  • Publication number: 20220405838
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an identity network that can provide a universal, digital identity for users that can be used to authenticate the user by an identity provider for relying parties. The identity network receives a request from a relying party that includes deep linking to an identity provider selected by the user. The request specifies the user as well as any other information about the user the relying party is requesting. A service of the identity network launches the application for the identity provider on the user's device using a software development kit. The user can log into the identity provider's application, which validates the user and provides the user authentication/validation and information about the user to the identity network. The identity network can then provide the indication of the user's authentication and the user information to the relying party.

  • Publication number: 20220383323
    Abstract: A payment and authentication network may include a communications interface, one or more processors, and a memory. The memory may have instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to receive, using the communications interface, transaction information associated with a transaction from a merchant system and generate a fraud risk score based on the transaction information. The instructions may cause the one or more processors to determine that the fraud risk score is indicative that the transaction is likely fraudulent and transmit an alert to a user device that informs a user of the user device that the transaction is likely fraudulent prior to generating an approval decision for the transaction.

  • Publication number: 20220321681
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for implementing reciprocal data sharing in a data exchange system. Limitations may be placed on the amount of data an exchange member may access based on the amount of data contributed. The system may include determining a data contribution associated with a first member of the data exchange, determining a data access limit for the first member based on the data contribution, and providing data to the first member when the first member has not exceeded the data access limit. In some embodiments, there may be separate data access limits for each member of the data exchange, so that a first member may have different access limits when accessing data from a second member, data from a third member, and data from a fourth member. Further, the system may limit a requester to a type of data that corresponds to the type of data contributed.

  • Publication number: 20220301050
    Abstract: Described herein is an identity network for authenticating a user for a relying party and providing access to the user's credit report. The identity network may receive an unlock request for the digital identity and credit report of a user from a relying party. In response, the identity network may provide an identity provider link for accessing the identity provider application. The user may login to the identity provider application and provide consent for obtaining the user's credit report. The identity provider provides the identity network with verification of the digital identity of the user and the consent response from the user. The identity network can request access from a credit reporting agency and receive a credit report key in response. The identity network can provide the credit report key to the relying party, which can use the key to access the user's credit report from the credit reporting agency.
