Abstract: A method for processing cash-withdrawal transactions is provided. When available cash at a terminal device is less than a first amount that a user wants to withdraw, the terminal device presents a first option to the user to receive a first part of the first amount, which the terminal device is falling short of, as a voucher or a credit in a digital wallet. When the first option is selected, the terminal device displays a list of digital wallets and vouchers to the user. The terminal device communicates a first request to the payment network indicating a selection of the first option and one of a voucher or a digital wallet. Based on the first request, the payment network initiates crediting of the first part in the digital wallet or procuring of the voucher, with the terminal device dispensing the remaining part of the first amount as cash.

Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating a transaction between a cardholder, registered with a first payment entity, and a second payment entity other than the first payment entity in cases when the second payment entity promotes an offer which the cardholder wants to avail. The method includes receiving a first service request from a user at a server system associated with the first payment entity. The first service request is a request to avail the offer using a first payment card of the user. The method further includes facilitating authentication of the first service request at the first payment entity. Upon successful authentication, the method includes sending a second service request to second payment entity and receiving approval from the second payment entity for availing the offer. The method further includes receiving a second payment card from second issuing entity, where the second payment card is eligible for availing the offer.

Abstract: A method for may include receiving, at a recommendation engine, a first indication to create a first sourcing event that includes a first object and a second object. The recommendation engine may respond to the first indication by updating a learning model to increment a first frequency of the first object being included in a sourcing event, a second frequency of the second object being included in a sourcing event, and/or a third frequency of the first object and the second object being included simultaneously in a sourcing event. The recommendation engine may receive a second indication to create a second sourcing event. In response to the second indication, the recommendation engine may apply the learning model to generate a recommendation to add, to the second sourcing event, the first object instead of the second object. Related systems and articles of manufacture are also provided.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a first payload in a first electronic communication is received, the first payload containing localization information regarding a first node in a taxonomy of objects, categories, and characteristics. The first payload is parsed to identify one or more dependencies. For each of the one or more dependencies, a dummy node in the taxonomy corresponding to the dependency is created, the dummy node containing information about the dependency from the first payload. A search mechanism is provided to a graphical user interface, the search mechanism designed to receive user interactions from a user and cause one or more hardware processors to retrieve and cause display of information in one or more of the dummy nodes in the taxonomy.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a request is received, via a graphical user interface, to add a new object to a directory of objects, the new object having a first category in a hierarchical taxonomy of categories and objects. Then one or more questions previously assigned to the first category and/or one or more existing objects within the first category are retrieved. Each of the retrieved one or more questions and information about the new object are then fed into a first machine learned model trained to output a probability that a question is applicable to an object. One or more questions are generated for the new object based on the probability for each of the retrieved one or more questions. At least one of the one or more generated questions is then assigned to the new object.

Abstract: A method for processing declined transactions is provided. A transaction decline notification for a transaction performed by a user is received in response to a first authorization request that is communicated to an issuer server. If a credit score of the user is greater than or equal to a threshold value, a data element of the first authorization request, indicating a transaction amount of the transaction, is modified to generate a second authorization request. The modified data element indicates a first amount that is lower than the transaction amount. The second authorization request is communicated to the issuer server and a transaction approval notification is received in response to the second authorization request. The transaction approval notification overrides the transaction decline notification and indicates that the transaction is approved by the issuer server, thereby making the transaction successful.

Abstract: A server for an authorization amount shown in a transaction request over a plurality of payments using an account, where the authorization amount exceeds a limit determined for the account, is configured to receive a request to update the authorization amount with a transaction amount, the request indicating account details corresponding to the account, the authorization amount and the transaction amount to be paid in one of the plurality of payments; retrieve, from a predetermined database, a score representing a credibility of a user using the account in response to receiving the request; compare the retrieved score with a threshold to determine whether or not the retrieved score is equal to or higher than the threshold; and approve the request to update the authorization amount in the transaction request if it is determined that the retrieved score is equal to or higher than the threshold.
