Abstract: A system and method processes a transaction between a merchant and a consumer. Data indicate of the security of a digital processing device being used by the consumer to carry out the transaction with the merchant is received. A determination as to whether the digital processing device is secure is made using the received data. In response to determining the digital processing device is insecure, the transaction is aborted. In response to determining the digital processing device is in secure, the transaction is processed by at least one of authenticating the consumer, authorizing the transaction using a payment processing supply chain, and capturing funds for the transaction using a payment processing supply chain.

Abstract: A computing system may receive a verification of benefits (VoB) request that identifies a subscriber and a healthcare provider that submitted the VoB request. The VoB request may comprise a request for the computing system to verify that a health insurance policy of the subscriber is active. In response to determining that the health insurance policy of the identified subscriber is active, the computing system may determine whether to send a subscriber alert to the subscriber. The subscriber alert may notify the subscriber that the healthcare provider has been requested to perform a healthcare action for the subscriber in the future as of a time the healthcare provider submitted the VoB request. Based on a determination to send the subscriber alert, the computing system may initiate a process to send the subscriber alert.

Abstract: A shared ledger operated by a group of network participants according to a set of consensus rules manages and resolves subrogation claims between a clamant and a defendant. Evidence regarding the value of the subrogation claim is sent to the shared ledger by entities involved in the claim such as sending to a smart contract deployed on the shared ledger. The parties to the subrogation claim may supplement evidence and settlement proposals on the blockchain by broadcasting a transaction or sending data to the smart contract. Once the claim is resolved, the parties may settle the subrogation payment off-chain or may transact a token having value on the chain. A subrogation smart contract may be programmed to release funds under certain conditions including holding a bond by a claimant and/or upon final resolution of the subrogation claim.

Abstract: A method for selecting consumers for targeted messages is described, the method comprising the steps of generating a token for representing a payment card number, and storing in a token table, an association of a wallet service provider ID, a digital wallet ID, the payment card number and the token. The method further comprises the steps of analyzing transaction data in a transaction table, the transaction data comprising transactions, and determining that the token is inactive when at least one of a set of predetermined conditions is satisfied. The method further comprises the steps of identifying the digital wallet ID and the wallet service provider ID that is associated with the inactive token and providing the identified digital wallet ID to a digital wallet service provider server having the identified wallet service provider ID, the identified digital wallet ID associated with the consumer to be selected for targeted messages.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system for trading using a central counterparty which allows market participants to minimize risk and/or transactional fees associated with a portfolio of bilateral positions without substantially altering a risk profile thereof. In particular, the disclosed embodiments allow a market participant holding a portfolio of heterogeneous bilateral positions, such as positions in interest rate swap (“IRS”) contracts, to net together similar but not identical positions within their portfolio, thereby reducing margin requirements and/or transaction fees, according to criteria specified by the market participant, and which may be different from criteria specified by other market participants, wherein the overall risk exposure desired by the market participant in entering into the positions remains substantially unchanged as does the desired overall risk exposure of the counterparty market participants to those positions.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for verifying the possession of a card, such as a credit card or a debit card, by a card user. Possession of the card can be verified, for example, when a purchase transaction, such as a telephone purchase transaction or an online purchase transaction, is attempted with the card and the purchase transaction is denied due to suspected account take over. Possession of the card can be verified by detecting the present of the card with a mobile device of the user, such as a smart phone. For example, possession of the card can be verified by near field communication (NFC) between the card and the mobile device, wherein the communication is sufficient to adequately determine the presence of the card.

Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing order placement in an electronic trading environment are provided. Global queue holder orders are placed in a tradeable object to reserve quantity for traders. Traders may submit order requests for quantity at price levels at which a global queue holder order is holding quantity. When a trader submits an order for a quantity at a price level at which quantity is being held, a gateway compares the order to the global queue holder order information stored in a database. If the trader's order coincides with a price level at which quantity is held, then the gateway virtually transfers ownership of that quantity to the trader, who then assumes the advantageous queue position. When the quantity associated with the order is filled, the fill information is sent to the gateway, which to the database to determine which trader is associated with the filled order quantity.

Abstract: The disclosure herein describes handling tokenization requests associated with electronic transactions at a payment network at a throttled processing rate. Tokenization requests are received by tokenization stream brokers from request sources. The tokenization requests include primary account numbers (PANs) to be tokenized. The tokenization requests are then consumed from the tokenization stream brokers, at a request storage rate, for storage in a request data store. Tokenization operations are then performed, at a request processing rate, based on the tokenization requests stored in the request data store. The tokenization operations include providing at least the primary account numbers to be tokenized to issuers associated with the tokenization requests at issuer tokenization rates associated with the issuers, whereby the request processing rate is throttled for compatibility with capabilities of the system and the issuers without unnecessary limitations placed on request sources.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention provides for making electronic payments by scanning a merchant 2D code located near the point of sale with the customer's cell phone and transmitting the code or data embodied by the code to a payment center where the merchant's account can be credited and the customer's account debited without transmitting account information over the airwaves. In another embodiment of the invention, both parties transmit the same randomly generated 2D code or data embodied by the code to the payment center where they are matched to each other and to the buyer and seller to process the transaction. In a further embodiment of the invention, an inked tattoo or barcode marking is employed as a password to authorize access to smartphone applications for example, to make an electronic payment over a threshold amount.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward systems and methods for using vehicle telematics information to compensate individuals for increases in fuel prices above a guaranteed fuel price. The approaches described herein compensate the individuals based on the difference between a guaranteed fuel price and a comparison fuel price for a coverage period, the distance traveled during the coverage period, and the estimated fuel economy of the vehicle type. A baseline fuel price is determined and used to set a guaranteed price for a coverage period. During the coverage period, a telematics device collects telematics information associated with trips taken in a vehicle. That telematics information is then stored at a data store and used to compensate an individual associated with the vehicle when fuel prices rise during the coverage period to exceed the guaranteed fuel price.
