TECHNIQUES FOR CO-EXISTENCE OF MULTIPLE STORED VALUE APPLICATIONS ON A SINGLE PAYMENT DEVICE MANAGING A SHARED BALANCE

摘要

A method of managing a first stored value application having a first application balance and a second stored value application having a second application balance, can include the steps of facilitating conducting of a first transaction by the first stored value application, and synchronizing the second stored value application with the first stored value application. The synchronization can be substantially contemporaneous with the transaction. The applications can reside on the same portable payment device.
