20150019417 | UPDATING A DIGITAL WALLET FROM FINANCIAL ACCOUNT ISSUER - A digital wallet provider system provides an interface specification to a financial account issuer. Using the interface specification, the financial account issuer system provides user financial account information directly to the digital wallet provider system without requiring the user to enter the user's financial account information. Once the digital wallet provider system receives the user's financial account information from the financial account issuer system, the digital wallet provider system verifies the identity of the user and the completeness of the financial account information received from the financial account issuer system. The digital wallet provider then updates the user's digital wallet account, on behalf of the user, to include the user's financial account. | 01-15-2015 |
