  • Patent number: 10445825
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a separate interest rate for an individual transaction are disclosed. A system may provide a service associated with a account having an account balance and an associated first interest rate. The system may include a service device having one or more memory devices storing instructions and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform a separate interest rate service process. The process may include providing a separate interest rate service offer to a client device and receiving a separate interest rate selection from the client device. The process may also include determining a selected portion of the account balance corresponding to an amount to which a second interest rate, different from the first interest rate, is to be applied based on the separate interest rate selection.

  • Patent number: 10430793
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a computer-implemented fraud method and system for managing fraud screening in response to a requested transaction. The fraud management system checks the efficiency of the fraud screening strategy and predicts the efficiency of new fraud screening strategies based on the total cost of fraud. This calculation is facilitated, because transactions are divided into groups, and the total cost of fraud may be calculated for a representative element of the group, and not for each transaction in the group. Furthermore, if the fraud screening is based on rules that apply an acceptance flow to predetermined conditions, the fraud management can choose the best acceptance flow for these predetermined conditions by minimizing the total cost of fraud. Finally, the fraud management can also flag inefficient rules thanks to an indicator related to the total cost of fraud to highlight rules whose predetermined conditions should be changed.

  • Patent number: 10402821
    Abstract: In various example embodiments, a machine is configured to redirect completion of a transaction to a trusted device. For example, the machine determines that a page involving the transaction is being displayed in a user interface of a first device. The page may be associated with the product or service. The machine identifies an interruption of the displaying of the page in the user interface of the first device. The machine identifies a second device that is trusted by the user. The machine transmits a communication including a notification to the second device. The notification indicates the transaction.

  • Patent number: 10402913
    Abstract: A hybrid response mechanism for processing queries submitted through an interview screen of a tax preparation application. User submits query through search field of interview screen generated by tax preparation application. Response engine accesses runtime data of electronic tax return stored in data store and generates hybrid response including runtime data and an action. Hybrid response data may be alpha/numerical runtime data or data identifying runtime data and identifying or including a link to an action, e.g., a form to be completed or revised, or to prepare a new form. The hybrid search result can also include a result (such as reference materials, e.g., information about tax topics or an answer provided by an on-line community member) generated by an external computing resource such as an online community for the tax preparation application also processing the query but that is not included in the electronic tax return being prepared.

  • Patent number: 10395241
    Abstract: Method to generate onboarding flow for application starts with on-boarding server receiving request from electronic device to activate application. On-boarding server determines whether request is initial request. Request is determined to be initial request when minimal set of information associated with user is not stored in on-boarding server. When request is determined to be initial request, on-boarding server signals to electronic device to display request for minimal set of information associated with user which includes at least one of: user identification, legal name, phone number, or email address. Minimal set of information associated with user is then received and stored in on-boarding server. On-boarding server signals to allow initial access to application. Signaling to allow initial access includes signaling that user requires access to payment processing hardware to process user's physical payment instrument.

  • Patent number: 10387881
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for resolving a data transaction is provided in which a data transaction request and a counter data transaction request are received asynchronously in time by a data transaction processing system. A data transaction request includes data indicative of the data transaction and a transaction identifier but does not include account identifying information associated with the sender of the counter data transaction request. A counter data transaction request including data indicative of the data transaction and the transaction identifier is received. If a data transaction request has a transaction identifier identical to a previously received transaction identifier of a counter data transaction request, the data transaction is resolved, and a confirmation message is transmitted. If no identical transaction identifier has been received, the received data transaction request or the received counter data transaction request is stored in a transaction message database.

  • Patent number: 10380589
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for resolving a data transaction is provided in which data transactions are resolved by a hardware matching processor that identifies data transaction requests received from client devices over a data communication network, matches incoming transaction requests with previously received transaction requests, and, based thereon, transmits electronic data transaction results messages to the client device. An incoming data transaction request is received and a match is attempted with one or more previously received but not yet resolved data transaction requests. It is identified whether either the incoming data transaction request or the matching data transaction request are dependent on the resolution of another data transaction request and whether that dependent data transaction request has been resolved. The data transaction requests are resolved and/or stored based on the match and resolution of dependencies.

  • Patent number: 10360561
    Abstract: The present systems and methods provide for secured communication between a mobile device and a server/gateway. The systems and methods can be used, for example, as a way to confirm whether or not a transaction was actually authorized by the user, thereby settling a chargeback dispute for a previously executed transaction. The method comprises receiving the dispute regarding the transaction including associated transaction data, and retrieving a digital signature associated with the transaction data, the digital signature computed by signing the transaction data. The digital signature is then verified using a public key, wherein the public key corresponds to a private key stored on a mobile device. It is then determined whether or not the transaction is fraudulent based on a verification result of the digital signature.

  • Patent number: 10339527
    Abstract: Embodiments of an electronic fraud analysis platform system are disclosed which may be used to analyze tax returns for potential fraud. Analysis of tax return data using the tax return analysis platform computing systems and methods discussed herein may provide insight into whether a tax return may be fraudulent based on, for example, an initial screening component configured to filter tax returns which appear fraudulent due to missing or inaccurate information provided with the return; a device activity analysis component configured to identify whether a device used to submit a tax return or to provide further authentication information needed to complete processing of the return may have been used in other fraudulent activities; and a knowledge-based authentication component configured to identify potential fraudsters using dynamically generated questions for which fraudsters typically do not know the answers.
