Abstract

Systems and methods implementing a communication protocol for the authorization of transfer of resources in a computer system having a plurality of computers, including a centralized router connecting to source account controllers and destination account controllers that are connected to readers. A reader communicates a first authorization request having a source identifier to a portal coupled with a data storage storing data linking the source identifier to a linked identifier. The portal communicates with a respective linked account controller to obtain a response identifying an available resource. Based on the response, the reader generates a further authorization request for a requested resource from a source account identified by the source identifier to a destination account associated with the reader.
