A payer computing system includes a processing resource, a memory resource, and computer-executable instructions stored thereon and embodied in a customer-side application programming interface (API). The instructions, when executed by the processing resource, cause the payer computing system to receive an electronic payment request and, in response, generate a request (e.g., a first API message) to access a biller computing system using a previously generated payer electronic token. The request is transmitted to the biller computing system. The payer computing system receives (e.g., via a second API message) payment information provided by the biller computing system in response to the request to access. Based on payment information, the payer computing system generates a payment transaction and causes (e.g., via a third API message) the payment transaction to be initiated.

Biller directory and payments engine architecture

A computer-implemented method includes receiving an electronic enrollment request including identification information associated with a receiving financial institution holding a receiving financial account for a biller. The method includes displaying, on a user interface of a user computing device, an interactive control configured to collect user authentication data for the biller. The user holds an account with the biller. In response to receiving authentication data at the user computing device, the method includes transmitting the authentication data to a remote computing system associated with the biller, causing the remote computing system associated with the biller to generate an authentication token after validating the authentication data, generating a biller enrollment record, the biller enrolment record including the authentication token, and saving the authentication token relationally to information regarding a user and relationally to information regarding the biller.

Biller consortium enrollment and transaction management engine

A computing device includes a processing resource, a memory resource, and computer-executable instructions stored thereon and embodied in a biller exchange bill pay application. The instructions, when executed by the processing resource, cause the computing device to receive, from a remote computing system, a data set comprising a plurality of billers. Each of the plurality of billers is subscribed to a biller exchange structured to allow each of the plurality of billers to deliver and receive payment on customer bills via a biller exchange computing system. A user-interactive page comprising at least one user-interactive control is generated and displayed on the computing device. The user-interactive control includes at least one property dynamically populated based on the data set comprising the plurality of billers (such as, for example, a property binding the user-interactive control to the data set). Responsive to detecting a user interaction with the user-interactive control, computing operations can be performed. The computing operations can be specified at least in part using the at least one property of the user-interactive control (such as, for example, performing a particular operation for a particular biller from the data set).
