Patent

CA 2441547

A hybrid credit card transaction system that processes transactions as either virtual standard transactions directed through a clearing house or as virtual closed loop transactions bypassing the clearinghouse, is disclosed. The system includes a logic enabled merchant that directs virtual closed loop transactions and directs them to an affiliated acquiring entity which acquires the virtual closed loop transactions and routes them directly to an affiliated card issuing entity so as to bypass the clearinghouse. The affiliated card issuing entity debits virtual standard transactions to a credit card account and virtual closed loop transactions to a private label account. The logic enabled merchant, associated acquiring entity and the associated card entity may be affiliated by participation in an Internet site that promotes transactions between small businesses and merchants selling wholesale goods. A reduction in processing fees accrued when bypassing the clearinghouse promotes issuance and use of the hybrid credit cards.

La présente invention concerne un système de transaction par carte de crédit hybride permettant de traiter les transactions soit comme des transactions de base virtuelles passant par une chambre de compensation, soit comme des transactions en boucle fermée virtuelles contournant la chambre de compensation. Ce système comprend un commerçant logique qui détecte des transactions à boucle fermée virtuelles et qui les dirigent vers une entité acquéreur affiliée, qui achète les transactions à boucle fermée virtuelles, et qui les achemine directement vers une entité émetteur de carte affiliée, de manière à contourner la chambre de compensation. L'entité émetteur de carte affiliée débite les transactions de base virtuelles d'un compte-carte, et les transactions à boucle fermée virtuelles d'un compte de la marque de distribution. Le commerçant logique, l'entité acquéreur associée et l'entité carte associée peuvent être affiliés par une participation à un site Internet qui encourage les transactions entre des petites entreprises et des commerçants vendant des biens de gros. Selon la présente invention, la réduction des frais de traitement renforcée lorsque la chambre de compensation est contournée encourage l'émission et l'utilisation des cartes de crédit hybrides.
