  • Patent number: 11907945
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented processes that determine, in real time, counterparty geolocation location based on structured messaging data, such as messaging data maintained within message fields of a request-for-payment (RFP) message compliant with the ISO 20022. For example, an apparatus may receive a RFP message that includes message data associated with a transaction involving first and second counterparties, and the RFP message may characterize a real-time payment requested from the second counterparty by the first counterparty. The apparatus may determine a geographic position of the first counterparty based the message data, and based on the first geographic position, transmit notification data to a device operable by the second counterparty. The notification data may cause the device to present digital content associated with at least one of the transaction, the first counterparty, or the second counterparty within a digital interface.

  • Publication number: 20240004548
    Abstract: Systems and methods of determining whether to initiate a pull of an accumulated data transfer amount are described. An accumulated data transfer amount for a periodic data transfer scheduled to be pushed at a future date is determined. A determination is made of whether an overall data amount in a storage location is expected to be greater at a date on or after the scheduled future date if a pull of the accumulated data transfer amount is performed before the scheduled future date than if a pull operation is not performed and the accumulated data transfer amount is sent at the scheduled future date. When the overall data amount in the storage location is expected to be greater at the scheduled future date if the pull of the accumulated data transfer amount is performed, a pull of the accumulated data transfer amount is initiated.

  • Publication number: 20230394452
    Abstract: Configuring data transfers based on electronic messages. A system includes a communication module, a processor, and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, configure the processor to: receive, from a client device, an authentication credential and associate the authentication credential with a client record. The processor identifies, based on delegated access to query a message account at a message server, a resource request message associated with the message account using a defined criteria. The processor obtains, based on the resource request message, a resource parameter to define a proposed resource transfer to a recipient entity. The processor generates and transmits, to the client device, a transfer request alert based on the proposed resource transfer for display at the client device. In response to receiving, from the client device, a selection of a selectable option, the processor allocates a resource to the recipient entity.

  • Publication number: 20230055605
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented systems and processes that generate and provision targeted, criteria-specific digital content based on structured messaging data. For example, an apparatus may receive a message associated with a real-time payment requested from a first counterparty by a second counterparty, and the message includes elements of message data characterizing an exchange of data initiated between the first and second counterparties. The apparatus may determine a value of a first parameter of the initiated data exchange based on the elements of message data, and based on a determined inconsistency between the first parameter value and an execution criterion, the apparatus may transmit a notification that includes product data characterizing an available product to a device operable by the first counterparty for presentation within a digital interface.
