ISSUING A VIRTUAL VALUE-BEARING CARD ASSOCIATED WITH ONLY NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION FROM A KIOSK

摘要

A system and method for issuing a virtual value-bearing card associated with only non-personally identifying information is disclosed. A remote internet enabled device, an input device, a network coupling, and a card dispenser communicate to convert physical or electronic currency, wherein the converted funds are immediately available to the user with a virtual value bearing card stored on an application hosted on an internet enabled device. The converted funds are simultaneously available on a physical card. The input device is configured to receive input to scan a code graphically provided by the internet enabled device. The code includes only non-personally identifiable information. The network coupling is configured to send the new account request to an acquirer processor and to receive an approval response from the acquirer processor. A virtual card initiator is operationally coupled to the network coupling, the virtual card initiator being configured to link the account number and the value of the received assets together with a request to generate the virtual value-bearing card, activate the card, load funds onto the card and to add the card to a remote internet enabled device, such as a smart phone. The virtual card includes only non-personally identifiable information. The non-personally identifiable information includes the account number.
