System and method for using intelligent codes to add a stored-value card to an electronic wallet

A system comprising an e-wallet provider computer device having a processor unit and executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium which, when executed by the processor unit, causes:

• the e-wallet provider computer device having the processor unit to receive a request to add a closed loop stored-value card to an electronic wallet, wherein the electronic wallet is stored in a database of an e-wallet provider, wherein the request is facilitated by interpreting an intelligent code by a user device, wherein interpreting the intelligent code by the user device directs a user to an electronic wallet website, wherein the user device provides stored-value card information to the electronic wallet website, and wherein the stored-value card information comprises a security key for the closed loop stored-value card;
• the e-wallet provider computer device having the processor unit to determine whether the stored-value card already exists in the electronic wallet;
• the e-wallet provider computer device having the processor unit to communicate information, via a network connection to a merchant and to a closed loop stored-value card processor, concerning activation of the closed loop stored-value card and to determine a balance of the closed loop store-value card, wherein the closed loop stored-value card processor is not an owner of the electronic wallet.
