Abstract: A computer system receives credit information relating to a consumer and a number of high scorers, and determines credit score factors associated with the consumer and the high scorers. The system may construct flippable score factor displays comprising consumer specific information specific to a credit category that may be reversed to display explanatory text regarding how that credit category affects their credit report. The score factor display may include a comparison between the consumer's scores and the high scorers' scores in a number of categories. Scores of high scorers may be periodically refreshed. Additionally, the group of high scorers may be limited according to a particular demographic, such as a geographic location, that may be selectable by a user.

Access may be provided via an API to the third-party data site, along with access credentials of a user with data stored with the third-party data site, allowing the system to access data on behalf of the user.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods that apply artificial intelligence to augmented reality for enhanced user experience. A sensor, such as a camera, on a mobile phone can capture output data of a laptop computer or other computing device, such as a user interface. The captured image can be assessed by the mobile phone to determine an intent of a user and to display a three dimensional rendering, such as an avatar, on the mobile phone overlaid on top of the user interface of the laptop. The avatar can help navigate the user, such as pointing to areas of a webpage of interest, or inviting the user to scroll down on a webpage to a portion of the webpage that may not be in current view.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for generating alerts in association with a request to open an account for an individual. For example, information identifying an individual may be received from a financial entity in association with the financial entity receiving a request to open an account for the individual from a requesting entity. The requesting entity may be a vendor or service provider associated with the financial entity. An electronic notification may then be sent to the individual, which may include a selectable option to indicate that the individual does not authorize opening of the account. In response to receiving an indication that the individual does not authorize opening of the account, notifications may be sent to both the financial entity and the requesting entity indicating that the individual has not authorized opening of the account.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed that identify and locate debt settlement candidates based on credit data associated with the consumer. For example, candidacy may be based on a debt score, generated by an assessment of the consumer's credit data. Credit data may include the consumer's credit score rank, credit score, revolving credit to debit ratio, credit available, delinquent accounts, negative accounts, instances of negative information on their credit report, public record data, average account age, debit, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A digital identity, which may include a user interface that may be displayed on a mobile computing device, may be generated to include information extracted from a physical identification card (e.g., driver license or passport), as well as information regarding validation of the physical identification card and of the consumer's identity. The digital identity may be used in place of the physical identification card.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for assessing an account takeover risk for one or more accounts of an individual. The account security procedures for each of a number of services with which the user has an account may be analyzed. Publicly accessible information regarding the user may also be collected and analyzed. The collected information and security procedures may be compared in order to determine one or more vulnerabilities to hostile account takeover of one or more of the analyzed accounts. An alert may be generated regarding a determined takeover risk, which may include suggested actions for remedying the risk.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a computing system, such as a monitoring computer, receives a request from a user to monitor an account of the user with an online service provider. The request may include personal information and user preferences for one or more protective actions. The system periodically monitors external data sources for indications of changes to personal information associated with the account, and detects changes or attempted changes to personal information associated with the account. The system may determine risk levels associated with detected changes or attempted changes, and transmit a notification to the user via a communication channel selected based on the determined risk level and/or the user preferences. The system may also initiate protective actions, so that further unauthorized access to the account may be prevented.

Abstract: A method for providing pre-data breach monitoring provides information to businesses that is useful to predict portions of the company data that may not be secured well enough and other risks associated with data breaches, such as employees that may not be trustworthy.

Abstract: A score factor system that may generate a score factor user interface that displays summary credit information for a particular consumer in selected credit categories. The system constructs flippable score factor interfaces for such display that, when touched, may be reversed to display explanatory text on how the corresponding credit category affects their credit report.

Abstract: Certain consumers may not have a credit report and, thus, may not be able to enroll in a credit monitoring service. A credit report monitoring system requests a credit report of consumers that are attempting to enroll in a credit monitoring service. If no credit report is located for the consumer, a credit report of the consumer is automatically periodically requested by the system. When a credit report is later located, the consumer may continue with enrollment in a credit report monitoring service. In this way, the consumer is alerted of the (possibly fraudulent) creation of a credit report and is quickly able to enroll in a credit monitoring service.

Abstract: Consumers often desire to compare themselves to other individuals. Disclosed herein are systems and methods of generating and displaying comparison information to users so that they can determine if they are “keeping up with the Joneses.

Abstract: Methods and systems of monitoring and reporting of changes to a user's credit data are provided. One embodiment includes providing a service, hosted by a data server, that allows the user to access the service via a communication terminal. The service may also request enrollment data, including identity verification data, from the user. Further, the service may periodically access and monitor the user's credit data for a change in the user's credit data via a connection between the data server and a credit bureau even if the data server has not received sufficient identity verification data from the user. Additionally, the service may determine whether a change detected in the user's credit data is a significant event. When an event or a significant event in the user's credit data is detected, the service may alert the user of the fact that an event has occurred even if the data server has not received sufficient identity verification data from the user.

Abstract: A data processing system communicates with a secure third-party database to obtain information about a user that is usable to determine one or more items associated with the user. The system then coordinates gathering and identification of additional data relevant to the user from other third-party data sources, to potentially update the user's information stored with the secure third-party database. The updated information may then be accessed at the secure third-party database to determine items associated with the user, which may include additional items in view of the additional data.

Abstract: A card registry system is configured to automatically identify financial card information in one or more credit files associated with a consumer and populate a card registry account of the consumer with the identified financial card information. Once the financial card information has been obtained from the credit file(s), the card registry system may transmit cancellation and/or reissuance requests to the respective card issuers in the instance that one or more cards are compromised, so that the financial cards may be easily and efficiently cancelled and/or reissued at the request of the consumer.
