Entity-based controls for value transfer cards

Abstract

In an aspect, a computing system is configured to: send, to a transfer rail server, a request for stored card data associated with a value transfer card; receive stored card data identifying an entity having a stored representation of the value transfer card; provide user interface data to a client device, the user interface data causing the client device to display a user interface that includes an entity listing that is based on the stored card data, the user interface including a selectable option to add an entity-based control to the identified entity; receive, from the client device, an instruction to apply an entity-based control to an identified one of the entities in the stored card data; and in response to receiving the instruction to apply the entity-based control, implement the entity-based control to affect use of the value transfer card by the identified entity and not affect use of the value transfer card by other entities.

1 . A computing system comprising:
 a communications module;   a processor coupled to the communications module; and   a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing processor-executable instructions which, when executed, configure the processor to:
 send, via the communications module and to a transfer rail server, a request for stored card data associated with a value transfer card; 
 receive, via the communications module and from the transfer rail server, stored card data; 
 provide user interface data to a client device, the user interface data causing the client device to display a user interface that includes an entity listing that is based on the stored card data; 
 receive, via the communications module and from the client device, an instruction to apply an entity-based control to an identified one of the entities in the stored card data; and 
 in response to receiving the instruction to apply the entity-based control, implement the entity-based control. 
   
     
     
         2 . The computing system of  claim 1 , wherein implementing the entity-based control comprises:
 sending, to the transfer rail server, an instruction to apply the entity-based control, the instruction identifying the identified entity and the value transfer card.   
     
     
         3 . The computing system of  claim 1 , wherein the entity-based control includes a stop transfer control that prohibits the identified entity from processing a transfer using the value transfer card until the stop transfer control is removed. 
     
     
         4 . The computing system of  claim 1 , wherein the entity-based control includes a location-based use restriction that prevents use of the value transfer card by the identified entity at a first location. And allows use of the value transfer card by the identified entity at a second location. 
     
     
         5 . The computing system of  claim 4 , wherein the first location includes a location associated with the identified entity. 
     
     
         6 . The computing system of  claim 4 , wherein the entity-based control prevents use of the value transfer card by the identified entity outside of a home country associated with the identified entity. 
     
     
         7 . The computing system of  claim 1 , wherein the entity-based control includes a control based on a threshold, and wherein the threshold is included in the instruction to apply the entity-based control. 
     
     
         8 . The computing system of  claim 7 , wherein the threshold defines a maximum transfer value for a time period. 
     
     
         9 . The computing system of  claim 7 , wherein the threshold defines a maximum transfer value for a single transfer of value. 
     
     
         10 . The computing system of  claim 1 , wherein the entity-based control includes a time-based restriction preventing use of the value transfer card by the identified entity on a first date and allowing the use of the value transfer card by the identified entity on a second date. 
     
     
         11 . The computing system of  claim 10 , wherein the entity-based control specifies one or more of:
 a date on which the value transfer card may be used by the identified entity;   a range of dates on which the value transfer card may be used by the identified entity;   an end date after which the value transfer card may not be used by the identified entity; and   a recurring date range during which the value transfer card may be used by the identified entity.   
     
     
         12 . The computing system of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions further configure the processor to update the user interface at the client device to indicate that the entity-based control has been applied and to include a selectable option to remove the entity-based control. 
     
     
         13 . The computing system of  claim 1 , wherein the entity listing includes an entity having stored a tokenized representation of the value transfer card and an entity having stored a non-tokenized representation of the value transfer card and wherein the user interface provides a selectable option to add the entity-based control for the entity having stored the tokenized representation of the value transfer card, and wherein the user interface does not provide a selectable option for the entity having stored the non-tokenized representation of the value transfer card. 
     
     
         14 . A method comprising:
 sending, to a transfer rail server, a request for stored card data associated with a value transfer card;   receiving, from the transfer rail server, stored card data;   providing user interface data to a client device, the user interface data causing the client device to display a user interface that includes an entity listing that is based on the stored card data;   receiving, from the client device, an instruction to apply an entity-based control to an identified one of the entities in the stored card data; and   in response to receiving the instruction to apply the entity-based control, implementing the entity-based control.

         16 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the entity-based control includes a stop transfer control that prohibits the identified entity from processing a transfer using the value transfer card until the stop transfer control is removed. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the entity-based control includes a location-based use restriction that prevents use of the value transfer card by the identified entity at a first location.
