Abstract
A new approach is proposed to support instant merchant activation for secured in-person payment at a point of sale (POS) of a merchant. When a customer initiates an in-person payment request at a payment initiation device associated with the merchant, the payment initiation device collects both sensitive and non-sensitive portions of electronic payment transaction data for the request and encrypts the sensitive data portion for secured transmission. A payment gateway in the payment transaction process relays the data and the payment request to a payment processor for approval by an issuer and transmits only the non-sensitive portion of the data to a payment service engine for risk analysis if the payment request is approved by the issuer. The payment service engine determines if the payment request is at high risk based on risk analysis of non-sensitive portion of the data and notifies the payment initiation device and/or merchant accordingly.
