Abstract
A payment instrument may be borrowed by a designated lendee and used to complete a financial transaction when made accessible by a lender via a lender's account. The lender may restrict use of the payment instrument by the lendee, such as by restricting a duration of use, setting purchase limits, etc. In various aspects, the lender may loan the payment instrument to the lendee without providing a physical card, actual card number, or other personal information. In some aspects, the lendee may be presented with an option to use a borrowed payment instrument when completing a purchase using payment information that is linked to the lender. The lendee may perform a validation process to confirm his/her identity and complete a purchase. In some aspects, the lender may require an authorization before the payment is finalized, which may enable the lender to terminate a payment request.
