SYSTEM AND METHOD OF TOKENIZING DEPOSIT ACCOUNT NUMBERS FOR USE AT PAYMENT CARD ACCEPTANCE POINT

摘要

A method of routing a payment transaction includes receiving a transaction request message. The message includes a payment token that was previously issued to an account holder. The payment token is translated into a funding account indicator. The funding account indicator is in a format defined for payment card account numbers in a payment account system. The funding account indicator is translated into a bank account number. The bank account number identifies a bank deposit account owned by the account holder. An EFT message is transmitted to initiate an EFT transaction to be funded from the bank deposit account owned by the account holder. The EFT message includes the bank account number.
