  • Patent number: 11694172
    Abstract: A computer system including a processor, in communication with a database, programmed to identify a plurality of billers from the database, including biller information, and receive a payee file including payee information identifying a payee which issued a bill to a payor. The processor determines an approximate match score for each of the billers in a first set of billers of the plurality of billers by comparing payee information to biller information and identifies a candidate list of billers from the first set of billers having an approximate match score indicating a likelihood of matching the payee information. The processor adjusts the candidate list of billers by altering the match score of at least one candidate biller by comparing a payee account number of the payee information to an account mask associated with the candidate biller and generates an output file of candidate biller information from the adjusted candidate list.

  • Publication number: 20230206237
    Abstract: A system receives a remote pay authorization request message from a first consumer. The message includes a transaction token with transaction details. The system also receives first user mapping data from a first issuer. The mapping data includes a unique ID corresponding to a second consumer (i.e., a paying consumer). The system receives a second remote pay authorization request message from the second consumer. The message includes a payment token that includes consumer payment account data. The system also receives second user mapping data from a second issuer. The second user mapping data includes the unique ID. The system determines that the unique ID is included in the first and second user mapping data. The system merges the transaction token and the payment token into a combined payment token, thereby enabling the second consumer to pay for a transaction performed by the first consumer.

  • Publication number: 20230206236
    Abstract: The disclosure describes techniques for authenticating a voice command transaction initiated by a consumer at a voice-activated digital assistant. The system determine a proximity score for a consumer device. The proximity score is based on a distance between the consumer device and the digital assistant. The system detects motion indicating presence of a person proximate the digital assistant (based on wireless signal data) and determines a motion score. The system receives voice data from the digital assistant and determines a voice differentiation score. The system determines a rank score for the consumer device based on historical transaction data associated with the device. The system analyzes the proximity score, motion score, voice differentiation score, and rank score using a voice command authentication model. Based on the analysis, the system determines an authentication score for the voice command transaction request.

  • Publication number: 20230206242
    Abstract: A system for payment routing according to a likelihood of settlement. The system includes processors and/or transceivers programmed to receive a payment transaction message relating to a putative payment transaction. The payment transaction message contains putative payment transaction data including a customer identification (ID) for an account and a transaction amount. The system generates a scaled score representing the likelihood of settlement of the putative payment transaction on at least one date for each of a plurality of potential payment rails. Based at least in part on the at least one scaled score for each of the plurality of potential payment rails, the system selects a payment rail from the plurality of payment rails. The system initiates, via the selected payment rail, a payment transaction corresponding to the putative payment transaction.

  • Publication number: 20230205506
    Abstract: A computer system includes a processor and a memory device. The computer system is configured to execute a function that builds a software instance definition object. The software instance definition object includes one or more configuration items, attributes, permissions, and linkages to other objects, which define a software instance. The computer system temporarily stores the software instance definition object in the memory device. The computer system updates at least one of the configuration items, attributes, permissions, and linkages to other objects of the stored software instance definition object, thereby creating an updated software instance definition object. A fix command is then executed to update the software instance based on the updated software instance definition object, thereby creating an updated software instance. After creating the updated software instance, the software instance definition object is deleted from the memory device.

  • Publication number: 20230206238
    Abstract: The disclosure describes systems and methods for authenticating a consumer performing a digital wallet transaction while wearing a face covering. A consumer authentication system includes an electronic circuit device having a wireless transmitter chip associated with a unique identifier (UID). The system receives a transaction request message, and in response, transmits an authentication request message to the consumer. The system then receives an authentication response message from the consumer. The authentication response message includes a biometric sample of a select physical feature of the consumer. The system determines that the biometric sample matches the biometric profile of the consumer above a predetermined lower threshold and then reads a unique identifier (UID) from the electronic circuit device. The system determines whether the read unique identifier (UID) matches the unique identifier (UID) of the new consumer account.

  • Patent number: 11687931
    Abstract: A method of facilitating a transaction with a payment card of a cardholder. The method includes receiving a deceptive PIN comprising a set of characters in which one character is a deceptive character. The deceptive character is different than each of a set of actual characters of an actual PIN of the payment card. The method includes identifying the deceptive character and a position of the deceptive character among the set of characters of the deceptive PIN. The method includes determining a reconstructed PIN by replacing the deceptive character with a corresponding actual character at the position in the deceptive PIN. The actual character is determined based on a predefined mathematical expression and a predefined value for the predefined mathematical expression. The method includes authenticating the reconstructed PIN by matching the reconstructed PIN with the actual PIN. The method further includes facilitating the transaction upon successful authentication.

  • Patent number: 11687598
    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes determining computing assets associated with a service. Metadata from one or more computing assets of a computing system is collected. One or more alias terms are identified in the collected metadata of the one or more computing assets, wherein the alias terms are associated with the service. Service association scores are generated for the one or more computing assets based on the identified one or more alias terms and a term-score mapping. Each service association score indicates a likelihood that a computing asset is used for a service. A subset of computing assets of the one or more computing assets is identified. The subset of computing assets includes computing assets with service association scores that exceed a service association threshold. Computing assets of the service are identified based on the identified subset, thereby reducing the need for manual identification of asset-service associations.

  • Patent number: 11687913
    Abstract: An ultra-wideband (UWB)-enabled payment acceptance system can include a UWB anchor and a terminal device. The UWB anchor identifies UWB-enabled devices within a vicinity; and in response to receiving an indication of an intent to perform a payment transaction from a particular UWB-enabled device, the UWB anchor establishes a secure communication channel with the particular UWB-enabled device. The terminal device, via the UWB anchor, communicates transaction related information over the secure communication channel to the particular UWB-enabled device and receives a transaction payload from the particular UWB-enabled device over the secure communication channel. A UWB-enabled device includes a processor, storage, a battery, and a UWB chip. Instructions can be stored in the storage of the UWB-enabled device that when executed by the processor direct the UWB-enabled device to perform various processes supporting frictionless transactions, such as with respect to the UWB-enabled payment acceptance system.
