NON-NATIVE ACCOUNT PROCESSING

Abstract:

A technique for enabling non-native accounts to be processed by a processing system may include receiving an account identifier scheme that is used by a third-party entity to provide access to accounts associated with the third-party entity, and assigning an entity identifier to the third-party entity in which the entity identifier conforms to a native format used by the processing system. An application programming interface can be modified to recognize account identifiers of the third-party entity. A transaction request can be received to execute a transaction in which the transaction request includes a resource provider identifier of the third-party entity and an account identifier of an account of the third-party entity. The entity identifier assigned to the third-party entity can be determined using the modified application programming interface, and the transaction can be processed using the entity identifier assigned to the third-party entity.
