displaying, by an electronic device, at least one selectable option via a display of the electronic device, the at least one selectable option comprising a selectable option to fetch funds, the electronic device comprising at least one of a Point-of-Sale (POS) terminal or a kiosk device;
receiving, by the electronic device, a selection of the selectable option to fetch funds and a personal identification number (PIN) associated with a payment instrument from a merchant, wherein the payment instrument is used at the electronic device by the merchant for transfer of a payment from a merchant account into an account associated with the payment instrument;
generating, by the electronic device, a transaction request to transfer the payment from the merchant account into the account associated with the payment instrument in response to verifying the PIN associated with the payment instrument, the transaction request comprising at least one unique identifier field comprising an indication that the transaction request is for transferring the payment into the account associated with the payment instrument during a first funding period, wherein the first funding period is earlier than a second funding period, wherein the first funding period is associated with a first merchant discount rate, and wherein the second funding period is associated with a second merchant discount rate that is lower than the first merchant discount rate;
receiving, by an acquirer server from the electronic device, the transaction request to transfer the payment into the account associated with the payment instrument, the payment comprising a first portion of an amount available in the merchant account, wherein the first portion is related to the first merchant discount rate and the first funding period;
authorizing, by the acquirer server, the transaction request received from the electronic device based on one or more predetermined rules;
generating, by the acquirer server, a direct fund transfer message based on the at least one unique identifier field upon authorization of the transaction request;
modifying, by the acquirer server, the at least one unique identifier field of the direct fund transfer message to include a special indicator, the special indicator comprising the first merchant discount rate;
transmitting, by the acquirer server, the direct fund transfer message including the special indicator to an issuer server associated with the merchant account for authentication of the direct fund transfer message;
in response to receiving and authenticating the direct fund transfer message including the special indicator, requesting, by the issuer server, an approval from the acquirer server;
confirming, by the acquirer server, a future settlement amount corresponding to the payment is available in the merchant account based on the direct fund transfer message including the special indicator;
in response to confirming the future settlement amount is available in the merchant account, communicating, by the acquirer server, an approval to the issuer server;
after receiving the approval, authenticating, by the issuer server, the direct fund transfer message including the special indicator; and
transferring dynamically, by the issuer server or the merchant, the payment from the merchant account to the account associated with the payment instrument within the first funding period in response to the direct fund transfer message including the special indicator comprising the first merchant discount rate being authenticated by the issuer server, wherein a second portion of the amount available in the merchant account is transferred during the second funding period, and wherein the second portion of the amount is related to the second merchant discount rate and the second funding period.
