SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO MANAGE AND CONTROL USE OF A VIRTUAL CARD
First Claim
1. A system for sharing stored value, the system comprising:
- a virtual card manager, the virtual card manager configured to manage one or more shared virtual cards; and
a first computing device including a mass storage device holding a virtual card engine executable by a processor to manage a shared virtual card, the first computing device communicatively coupled to the virtual card manager via a network;
wherein a stored value of the shared virtual card is split between a first version and a second version, the first version receiving a first portion of the stored value and the second version receiving a second portion of the stored value, wherein the first version is available for use on the first computing device and the second version is available for use on a second computing device.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for creating and using versions of a shared virtual card. In one example, a system for sharing stored value is provided. The system may include a virtual card manager configured to manage one or more shared virtual cards and a first computing device including a virtual card engine executable by a processor to manage the shared virtual card. The first computing device may be communicatively coupled to the virtual card manager via a network. In the example, stored value of the shared virtual card may be split between a first version and a second version. The first version may receive a first portion of the stored value and the second version may receive a second portion of the stored value; the first version available for use on the first computing device and the second version available for use on a second computing device.

6. A method for sharing a virtual card, the method comprising:
-
at a first computing device; requesting to share the virtual card; and at a virtual card manager; receiving the request for sharing the virtual card; creating a first version and a second version of the virtual card; applying selected shared settings to the first version and the second version; delivering the first version to the first computing device; and delivering the second version to a second computing device. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)

10. A method for a virtual card manager to monitor use of versions of a shared value card, the method comprising:
-
receiving an access request to use stored value of a version of the shared value card for a transaction at a merchant; enabling use of the version after authentication of the shared virtual card according to a stored value account associated with the shared value card; retrieving a transaction history from a card service provider, wherein the transaction history includes information regarding use of the stored value account; comparing the transaction history from the card service provider and a transaction history from the virtual card manager; and identifying and tracking use of the version. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
