Abstract:

In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method for causing funds to be transferred between a first user and a second user of a payment transfer system includes receiving, from an application executing on a user device of the first user, a user input for a payment transfer. The user input includes an identifier associated with the second user and a payment amount. The method includes configuring a resource associated with the payment transfer system and accessible via an interactive interface element activatable at a user device of the second user. The resource is configured to initiate transfer of the payment amount. The method includes causing an electronic message associated with the payment transfer and the interactive interface element to be transmitted to the user device of the second user. The method includes, upon receiving an indication of an intent to effectuate the payment transfer, initiating a transfer of the payment amount.
