Abstract
A method being implemented via execution of computing instructions configured to run at one or more processors and stored at one or more non-transitory computer-readable media. The method can include receiving, at a mobile device from a point-of-sale terminal of a first entity, an identifier of the first entity, a transaction amount for a transaction, and a transaction identifier for the transaction. The method also can include receiving an authorization from a user of the mobile device for the transaction while the user is at the point-of-sale terminal, the mobile device running a mobile application that is associated with a mobile wallet provider. The method additionally can include determining that the mobile device is unable to communicate with the mobile wallet provider. The method further can include generating an encrypted transaction code. The encrypted transaction code can include a preauthorization from the user to pay the first entity for the transaction amount from a first account of the user maintained by a first financial institution. The method additionally can include sending the encrypted transaction code from the mobile device to the point-of-sale terminal to cause the encrypted transaction code to be sent through a proxy communication channel extending from the point-of-sale terminal, through a transaction system, to the mobile wallet provider, to cause the mobile wallet provider to decrypt the encrypted transaction code and verify the preauthorization from the user, to cause the first financial institution to retrieve from the transaction system an account identifier of a second account of the first entity maintained by a second financial institution based on the identifier of the first entity and send to the transaction system payment information regarding a payment to be made to the second account from the first account for the transaction, to cause the payment information to be routed through the transaction system to the second financial institution, and to cause the point-of-sale terminal to receive a notification of the payment for the transaction in real-time while the user remains at the point-of-sale terminal. Other embodiments are described.
