Abstract: A portable token device is described, the token device useable to request transactions performed over an interchange system. The token device authenticates a user through the use of biometric data such as a fingerprint. When in proximity to a point of sale (POS) terminal, the token device communicates with the POS terminal over a wireless network to authorize a transaction involving the user. The interchange system employs blockchain elements that can be used in a payment apparatus for managing payments or other types of transactions, and for managing user accounts. The interchange system enables users to enroll in the system, and enables the various users' computing devices to be used as confirmation centers for new transactions and/or funds transfers between users.

Abstract: An example method and system for income determination analysis is disclosed. A document packet of income related documents is converted to an image file. The image file is split into separate documents and the separated documents are classified. An automated scanning tool is selected for the separated documents. Income related data is determined from the separated documents. An interface may be generated based on the confidence of the determined income related data for operator input and validation of the income related data. Multiple models are applied for calculation of income. A virtual panel is provided that incorporates the results of the multiple models to determine if further analysis is required.

Abstract: A method for tracking insured assets is provided. Asset identifiers corresponding to assets to be monitored are received from a user. Each of the one or more assets is attached to a tracking device. Monitored assets are covered by one or more insurance policies. One or more geofence regions are defined associated with the one or more monitored assets. A location of each of the monitored assets is estimated, at least periodically. In response to determining that the estimated location of at least one of the monitored assets is outside of the corresponding one or more geofence regions, an insurance policy associated with this at least one asset is determined. A policyholder associated with the insurance policy is notified by sending a notification to policyholder's-preferred device. The notification inquires instructions for remedial actions from the policyholder. One or more remedial actions are initiated based on received policyholder's instructions.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method includes in response to an integration tag included in a webpage at a first user interface being executed at a mobile device, receiving a mobile device identifier and a request to retrieve a purchase identifier. The method includes sending a first signal causing a frame to be provided within the webpage at the first user interface. The method includes in response to a first user input, receiving a Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) POST request and determining a uniform resource identifier (URI). The method includes retrieving purchase information and sending a HTTP response message including the URI of the second user interface and the purchase information to deeplink to the second user interface and to cause the second user interface to be rendered at the mobile device with the purchase information pre-populated in an input field of a text message.

Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for interfacing a computing system to a plurality of users. A computing system may access goal data describing a financial goal and user data describing a first user associated with the financial goal and a second user associated with the financial goal. The computing system may determine a portion of a first user account associated with the first user that is allocated to the financial goal and a portion of a second user account associated with the second user that is allocated to the financial goal. The computing system may generate a graphical user interface and send the graphical user interface to a first user computing device associated with the first user and to a second user computing device associated with the second user.
