  • Cause identification using dynamic information source(s)
    Patent number: 11893067
    Abstract: A payment service system monitors data associated with a dynamic information feed and determines trending causes based on the monitoring. The system accesses user information associated with a user and identifies a trending cause that is relevant to the user based on the user information. The system transmits, to the user's mobile device, a recommendation alert that is formatted based on a local application on the user's mobile device, and causes the user's mobile device to surface the recommendation alert to recommend the relevant trending cause within the local application. The system receives an indication of an interaction with the recommendation alert via the user's mobile device. In response, the system facilitates a transfer of at least one asset from an account associated with the user to at least one account associated with at least one recipient entity associated with the relevant trending cause according to a specified distribution.
