The MERCHANT-CONSUMER BRIDGING PLATFORM APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS ('MCB-Platform') various activity requests (e.g., transaction request, merchant information update request, offer issuance request, etc.) via MCB-Platform components into transaction records and merchant database updates outputs. In one implementation, a method is disclosed, comprising: receiving an activity request including merchant information associated with a merchant; retrieving a previously stored merchant record from a database; determining merchant information update indicia based on a comparison of the merchant information and the previously stored merchant record; determining a confidence metric for the merchant information update; retrieving a confidence requirement based on the activity request; determining, within a low-latency processing time-frame, whether the determined confidence metric satisfies the retrieved confidence requirement; performing the requested activity and updating the previously stored merchant record with the merchant information update indicia when the determined confidence metric satisfies the retrieved confidence requirement; and declining the activity request when the determined confidence metric satisfies the retrieved confidence requirement.

The UNIVERSAL ELECTRONIC PAYMENT APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS ('UEP') transform touchscreen inputs into a virtual wallet mobile application interface via UEP components into purchase transaction triggers and receipt notices. In one implementation the UEP provides, via a user device, a product information search request; and obtains, in response to the product information search request, information on a first product for sale by a first merchant and a second product for sale by a second merchant. The UEP generates a single purchase transaction request, using the information on the first product for sale by the first merchant and the second product for sale by the second merchant. The UEP provides, via the user device, the single purchase transaction request for payment processing. Also, the UEP obtains an electronic purchase receipt for the first product for sale by the first merchant and the second product for sale by the second merchant.

A merchant debit card program is described that includes a plurality of authorized issuers for debit card accounts. The merchant debit card program includes a merchant loyalty program that provides rewards to enrolled debit card accounts. The authorized issuers provide management of the debit card accounts including customer statements, payment authorizations and customer service. Application data for a new debit card account is transmitted from the merchant to the selected issuer by a card processing system. Enrollment data to the merchant loyalty program may also be transmitted from the merchant to an authorized issuer by the card processing system.
