  • Patent number: 11941599
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable a processor to automatically detect anomalous user-specified data by receiving an electronic activity verification associated with an electronic activity of a user account, including a value associated with an electronic activity, and a user-specified value indicative of an additional value specified by a user for the electronic activity. The processor generates a feature vector including the verified value and the user-specified value and utilizes an anomalous attribute classification model to ingest the feature vector to determine an anomaly classification based on learned model parameters. The processor generates a dispute graphical user interface (GUI) including an alert message and a dispute interface element, that upon a user interaction causes an electronic request to dispute the electronic activity verification to prevent an execution of the electronic activity.

  • Patent number: 11935067
    Abstract: A system including: one or more processors; a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors are configured to cause the system to receive primary and secondary user account data. The system generates one or more predictive model systems based on the primary and secondary user account data. The system receives a first input from the primary user corresponding to a first spending limitation for the secondary user. The system identifies a first transaction of the secondary user exceeding the spending limitation and determines using the one or more predictive model systems whether to authorize a spending limitation override. The system automatically authorizes the spending limitation override when the first transaction exceeds the spending limitation by less than a predetermined threshold. The system can also identify and automatically fund recurring transactions with an associated funding account using the one or more predictive model systems.

  • Patent number: 11922502
    Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, and computer readable storage media are described and disclosed. An example method includes depicting a strategy node in a graphical user interface presented by a computing device. The strategy node represents a trading strategy associated with two or more tradeable objects. The example method includes generating a graphical connector between the strategy node and one of a plurality of contract nodes including at least a first contract node and a second contract node. Each contract node represents a contract associated with one of the tradeable objects. The example method includes repositioning, in response to an input received via the graphical interface, an endpoint of the graphical connector from the first contract node specified by the trading strategy to the second contract node. The example method also includes generating an updated trading strategy based on the trading strategy and the second contract node.

  • Patent number: 11887098
    Abstract: A provider institution computing system comprises a network interface circuit and a processing circuit. The processing circuit includes a processor coupled to a non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuit, cause the processing circuit to perform operations. The operations include receiving a request from a first messaging application of a sender device to send a gift to a recipient device via a second messaging application of the recipient device. The operations further include verifying that a first account associated with the sender includes a first value of points and converting the first value of points to a first gift value and a second gift value that is different than the first gift value. The operations further include providing a first gift option to the first messaging application, which includes a first gift with the first gift value and a second gift with the second gift value.

  • Patent number: 11836733
    Abstract: Aspects described herein may allow for authentication of smart card usage. A server may receive, from a first computing device associated with a first user, a delegation request to delegate an authority, to a second user, to use a secondary card associated with an account belonging to the first user. The first user may hold a primary card associated with the account and the delegation request comprises one or more limitations on the authority. The server may also receive, via a sensor on the secondary card, first biometric information associated with the second user. The server may authenticate subsequent transaction requests based on the first biometric information and one or more limitations. In this way, the system may provide account holders with the flexibility to authorize other users to use the account while minimizing the risk of being exposed to fraudulent requests.

  • Patent number: 11763362
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and techniques in which a service provider may determine one or more capabilities of an authorization provider. To do this, the service provider may, upon receiving a request to determine authorization provider capabilities that includes at least an account identifier and an indication of a transaction type, identify a prototype message template associated with the indicated transaction type from a plurality of prototype transaction templates. The service provider may then overwrite a number of default data values with data values specific to the transaction to generate a prototype message for the transaction, which it may then send to the authorization provider. Upon receiving a response from the authorization provider, the service provider may determine whether the authorization provider is capable of conducting a transaction of the indicated transaction type based on information included within the received response.

  • Patent number: 11741438
    Abstract: A system and method for transacting cryptographic currency is described. An exchange database associated with a number of buyers and sellers is maintained at a host computer system. Cryptographic currency is received from one or more of the sellers at an exchange wallet associated with the exchange database. A match is created within the exchange database, including a buy offer for the cryptographic currency from a buyer and a sell offer for the cryptographic currency from a seller. A cryptographic currency withdrawal request is received from the buyer, and in response, the host computer system determines that a total amount of cryptographic currency represented in the exchange database matches a total amount of the cryptographic currency within the exchange wallet, transfers the cryptographic currency to the buyer's wallet, and updates the exchange database by deducting a first value of the cryptographic currency that is transferred to the buyer's wallet.

  • Patent number: 11663563
    Abstract: Systems and computer-implemented methods of providing interoperability between incompatible payment systems may be provided. For example, a server may receive encoded data from a wallet server of the first closed loop payment system, the encoded data using an encoding scheme and being based on a digital encoding of a recipient. The server may identify a receiving institution of the second closed loop payment system based on the encoding scheme. The server may transmit the encoded data to the receiving institution and receive a response from the receiving institution. The response may include a recipient identifier and a recipient attribute. The server may mediate the payment from the sender closed loop account to the recipient closed loop account based on the receiving institution, the recipient identifier and the recipient attribute. For example, the server may perform clearing-and-settlement or switching-and-routing to mediate the payment.
