SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USE IN IDENTIFYING NETWORK INTERACTIONS

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for identifying types of network interactions. An example method includes generating, by a token service provider, a token for a payment account based on a request from a user, where the token includes an indicator of a type of transaction for which the token is available for use, and provisioning, by the token service provider, the token to a third party. In doing so, in response to use of the token in a transaction to the payment account, the indicator is included at a first data element of an authorization request for the transaction to the payment account thereby identifying the type of the transaction in the authorization request.
