  • Patent number: 12567076
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for electronic payment network security. Payment data including an origin and a destination for a payment in an electronic payment network may be received. A route of the payment in the electronic payment network may be estimated based on the origin and the destination. The estimated route of the payment in the electronic payment network may be input to a neural network. Fraud probabilities may be determined using the neural network. A fraud probability may include a value indicating a probability of fraud in the payment in the electronic payment network.

  • Patent number: 12518286
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for a resource transfer system. An instruction to transfer a first quantity of a resource from a first resource pool to a second resource pool may be received. A hold may be placed on a second quantity of the resource in the first resource pool. The held second quantity of the first resource may not be transferred from the first resource pool until the hold is released. Responsive to receiving a message that fulfills a condition on the hold and an instruction to execute the transfer, the hold may be released. A register that is in the first resource pool and is associated with the resource may decremented by the first quantity, and a register that is in the second resource pool and is associated with the resource may be incremented by the first quantity.

  • Patent number: 12348503
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for a resource transfer setup and verification. A request for transfer conditions for a transfer of resources may be received from a first computing device. A set of transfer conditions may be generated in response to the request for transfer conditions and sent to the first computing device. The set of transfer conditions and an indication of an acceptance of the set of transfer conditions by a second computing device may be received from the first computing device. A transfer identifier for the set of transfer conditions may be generated from data from the set of transfer conditions which may specify a first sub-transfer. Transfer instructions may be sent to a third computing device, including instructions for a sub-transfer specified in the set of transfer conditions. The set of transfer conditions may be stored with the transfer identifier as a transfer record in non-volatile storage.

  • Patent number: 12321905
    Abstract: In a method, computer readable medium, or system for making a payment transaction between a payor having an associated payor computer with a ledger storage for the payor and a payee having an associated payee computer with a ledger storage for the payee in a consensus payment network having a plurality of nodes each comprising a respective computer with ledger storage and relying on consensus determinations, an initiator is provided for making the payment transaction between the payor and the payee, the initiator being either the payor, the payee, or an intermediary having an associated intermediary computer. The respective initiator computer creates a temporary payment transaction consensus subnetwork comprising a set of validation nodes acceptable to both the payor and the payee, the set of validation nodes comprising fewer than all of said plurality of nodes in the payment network.
