Abstract
Systems and methods for selecting a form for crediting a payee by a payment service provider include receiving a request to pay a payee on behalf of a payer. A form for crediting the payee is selected based on at least one of a comparison of a payer account number associated with the payer and the payee to a merchant account scheme associated with the payee or a comparison of a payment amount associated with the received request to a merchant credit limit associated with the payee. A payment is directed to the payee in accordance with the selected form for crediting.
