Abstract:
Merchants provide incentives for customer transactions on accounts issued to them by issuers. Incentives include a merchant making a donation to entities with whom the merchants and/or the consumers have an affinity such as residence in the community. Each merchant can define the donation to be percentage of the transaction amount. Cryptographically secure chains are provided for uniquely labeling each such transaction and each such donation by way of incorporating role-based digital wallets and multiple synchronized transactional blockchains. Where the donations are used to purchase an Internet-of-Things (IOT) enabled system, real and/or near-real time usage information can be received and transmitted to the logical addresses of the customers and or the merchants so as to confirm efficacy of the donations.
