Abstract

Systems and methods for associating a proxy card with an electronic wallet are disclosed. A computer implemented method may include receiving an authentication information of a proxy card, and associating the proxy card with an electronic wallet, wherein associating the proxy card with the electronic wallet allows secure access to the electronic wallet when the proxy card is presented at a point of sale. A system may include a proxy card comprising authentication information, and an electronic wallet associated with the proxy card, wherein the association of the electronic wallet with the proxy card allows secure access to the electronic wallet when the proxy card is presented at a point of sale. A wallet redemption card may comprise a rewriteable magnetic stripe, a smart chip, a wireless communicator operably connected to the smart chip, and an interface operably connected between the rewriteable magnetic stripe and the smart chip.
