In some embodiments, the term “user identifier” refers to a unique identifier for a user involved in a value-based exchange. A user identifier may include a sequence of numeric, alpha-numeric, any/or any other characters or symbols that are representative of a user of the exchange platform and/or member platform. In some examples, a user identifier may include a user reference, a user key, a system user identifier, a member user identifier, and/or the like.
In some embodiments, the term “system user identifier” refers to a unique identifier for representing a user within an exchange platform. The system user identifier, for example, may include a sequence of numeric, alpha-numeric, any/or any other characters or symbols that represent a user to an exchange platform. In some examples, the system user identifier may include a UUID specific to a particular user.
In some embodiments, the term “member user identifier” refers to a unique identifier for representing a user within a member platform. The member user identifier, for example, may include a sequence of numeric, alpha-numeric, any/or any other characters or symbols that represent a user to a service provider platform.
In some embodiments, the term “user reference” refers to a unique identifier for referencing a member user identifier. The user reference, for example, may be generated and/or provided by a member platform to an exchange platform to allow the exchange platform to reference a user associated with the member platform. In some examples, the user reference is the same value as the member user identifier. In some examples, the user reference is a different value that is mapped to the member user identifier.
