Payment Pathways, Inc. is a financial services company based in Chicago, Illinois, focusing on software and services that support an online Identity Trust Framework resource called Greenlist. Greenlist serves as a registry for publicly discoverable ePayment addresses, with mechanisms to provision, mask, or filter payment addresses so they can receive deposits while remaining discoverable only through appropriate channels, thereby enhancing consumer privacy and payment system security. The company positions itself as a provider that licenses authoritative parties to operate Greenlist registries, accredits identity attribute providers, and recruits banks and their ecommerce customers to use the public ePayment address system to streamline payments and reduce risk. The concept aligns with identity management and access control principles intended to minimize data exposure, offering banks the potential to introduce faster, platform-agnostic transfer capabilities for customers and partners. A recent development notes ongoing pilots that apply these registries to support attribute-based access control in a privacy-conscious, secure payments ecosystem.
