Abstract

A computer-implemented method includes authorizing a transaction received from a third party device that is associated with a customer account stored in a customer database, and generating a transaction identifier associated with the transaction and a temporary email address. The method also includes mapping the temporary email address to a customer email address in the customer database, communicating the temporary email address to the third party device, and receiving transaction data via the temporary email address. Additionally, the method includes initiating an automatic transfer of funds, automatically forwarding the transaction data to the customer email address, and monitoring a certain amount of time that the transaction identifier is valid after the transaction is completed. The method further includes determining that the certain amount of time has passed and that the transaction identifier has expired, recycling the expired transaction identifier, and using the recycled transaction identifier at a later time.
