Instant token issuance

Abstract:

A user can request provisioning of account information for an account to a plurality of resource providing entities. The account may be a new or existing account issued by an authorization computer. The authorization computer may prompt the user to select one or more resource providing entities to which to provision a token associated with the account. Processor server computer may then tokenize the account information associated with the account by determining a token for each resource providing entity selected by the user. In some cases, a token may be provisioned to an already existing account or profile (e.g., account on file) associated with a resource providing entity. In other cases, an account or profile associated with a resource providing entity may not yet exist and thus may be created before a token may be provisioned. Subsequently, the user may utilize provisioned tokens to conduct transactions.
