Midrange contactless transactions

A method comprising:

• detecting, by a wireless transceiver of a communication device, a transmission from a wireless base station;
• determining that the transmission includes a transaction service identifier;
• in response to determining that the beacon transmission includes a transaction service identifier:
• invoking a transaction application associated with the transaction service identifier;
• and
• establishing a secured communication channel with the wireless base station;
• receiving, from the wireless base station on the secured communication channel, transaction information for a transaction associated with a transaction identifier mapped to a device identifier associated with the communication device;
• and
• sending a transaction cryptogram from the transaction application to the wireless base station to conduct the transaction.

A device comprising:

• a wireless transceiver;
• a controller;
• and
• a memory storing a set of instructions, which when executed by the controller, causes the device to:
• transmit, using the wireless transceiver, a transmission that includes a transaction service identifier;
• in response to a transaction application installed on a communication device recognizing the transaction service identifier, establish a secured communication channel with the communication device;
• transmit, on the secured communication channel, transaction information for a transaction associated with a transaction identifier mapped to a device identifier associated with the communication device;
• and
• receive, on the secured communication channel, a transaction cryptogram from the transaction application to conduct the transaction.
