Method and system for facilitating transaction card procurement

A system for facilitating transaction card procurement, the system comprising:

• a payment network server configured to:
• receive, from a user device of a user, a card procurement request for procuring a new transaction card that is linked to a payment account of the user, wherein the card procurement request is initiated through an application installed on the user device of the user and includes a first identifier of a first transaction card dispenser that is selected for the procurement of the new transaction card;
• communicate to the first transaction card dispenser, a card dispensing request for confirming an availability of the first transaction card dispenser to dispense the new transaction card, the card dispensing request including a verification code specific to the card procurement request for the new transaction card;
• receive from the first transaction card dispenser, an approval for the card dispensing request indicating the first transaction card dispenser is available to dispense the new transaction card;
• and
• receive from the first transaction card dispenser, a user verification request including authentication data of the user, the authentication data including biometric data of the user captured by the first transaction card dispenser;
• compare the biometric data of the user received in the user verification request with stored biometric data of the user;
• communicate to the first transaction card dispenser, a user verification response based on the comparison of the biometric data of the user received in the user verification request with the stored biometric data of the user;
• and
• communicate to the user device, based on the received approval, a user verification code for use at the first transaction card dispenser for procuring the new transaction card, whereby the new transaction card is dispensed by the first transaction card dispenser for the user in response to a successful verification at the first transaction card dispenser between the user verification code and the verification code specific to the card procurement request, and the user verification response indicating a successful verification between the biometric data of the user received in the user verification request and the stored biometric data of the user.
