  • Patent number: 11978064
    Abstract: In a computer-implemented method of using customer data to determine that geolocation-based fraud alerts are false positives, it may be determined that an electronic fraud alert is a geolocation-based alert generated based upon an unexpected or abnormal transaction location. In response, customer data may be obtained from two or more sources via radio frequency links. It may then be determined that the customer data from the sources indicates that a customer is traveling. In response, it may be determined that a customer location indicated by the customer data corresponds to the transaction location. In response to determining that the customer location corresponds to the transaction location, the electronic fraud alert may be marked as a false positive, and the electronic fraud alert may be prevented from being transmitted to a mobile device of the customer, in order to reduce an amount of false positives that are transmitted to customers.

  • Patent number: 11972418
    Abstract: A mobile device configured for currency exchange enables a user to cause funds in a first pre-established account and denominated in a first currency to be sent to a first transaction machine to purchase funds denominated in a second currency. The mobile device electronically receives second account information after a second account is created, with the second account being created responsive to completion of the first transaction. The created second account includes the purchased funds denominated in the second currency. Accordingly, the user is enabled, subsequent to the first transaction, to select a second account module in the mobile device that has since been configured with the received second account information of the created second account. The user can thereafter cause the mobile device to send that second account information to a second, different transaction machine to perform at least a second transaction in the second currency. Other aspects are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11961139
    Abstract: Geographical mapping and linking of security and risk indicator data. Cross-references are created between location indicators and geo-spatial areas based on a statistical algorithm, in accordance with geo-spatial data. The cross-references are stored in a first data table. A credit risk indicator (CRI) is generated for each geo-spatial area based on other data, forming CRI data that is stored in second data table. A security associated with one of the location indicators is identified among security data. A first link is created between the security and a geo-spatial area based on the cross-references in the first data table. Based on the first link, a second link is created between an indicator among the CRI data in the second data table and the security. The second link is used to form instrument-level data for the security that includes the indicator. The instrument-level data is stored in a third data table.
