1. A method, comprising:

  • receiving, at a computing device, a first transaction information for a first transaction, wherein the first transaction information includes a first verification method and a first token value associated with a first account serving as a payment account for the first transaction, wherein the first token value is a substitute for a first primary account number of the first account and includes a first token issuer identifier;

    identifying, by the computing device based upon the first token issuer identifier, a first entry of a plurality of entries of a token translation table comprising a plurality of token issuer identifiers, each token issuer identifier associated with multiple payment processing networks, and each payment processing network associated with one or more verification methods, wherein the first entry is associated with the first token issuer identifier and identifies a plurality of payment processing networks that are eligible to process transactions associated with the first token issuer identifier;

    selecting, by the computing device, a first payment processing network of the plurality of payment processing networks to process the first transaction based at least in part upon the first token issuer identifier and the first verification method;

    transmitting, by the computing device, the first transaction information to the selected first payment processing network, wherein the first payment processing network de-tokenizes the first token value to obtain the first primary account number, and transmits a first payment authorization request message including the first primary account number to a first issuer for authorization;

    updating, by the computing device, the token issuer identifiers in the token translation table with updated token issuer identifiers without altering the multiple payment processing networks and their associated verification methods in the token translation table to form an updated token translation table;

    receiving, at the computing device, a second transaction information for a second transaction, wherein the second transaction information includes a second verification method different than the first verification method and a first updated token value associated with the first account, wherein the first updated token value includes a first updated token issuer identifier;

    identifying, by the computing device based upon the second verification method and the first updated token issuer identifier, a first entry of the updated token translation table;

    selecting, by the computing device, a second payment processing network of the plurality of payment processing networks identified by the first entry of the updated token translation table, wherein the second payment processing network is different than the first payment processing network selected for the first transaction; and

    transmitting, by the computing device, the second transaction information to the second payment processing network, wherein the second payment processing network de-tokenizes the first updated token value to obtain the first primary account number, and transmits a second payment authorization request message including the first primary account number to the first issuer for authorization.
