  • Patent number: 11900382
    Abstract: A method for detecting fraudulent transactions includes generation of a graph including a plurality of nodes and a plurality edges between the plurality of nodes based on historical transaction data of a plurality of historical transactions. The plurality of nodes include a set of merchant nodes and a set of consumer nodes. A set of static features and a plurality of dynamic features are determined based on the historical transaction data and the generated graph, respectively. A neural network is trained based on the set of static features and the plurality of dynamic features for detection of transaction fraud. The neural network is used to detect a first transaction as one of a fraudulent transaction or a legitimate transaction based on first transaction data of the first transaction.

  • Patent number: 11900336
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and mitigating fraud include a processor for performing steps including receiving a digital image of a receipt and utilizing an optical character recognition model to encode a digital representation of transaction information from the receipt. The processor extracts a payee feature, an amount feature, and a payment date feature from the transaction data, and generating a receipt feature vector from the payee feature, the amount feature and the payment date feature. The processor receives historical transaction data representing historical transactions, generates a transaction feature vector for each historical transaction and then utilizes a machine learning model to predict a matching transaction from the transaction history that matches the receipt based on the receipt feature vector and each of the transaction feature vectors to determine a difference between the payment amount of the receipt and the payment authorization of the matching transaction.

  • Patent number: 11900271
    Abstract: Methods and systems for using machine learning to automatically determine a data loading configuration for a computer-based rule engine are presented. The computer-based rule engine is configured to use rules to evaluate incoming transaction requests. Data of various data types may be required by the rule engine when evaluating the incoming transaction requests. The data loading configuration specifies pre-loading data associated with at least a first data type and lazy-loading data associated with at least a second data type. Statistical data such as use rates and loading times associated with the various data types may be supplied to a machine learning module to determine a particular loading configuration for the various data types. The computer-based rule engine then loads data according to the data loading configuration when evaluating a subsequent transaction request.

  • Patent number: 11893586
    Abstract: A method for processing a potentially fraudulent electronic payment transaction includes: receiving a first fraud detection rule configured to identify a potentially fraudulent electronic payment transaction; storing the first fraud detection rule in a fraud rules database; receiving a transaction request message; generating and storing a first case record associated with the first transaction in a case management database; receiving an updated fraud detection rule superseding the first fraud detection rule; applying the updated fraud detection rule to the first transaction to determine whether the first transaction does not satisfy the at least one updated fraud detection rule; and deleting the first case record from the case management database before the first transaction is further analyzed for fraud.

  • Patent number: 11887108
    Abstract: In some implementations, a user device may receive, via an application, object information associated with an object, wherein the object information identifies a value associated with the object and a location of the object. The user device may determine an adjustment factor that is associated with transactions performed in a region of the location. The user device may determine, based on the value and the adjustment factor, an adjusted value associated with the object. The user device may generate, based on the adjusted value, an arrangement of tokens for a transaction involving the object and the tokens. The user device may output, via a user interface of the application, an indication of the arrangement of tokens to assist a user with engaging in the transaction.

  • Patent number: 11887074
    Abstract: In some examples, a payment service system receives a request to associate a proxy identifier with a user account of a charity. The proxy identifier is individually distinguishable from other proxy identifiers associated with user accounts of other users, and has a syntax including a symbol and a string of one or more characters. The symbol and the string are concatenated such that the symbol appears immediately before the string. The payment service system receives, via an application on a user device of a user, an input associated with the proxy identifier, and performs a database lookup to identify the user account associated with the proxy identifier. Information associated with the user account of the charity is presented via a user interface presented by the application. The user interface enables the user to donate funds from a financial account of the user to the user account of the charity.

  • Patent number: 11880813
    Abstract: In some examples, a payment system generates, for a first user, a proxy identifier having a syntax including a symbol and a string of one or more characters that are concatenated such that the symbol appears immediately before the string. The proxy identifier is associated with a financial account of the first user. The payment system receives an indication of an intent to transfer funds from a second user to the first user. The indication includes the proxy identifier in lieu of financial account information of the first user, and to identify the financial account of the first user for receiving the funds. Based at least on identifying the proxy identifier, the payment system accesses the financial account information of the first user and initiates the transfer of funds from the financial account of the second user to the financial account of the first user.

  • Patent number: 11810106
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating a transaction between a first entity and a second entity using a digital currency are described. In some aspects, a computing node participates in a private distributed ledger for a financial institution and stores one or more transaction blocks representing transactions in a digital currency. The digital currency is issued by the financial institution and is fixed with respect to a fiat currency. The computing node is configured to receive a transaction for transferring an amount of digital currency from a first entity to a second entity, generate a new transaction block representing the transaction, transmit the new transaction block to other computing nodes participating in the private distributed ledger, receive an indication of validity of the new transaction block, and insert the new transaction block into the private distributed ledger.

  • Patent number: 11749007
    Abstract: A digital image of a check may be divided into segments. The segments may be processed to determine the edges between the background data and the check data in the segments of the digital image. A histogram of each segment may be determined and used to determine the edges of the check image portions in the segments and thus the edges of the check. The data outside the edges of the check image portions in the segments may be considered to be background data and may be identified and/or removed. The segments, with the background data removed, may be recombined into an image of the check and provided into a digital image file that may be transmitted to an institution system for deposit of the check in an account.
