  • Publication number: 20210398141
    Abstract: System and devices for preempting customer acceptance of predatory loan offers is disclosed. The system may store customer account data and customer contact information. The system may determine an applicable first loan tier, each loan tier associated with a predetermined loan offer and indicative of a financial health of the customer. The first loan tier may be determined based on the customer account data. The system may receive a GPS signal indicating that the customer has entered and remained in a geofenced area associated with a predatory loan provider. In response to determining that the loan merchant is a predatory loan provider, the system may update customer account data and determine a second loan tier based on the updated customer account data, wherein the second loan tier is indicative of a higher risk loan than the first loan tier. Before offering the loan, the customer may be authenticated.

  • Publication number: 20210398100
    Abstract: A system includes an application programming interface, a database, and a server. The application programming interface can make recommendations to a user at a point of sale to display a recommended payment method from a set of payment methods associated with the user. The database can store past transactions for each payment method in the set of payment methods. The server can generate payment analytics by analyzing the past transactions in the database for each payment method. The server can determine potential benefits available to the user. The server can determine the recommended payment method by using the payment analytics and maximizing the potential benefits available to the user.

  • Publication number: 20210398114
    Abstract: In a method for transferring payment account information, a payment information transfer request is received from an account holder device associated with a first provider account. A list of payees to which electronic payments have been made from the first provider account is transmitted to the account holder device for display to the account holder and a user selection of at least one selected payee from the list of one or more payees is received from the account holder device. A payment account information data file is assembled in a predetermined data format, the file including payment account information for each selected payee. The payment account information data file is then transmitted to at least one of the set consisting of the account holder device and an information processing system of a second account provider.

  • Publication number: 20210397679
    Abstract: In a method for securing a web browser, display instructions for displaying web content are received from a content server by a web browser operating on a client computing device. The web browser creates a document object using the display instructions and determines from the document object whether one or more of the display instructions meet font profiling criteria selected to identify attempts to profile font display characteristics of the web browser. Responsive to a determination that font profiling criteria are met, the web browser alters a character display of the document object and implements the document object for displaying the web content on the client computing device.

  • Publication number: 20210390549
    Abstract: Systems and methods build blockchains and verify assets for smart contracts. A system includes a memory, a blockchain, a set of nodes, a set of verifiers, a set of miners, and a consensus protocol. The memory can have a block data structure representing a transaction for an asset having an identifier and at least one verifiable characteristic. The consensus protocol can include rules for: receiving the stake at risk from the verifiers, providing the reputational score to the verifiers, verifying the verifiable characteristic of the asset by the verifiers, cryptographic verification by the miners, adding the new block to the blockchain by the miners, providing the reward to the miners, and distributing the copy of the blockchain to each node.

  • Publication number: 20210383392
    Abstract: Systems and methods for fraud detection and prevention is disclosed. The system may receive a transaction request for a first customer including a transaction location, transaction time stamp, and merchant type code. The system may determine whether the transaction location is expected for the first customer. When the transaction location is unexpected, the system may identify a last-known video detection having a last-known time stamp and last-known location. The system may determine a travel time estimate between the last-known location and the transaction location and determine a buffer based on the merchant type code. The system may compare the travel time estimate to an allotted time that includes a difference between the transaction time stamp and last-known time stamp less the buffer. When the travel time estimate exceeds the allotted time, the system may execute one or more fraud prevention steps.

  • Publication number: 20210365947
    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to Spend Limit Systems for gas-station refuel transactions. An exemplary system may receive vehicle information identifying a customer's vehicle and identify associated vehicle characteristics (e.g., gas tank size). The system may identify a known gas-station transaction geographic region for the customer. When the customer (or a fraudster) attempts to purchase gas, the system may receive a transaction request and, in response, set a single transaction limit sufficient to fill the gas tank size with gas and an associated spend limit. The system may also determine whether the merchant location falls within the known gas-station transaction geographic region. When it does, the system may approve the transaction request up to the spend limit. Otherwise, the system may perform one or more fraud prevention actions to authenticate the customer and either approve or deny the transaction request up to the spend limit and/or selectively perform fraud mitigation action(s).

  • Publication number: 20210366010
    Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods may request a merchant identifier associated with a merchant from a third party, receive the merchant identifier, retrieve or receive a first uniform resource locator (URL) associated with the merchant, and store the merchant identifier and the first URL in a database. In response to a web browser extension detecting that a user is preparing to make an online purchase associated with the merchant, the system may receive an age request for an age of the merchant from a user device and identify the merchant identifier in the database based on a second URL included in the age request. The system may then request the age of the merchant from the database based on the merchant identifier, receive the age of the merchant from the third party, and transmit the age of the merchant to the user device for display.

  • Publication number: 20210359965
    Abstract: In a method for distributed upload of documents an upload email address is assigned to a user and associated with a searchable document database accessible by the user via a user device and a network. Sender acceptance criteria are established for the upload email address. An email addressed to the upload email address and having a sender email address is received from an email sender via the network. A determination is made as to whether the received email meets sender acceptance criteria. Responsive to a determination that the email meets sender acceptance criteria, documents attached to the email are identified. Each identified document is associated with a document record comprising a document identifier and a sender identifier associated with the email sender and is stored in the searchable document database with the document record.
