Abstract
A computer-implemented method for facilitating a transaction between a payer and a merchant comprises identifying one or more merchants that are at or in proximity to a geolocation of the payer, and providing the payer a reward, notification or a reminder of a stored value associated with a merchant to apply to a transaction with the merchant. The reward, notification or reminder of the stored value can be provided based on an inference of intent of the payer to conduct a transaction with the merchant. A request to conduct a transaction with the merchant is received from the payer. The transaction between the payer and the merchant is processed with the reward or stored value applied thereto. A notification can be sent to the payer alerting the payer to a discounted item or proximity of the payer to an item and/or merchant they have saved to a list.
