Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for enrolling a user in a membership account. A payment processing request is received from a point of sale device associated with a merchant. The payment processing request includes an account number associated with a user. Based on the account number, a user account associated with the user is retrieved, where the user account includes address information for communicating with a computing device that is associated with the user. Computer-readable instructions are transmitted to the computing device based on the address information, the computer-readable instructions causing the computing device to prompt the user to enroll in a membership account associated with the merchant. A response is received from the computing device indicating consent from the user to enroll in the membership account. Based on the response, an enrollment request is transmitted to the merchant, where the enrollment request includes user information from the user account.
