  • Publication number: 20180330434
    Abstract: A method is proposed for providing a user with financial information. Financial data describing actual financial transactions made by a user is used to define a fictional scenario describing the financial situation of a character associated with at least one financial account. The fictional scenario is allowed to evolve, with input from the user to control actions taken by the character, and it is determined whether the final state of the fictional scenario complies with goal criteria. Thus, the user is presented with an enjoyable, partially fictionalized version of his or her own financial situation, and can learn appropriate behaviors to achieve financial goals. Advice may be generated to the user as to how to do this.

  • Publication number: 20180165678
    Abstract: Methods and systems for processing a payment transaction associated with a purchase made at a merchant are disclosed. The proposed disclosure involves an authorization engine component of an issuer system of a payment card receiving a payment authorization request message associated with the purchase from a payment network server, and generating an authorization response message indicative of an outcome of the payment authorization request for communication to the merchant's terminal. The issuer system has a response-generation engine component configured to identify supplementary data which has been pre-registered by the associated cardholder at the issuer system, and to include the supplementary data in the authorization response message so that the merchant's terminal may extract the supplementary data, and may use the extracted data to initiate another transaction, such as a loyalty transaction or digital-wallet payment transaction, which is related to the purchase.
