Abstract: A method for displaying data on a computing device having a graphical user interface is disclosed. A selection of a merchant is received from a user via a user selection button displayed on the graphical user interface. A peer group for the merchant is determined. The peer group is comprised of one or more peer merchants that are in the same industry as the merchant. A first dataset having one or more merchant variables for the merchant is received. A second dataset having one or more peer variables for the peer group is received. The first dataset is analyzed to determine if one or more anomalies are present in the first data set. If one or more anomalies are present, the anomalies are removed. The one or more merchant variables and the one or more peer variables are displayed on a graphical user interface.

Abstract: Payment instruments used on behalf of a sponsor may be restricted from use at certain locations. The sponsor may indicate that use of the payment instrument at either specific merchants or certain categories of merchants is not in accordance with the sponsor's goals or values. A system evaluates every transaction request to determine if the personal account number of the payment instrument is associated with the sponsor. If so, the transaction may be further screened to determine if the transaction is from a location to be blocked, in which case a flag may be added to the transaction indicating it is from blocked location. An issuer of the payment instrument may then determine whether to approve or deny the transaction. A tool may generate a dataset of locations and/or merchant categories for use in identifying blocked locations.
