  • Patent number: 11657447
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that verifies user attributes. During operation, the system obtains financial data containing a set of strings representing a set of deposits into one or more financial accounts of one or more users. Next, the system generates one or more clusters of the deposits according to a similarity between pairs of strings in the set of strings. For each cluster from the one or more clusters, the system associates a subset of the strings in the cluster with an income source and extracts one or more employment attributes of a user from a subset of the deposits associated with the user in the cluster. Finally, the system uses the one or more employment attributes to provide an automatic verification of an income of the user.

  • Patent number: 11436600
    Abstract: A computer-based method for associating ownership of anonymous payment cards uses a computer device including a processor in communication with a transaction database. The method includes identifying a target account number for a payment card from the transaction database, identifying a set of transaction times associated with the target account number from the transaction database, and comparing the target account number to each candidate account number of a set of candidate account numbers from the transaction database. Comparing the target account number includes identifying a first candidate set of transaction times associated with a first candidate account number of the set of candidate account numbers, comparing the target set of transaction times to the first candidate set of transaction times, and identifying the first candidate account number as a match candidate if the target set of transaction times and first candidate set of transaction times do not include overlapping transactions.
