  • Patent number: 11887067
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a first ACH (automated clearing house) transaction at a local (domestic) sponsor bank. The first ACH transaction originates from a domestic originating bank. In response to the first ACH transaction, a second ACH transaction is executed from the local sponsor bank to a foreign sponsor bank. The second ACH transaction includes addressing messaging. The addressing messaging indicates a receiving bank in the same country as the foreign sponsor bank. The receiving bank is designated to receive a third ACH transaction from the foreign sponsor bank to benefit a recipient's account at the receiving bank. The addressing messaging contains an account number to identify the recipient's account.

  • Patent number: 11887124
    Abstract: The invention provides systems, methods and computer program products for securing electronic transactions and users of electronic transaction services from phishing attacks by malicious attackers and fraudsters. A terminal device receives a first data communication comprising an OTP associated with a requested electronic transaction, and identifies a validity period associated with the OTP. The terminal device responds to detection of a second data communication between the terminal device and a remote entity during the identified validity period, by extracting content from the second data communication. The extracted content is analyzed and a risk decision is generated based on output of the analysis of the extracted content. The risk decision determines whether the remote entity comprises, or is controlled by, a malicious attacker.

  • Patent number: 11880890
    Abstract: Siamese neural networks (SNN) are configured to detect differences between financial transactions for multiple financial institutions and transactions for a target party. A first neural network of the SNN tracks transactions (target transactions) for a particular customer or financial institution over time and provides a target output vector. Similarly, a second neural network of the SNN tracks transactions (baseline transactions) for all or a plurality of financial institutions (e.g., within a region) over the same period of time and provides a baseline output vector. The transactions for all or a plurality of financial institutions act as a baseline of transactions against which potentially fraudulent or money laundering activity may be compared. Because Siamese neural networks account for temporal changes based on the baseline of transactions, sudden changes in target transactions will only trigger an alarm if such changes (e.g., deviations or drifts) are relative to a baseline of transactions.

  • Publication number: 20240020694
    Abstract: A method for carrying out a wireless transaction for authorization through a transaction processing system between a first computing device and a second computing device is described. The first computing device establishes a secure network connection with a third computing device. The first computing device initiates the wireless transaction with the second computing device. The first computing device provides information to perform a security protocol for the transaction to the third computing device over the secure connection. The performance of the security protocol includes determination of a secure result. The first computing device receives a dummy secure result from the third computing device, and performs the wireless transaction with the second computing device using the dummy secure result. The third computing device prepares a true secure result for the wireless transaction. The dummy secure result may be used to reconcile the wireless transaction with the true secure result.

  • Patent number: 11875347
    Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for depersonalizing financial transaction data being switched by a switching service (e.g., an interchange network) between an acquirer and an issuer located in different countries. The acquirer's host sends a personalized transaction to a depersonalization service via an independent communications channel. The service depersonalizes the transaction and sends it back to the acquirer's host, and also sends a reverse depersonalization dictionary to the issuer's host. The acquirer's host sends the depersonalized transaction to the acquirer's interface, which sends it via the switching service to the issuer's interface, which sends it to the issuer's host. The issuer's host uses the dictionary to repersonalize the transaction, processes the repersonalized transaction, and sends a response code to the acquirer's host.
