Abstract
Systems and methods for identifying a user to a merchant are described. A token service provider facilitates the identification of the user. Identifying the user at the merchant is accomplished by the user broadcasting a token associated with the user or by the merchant capturing a biometric of the user. The token or biometric is sent to the token service provider computing system. The token service provider computing system identifies the user based on the token or biometric. The token service provider computing system may send user information associated with the token and the user to the merchant computing system.
