  • Patent number: 11968162
    Abstract: A message is monitored to determine whether a response is required based on message compliance regulations. The monitoring of the message comprises automatically identifying one or more parts of the message that are not relevant to the monitoring of the message based on the message compliance regulations; automatically excluding the one or more parts of the message that are not relevant from the monitoring of the message based on the message compliance regulations; identifying content in a part of the message that is not excluded from the monitoring of the message that can indicate that a response is required based on the message compliance regulations. When the content that can indicate that a response is required based on the message compliance regulations is discovered in the part of the message that is not excluded from the monitoring of the message, the message is automatically designated for further analysis.

  • Patent number: 11966930
    Abstract: Risk associated with end-user computing tools can be discovered automatically. Machine learning and other approaches can be employed to automate discovery of risk associated with end-user computing tools. In one instance, a machine learning model can be constructed and fine-tuned through training that can classify end-user computing tools in terms of risk. The risk can be of a particular type, such as financial or reputational risk, and extent, such as high or low. In another instance, end-user computing tools can be subject to automatic clustering and subsequent risk assessment. Mitigation action can be performed to reduce risk associated with high-risk end-user computing tools.

  • Publication number: 20240126921
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing a central location to manage permissions provided to third-parties and devices to access and use user data and to manage accounts at multiple entities. A central portal may allow a user to manage all access to account data and personal information as well as usability and functionality of accounts. The user need not log into multiple third-party systems or customer devices to manage previously provided access to the information, provision new access to the information, and to manage financial or other accounts. A user is able to have user data and third-party accounts of the user deleted from devices, applications, and third-party systems via a central portal.

  • Publication number: 20240127208
    Abstract: An automated teller machine (ATM) allows a user with accounts at both a first institution and a second institution to use an ATM of the first institution to physically place cash or a check into the ATM of the first institution for deposit into an account at the second institution. In some cases, a failed attempt message may indicate a funds transfer failed due to a network connectivity issue, an inactive payee account, or an expired payee account number. In case of a network connectivity issue, the funds transfer may be reinitiated. In case of an inactive payee account or expired payee account number, funds may be transferred to the first account instead of the second account. The ATM may display an indication of the failed attempt and a confirmation of a transfer to the first account.

  • Publication number: 20240127494
    Abstract: Disclosed is an approach for generating interactive visualizations for multi-nodal transfers that may involve terminal nodes and multiple transitional nodes by using various protocols to acquire data from computing systems or devices associated with each node. A first visualization layer comprising a set of geographic or physical indicators in a multi-nodal transfer route (which comprises a set of three or more nodes) may be generated. API protocols (and/or non-API protocols) corresponding to each node in the transfer route may be identified. The protocols may be executed to obtain, from computing systems and devices associated with the nodes, data packets used to generate a second visualization layer, which may comprise graphics that visually depict details of a transfer along the transfer route. An overlay of visualization layers may be displayed such that the graphics are displayed in association with multiple nodes.
