System and method using merchant token

Abstract:

A merchant computer generates a token including a "pay-me" merchant account identifier and transaction data for a transaction conducted by a consumer. The merchant token can be obtained by a mobile communication device and transmitted to a payment processing network along with a device identifier for the mobile communication device and an authentication token provided by the consumer. The payment processing network can authenticate the device using the authentication token, retrieve a consumer account number based on the device identifier, and complete the transaction by pushing money into the merchant "pay-me" account from the consumer account.
