A credential that belongs to your payment architecture.
A Universal Token is a secure digital reference that stands in for a customer's card number. The reference is held and managed by the Juno platform, so the credential belongs to the payment architecture rather than to one provider integration.
| Provider-specific credential | Juno Universal Token | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the credential lives | Inside a single provider's environment | In the Juno platform |
| What it is scoped to | That provider's integration | The Juno platform layer, across supported providers |
| What a provider change involves | The credential's scope is bound to that provider | The credential remains at the platform layer |
Universal Token provides a common credential layer across supported Juno payment workflows, working with the payment providers Juno supports rather than with every provider in the market.

The credential layer of the Juno platform.
Applications connect to Juno; Juno holds the credential; supported payment providers process the payment; the card networks authorise it. Universal Token is the layer that keeps the credential constant while everything downstream can change.
- AcquiringWhere the payment is accepted and settled.
- SettlementHow funds arrive and are accounted for.
- ReconciliationHow each transaction is matched back to a payout.
- PortalWhere estates see and manage payment activity.
- IntelligenceHow payment data becomes reporting and insight.
- Universal TokenThe credential layer these capabilities share, held in the Juno platform.
Virtual card (VCC) processing in supported Juno workflows.
A large share of hospitality revenue arrives as a virtual card. When a guest books through an online travel agency such as Expedia, the agency issues a single-use virtual card number that the hotel charges for the stay. Those credentials have to be captured, stored securely and presented again when a booking is amended, extended or settled in stages.
Juno Universal Token holds that virtual card credential as a platform-held reference and presents it through supported Juno payment workflows, so the payment is repeatable without exposing the underlying card details within the payment workflow.
