Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for processing a payment request. A mobile device associated with a payor may generate a user interface having two screen portions. The first screen portion may be configured to display received and sent messages and further configured to receive a command to transmit a message. The second screen portion may be configured to access a third-party application and configured to populate a new message with a payload. The mobile device may receive an inputted amount in the second screen portion representing the payment amount. The mobile device may transmit a request including the payor's identification and the payment amount to a third-party Payment Processing System (PPS) and receive a payload from the PPS. The mobile device may populate and transmit a message to the recipient that contains the payload.
