- receiving an account identifier from a user in response to a user device interacting with a merchant device of the merchant;
authenticating the user based on the account identifier by;
(i) transmitting the account identifier to a payment card issuer device via a payment network, the payment card issuer device comprising a network communication device, a processor, and data storage; and
(ii) receiving identity verification information associated with the account identifier from the payment card issuer via the payment network, the identity verification information being retrieved from the data storage of the payment card issuer device; and
transmitting a network packet comprising the identity verification information to the merchant device,wherein the received identity verification information comprises an indicator which is based at least in part on a verification date of the identity verification information associated with the user, andwherein the data storage of the payment card issuer device comprises defined verification time range requirements of a plurality of merchants, and the indicator indicates whether the verification date of the identity verification information of the user meets the verification time range requirements of the merchant.
