  • Patent number: 11935062
    Abstract: A system for generating a fraud risk score for a third party provider (TPP) transaction. The system includes a server including an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to determine a frequency-recency-monetary value feature, a reputation feature, and a rule feature for a TPP transaction, using the frequency-recency-monetary value feature, the reputation feature, and the rule feature as input for a machine learning model, execute the machine learning model to generate a blended score, and, when the blended score is above a second predetermined threshold, determine that the TPP transaction is fraudulent.

  • Publication number: 20210081949
    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and computer readable media for determining whether a transaction was initiated by a known user. Known users can be identified using a known user identification linear regression algorithm. The known user identification algorithm incorporates a variety of features of an initiated transaction, as well as reputation and historical data associated with an account or user, to produce a prediction value that indicates whether a user is a known user or whether there is a high potential for fraud. If the prediction value that results from the known user identification algorithm is greater than or equal to the threshold value, a fraud rule is triggered (i.e., predicted fraud). If the prediction value that results from the known user identification algorithm is less than the threshold value, the user who initiated the transaction is identified as a known user and the transaction is permitted to proceed (i.e., predicted non-fraud).
