  • Publication number: 20240144284
    Abstract: A computerized method verifies an issued check by receiving, from a check issuer computer system of a checking account holder at a payer financial institution, first check information comprising: a first routing number, account number, check number, and dollar amount associated with an issued check. The method also receives, from a computer system of a payee financial institution, second check information comprising a second routing number, account number, check number, and dollar amount from a received check. The second routing number, the second account number, the second check number, and/or the second dollar amount, are read by an electronic device at the payee financial institution. The method determines whether the first check information matches the second check information and sends, to the computer system of the payee financial institution in response to the first check information not matching the second check information, a message indicating potential fraud.

  • Patent number: 11928681
    Abstract: A computerized method produces an identity code to identify each subject stored in the computer systems connected to a computer network while protecting the privacy and confidentiality of the subject. A central computer system receives an identity code of a suspect of a financial crime and sends the identity code to all computer systems connected to the computer network. The computer systems that have the matched identity code send the requested information to the central computer system. As a result, law enforcement organizations can eliminate crimes and financial institutions can recover the money stolen from them. In addition, law enforcement organizations and financial institutions can identify money launderers that are missed by their anti-money laundering transactional monitoring systems.

  • Patent number: 11908030
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method approves a transaction by storing, at a first computer system, first data identifying at least a portion of an identity of a user, an information locator associated with the first data, and a transformation method associated with the information locator. The computer-implemented method also receives, at the first computer system from a second computer system, the information locator when the user conducts the transaction, and second data converted from electronically obtained identification information of the user. An identity of the user cannot be identified from the second data. The computer-implemented method transforms, at the first computer system, the second data into third data based on the transformation method retrieved in response to the received information locator, and approves, by the first computer system, the transaction associated with the information locator when the third data corresponds to the first data.

  • Patent number: 11811927
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for sharing information about a subject without disclosing identification information about the subject includes comparing, by a first computer system, a third set of data with a fourth set of data. The third set of data is converted by a transformation from a first set of identification data of a first subject provided by the first computer system. The fourth set of data is converted by the transformation from a second set of identification data of a second subject provided by a second computer system. The transformation renders the first subject unidentifiable from the third set of data and the second subject unidentifiable from the fourth set of data. The computer-implemented method also includes transmitting, from the first computer system to the second computer, a fifth set of data when the third set of data corresponds to the fourth set of data.

  • Publication number: 20230325835
    Abstract: A central computer system transforms identification information of a consumer into an identity code that hides the identification information and stores it with contact information of a consumer's computer system. When a computer system on the network of the central computer system conducts a transaction with a subject who uses the identity code of the consumer, the central computer system contacts the consumer's computer system so that the consumer can stop the transaction if it is not authorized. Because only the identity code is used to protect the consumer, the original identification information of the consumer is fully protected.

  • Publication number: 20230306424
    Abstract: A computerized method electronically verifies identity data of a customer by requesting the customer to provide identity data from a customer identification document during a financial transaction. The method updates an identity profile of the customer by combining the received portion of identity data with different portions of previously received identity data that were previously received from different merchants during different transactions between the customer and the different merchants. The method compares the identity profile to the unverified identity data of the customer when a number of transactions with the account is greater than a first transaction threshold, and approves the financial transaction when the identity profile matches the unverified identity data.
