Described herein are techniques for facilitating push provisioning of a user payment source into a user's digital wallet without the user having a physical card. The techniques allow an issuer to provide a button in an issuer's mobile application for the user to simply push the button to request that the payment source be imported into the user's digital pay wallet. In this way, the payment source information is 'pushed' into the pay wallet. Using push provisioning, the user need not enter any physical card information. The described techniques generate a chain of trust that can be used to ensure that a user, through an issuer and using an encryption gateway, authorizes a token service provider to provision the payment source into the user's digital wallet.

Systems and methods are provided for a decentralized distributed ledger that hosts a directory service for customer aliases to facilitate obtaining customer account details. Aspects of the present disclosure may include receiving a request to execute a transaction, wherein the request includes identification information associated with a particular user, transmitting a communication to the database of the existing distributed ledger, wherein the second communication includes a request for an identity of a contributing entity that previously contributed user data associated with the particular user to the database, and wherein the request for the identity of the contributing entity includes an alias associated with the particular user, receiving the identity of the contributing entity, executing a request for account information for the particular user from the contributing entity, wherein the request for account information is transmitted to the contributing entity, receiving account information associated with the particular user, and executing the transaction using the account information.

A gateway encryption service is used to ensure consistent, source independent tokenization for payment accounts and synchronizing payment account information with merchants. A consistent, evergreen merchant-facing token is generated and used for each payment account for the merchant, ensuring that regardless of the payment method used by the customer (e.g., plastic card point-of-sale, pay wallet, saved card information) for the same underlying account, the merchant has a single token. Further, if the account number for the underlying payment account changes (e.g., the card expires or is stolen) the merchant-facing token remains consistent. The evergreen token ensures that the system functions more efficiently, saving resources in processing and storage and ensuring less network traffic for failed transactions. The system further implements encryption and security despite the consistent tokenization, further saving resources.
