Abstract
To facilitate management of a universal payment account, it is determined whether a transaction occurs. Transaction information is received from a payment systems module if the transaction occurs, wherein the transaction information comprises a universal payment identifier associated with a universal payment account. A processor determines at least one payment rule based at least in part on the universal payment identifier, and the processor determines a financial account associated with the universal payment account based upon the at least one payment rule. The plurality of financial accounts are associated with the universal payment account and the determined financial account is used to process the transaction. The determined financial account is accessed to facilitate processing of the transaction.
