  • Patent number: 11928683
    Abstract: A fraud prevention server and method. The fraud prevention server includes an electronic processor and a memory. The memory includes an online application origination (OAO) service. The electronic processor is configured to perform feature encoding on one or more categorical variables in a first matrix to generate one or more feature encoded categorical variables, generate a second matrix including the one or more feature encoded categorical variables, generate a feature encoded OAO model by training an OAO model with the second matrix, receive information regarding a submission of an online application on a device, determine a fraud score of the online application based on the information that is received and the feature encoded OAO model, the feature encoded OAO model being more precise than the OAO model, and control the client server to approve, hold, or deny the online application based on the fraud score that is determined.

  • Patent number: 11922396
    Abstract: Techniques described herein enable a payment service to generate and send different instructions regarding a wireless payment reader based on a current state of the payment reader. For instance, a wireless payment reader may include a quick-response (QR) code that uniquely identifies the payment reader relative to other payment readers. Further, the QR code may embed information identifying the wireless payment reader and/or a uniform resource locator (URL) pointing back to a payment service configured to process payment transactions with the wireless payment reader. In response to receiving an indication of a scan of the QR code, the payment service may determine whether the payment reader is currently paired. If not, then the payment service may generate and send pairing instructions to enable pairing with the payment reader. If so, then the payment service may generate and send payment instructions to cause the device to engage in a payment flow.

  • Patent number: 11900389
    Abstract: Transaction cards, systems and methods for performing fraud detection at POS devices based on analysis of feature sets are disclosed. In one embodiment, an exemplary transaction card may comprise one or more sensors configured to collect pre-card-use sensor data regarding a user of the card, circuitry that assembles such data into feature sets and performs fraud detection, and data storage. According to some aspects, the fraud detection may include comparing user specific sensor data, collected for a current transaction, to a user-specific risk profile validation model to determine a risk score for the current transaction, and transmitting the risk score to a card transacting device when a card is presented during a transaction. In some implementations, the risk score may enable the card transacting device to evaluate a risk associated with accepting the transaction card to complete the attempted transaction.

  • Patent number: 11887106
    Abstract: Methods and devices for provisioning a secure application on an electronic device with first issuer data for a first issuer are described. In an embodiment, the provisioning system receives and stores first issuer records. The example provisioning system receives a provisioning request to provision the secure application with the first issuer data. The provisioning request includes identifying information. The example provisioning system evaluates the provisioning request based on at least one of the first issuer evaluation criteria, the first issuer records and the identifying information in the provisioning request. When the provisioning request satisfies the first issuer evaluation criteria, the example provisioning system generates a signal using the communication module to provide the first issuer data to the electronic device to provision the secure application on the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 11631079
    Abstract: A settlement system with higher security which replaces a settlement system using credit cards is provided. The settlement system has a user terminal, a settlement device, and a settlement terminal. First, a user ID, a password, and amount information identifying an amount are inputted in the settlement system (S912), and sent to the settlement device (S913). The settlement device performs credit determination (S922), generates temporary permission information if credit is possible (S923), and sends the temporary permission information to the user terminal (S924). The user terminal generates a one-time password (S915). The one-time password is inputted to the settlement terminal (S931). If the one-time password sent from the settlement terminal to the settlement device is identical to the one-time password created in the settlement device (S926), the settlement device allows a user's payment (S927).

  • Patent number: 11551213
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided for secure transaction execution at an assistive device. Assistive devices include technologies that support people with disabilities in daily tasks, such as mobility aids or vision aids. An assistive device may be preregistered with a financial institution. The financial institution may generate a first hash incorporating a customer identifier and a device identifier. At the time of transaction, an active session may be initiated with the assistive device at a POS terminal, self-service kiosk, or financial institution. The assistive device may use short range wireless communication such as NFC or UWB to transmit the customer identifier and device identifier. A second hash may be generated and compared to the first hash to authenticate the device. Following authentication, the transaction may be completed at the assistive device via user inputs to the assistive device.

  • Patent number: 11443321
    Abstract: Methods and systems for dynamically generating a verification value for a transaction and for utilizing such value to verify the authenticity of the payment service application. The dynamically created verification value may be generated on a payment device, such as an integrated circuit credit card or smart card, embedded into the payment data, and transmitted to a point of sale terminal. Alternatively, payment data is sent by a payment device to a point of sale terminal, which generates a verification value and embeds it into the payment data. The embedded verification value is used by a service provider to verify the authenticity of the transaction. The methods and systems may be used in a contactless (wireless) environment or a non-wireless environment.

  • Patent number: 11157998
    Abstract: A financial trading system that includes a trading server, multiple financial exchanges, and multiple servers with each server associated with and co-located at an exchange and comprising a high accuracy clock. The trading server divides a large transaction order into multiple smaller transaction orders and combines each smaller transaction order with a transaction execution time. The trading server sends a financial trade instruction based on each combined smaller transaction order and transaction execution time to each co-located server. When the high accuracy clock on each server reaches the transaction execution time, all the servers submit their smaller transaction orders to the respective financial exchanges substantially simultaneously.
