR Code;
• communicate the QR Code to a financial institution;
• receive, from the financial institution, an updated QR Code on the mobile device containing the payment amount and the time period which the updated QR Code will be active, as well as a global identifier (GUID) that identifies a financial account of the payee and no payee personal information;
• present the updated QR Code to the payer via one or more of hardcopy, email, mobile application, and text message;
• receive confirmation of a payer authorization, upon the payer scanning the updated QR Code, for payment of the requested amount defined in the QR code within the requested time period;
• receive a payment based on the updated QR Code and the payer authorization, from the payer, where the payment is routed to the financial account identified by the GUID;
• and
• provide an interactive user interface for QR code management, configured to display to the payee on the payee device:
• a top bar with selectable buttons for accessing or designating one or more payee accounts, accessing a home screen, accessing a bill pay screen, and accessing a logout screen;
• a plurality of pending QR codes and supporting information for incomplete transactions, the supporting information for each incomplete transaction including a transaction description, a transaction amount, and a validity date range, wherein the interactive user interface allows the payee to edit, print, and transmit each of the plurality of pending QR codes;
• a plurality of completed QR codes and supporting information for finalized transactions, the supporting information for each finalized transaction including a transaction description, a payer, a transaction amount, and a transaction date, wherein the interactive user interface allows the payee to edit, print, and transmit each of the plurality of completed QR codes;
• and
• interactive buttons for creating a new QR code to pay or to receive payment for a new transaction, wherein payee selection of the interactive buttons causes a QR code generation template to be displayed to the payee on the payee device.
