Abstract
A payment service system receives an indication of an interaction between a payee device associated with a payee and an interactive element of a transfer instrument. The payment service system determines, based on an identifier received in association with the indication, a user account of the payee associated with the payment service. The payment service system determines, based on context data associated with the indication, an allocation of one or more asset types. The payment service system facilitates a transfer of one or more transfer amounts of the one or more asset types to the user account of the payee based on the allocation. The one or more transfer amounts are based on an amount of at least one asset type indicated by the transfer instrument. In some examples, the payment service system generates the interactive element and the transfer instrument in response to a request from the payor.
