  • Publication number: 20160210633
    Abstract: Techniques from the proposed invention relate to implementing fraud detection techniques utilizing reasonable travel time values from transactional data. Reasonable travel time (RTT) values can be generated based upon historical transaction data. A time between a pending transaction at a second location and a previous transaction at a first location, for the same account, can be compared to an RTT value associated with the first and second locations. When the time is significantly less than the RTT value, it may be determined that the likelihood of fraud for the pending transaction is substantially higher than if the RTT value is close to the RTT value or significantly exceeds the RTT value.
