Abstract

A computing system can receive a primary authorization request from a merchant terminal of a merchant, the primary authorization request corresponding to use of a prepaid payment means of a user of the transaction service for a transaction with the merchant. Based on receiving the primary authorization request, the system can determine that an account balance of the prepaid payment means comprises inadequate funds to fulfill the transaction and automatically transmit a secondary authorization request to a financial entity associated with an account of the user. Upon receiving an approval of the secondary authorization request, the system can execute a transfer for a difference amount, based on an amount corresponding to the transaction, from the account of the user to an account associated with the merchant.
