Patent number: 8543499Abstract: Share of Wallet (“SOW”) is a modeling approach that utilizes various data sources to provide scores that describe a consumers spending capability, tradeline history including balance transfers, and balance information. Share of wallet scores can be used as a parameter for determining whether or not to accept and/or guarantee a check. The share of wallet can be used to calculate a risk value of a customer. For example, the scores can weight one or more factors related to the check writer and differentiate between a low-risk customer and a high-risk customer.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2006Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc.Inventors: Kathleen Haggerty, Benedict O.

Patent number: 8489482Abstract: Commercial size of spending wallet (“CSoSW”) is the total business spend of a business including cash but excluding bartered items. Commercial share of wallet (“CSoW”) is the portion of the spending wallet that is captured by a particular financial company. A modeling approach utilizes various data sources to provide outputs that describe a company's spend capacity. A mutual fund rating company can use this CSoW/CSoSW modeling approach to predict the performance of funds that invest in a particular industry or sector. In addition, since mutual funds often provide guidelines for selecting stocks, rating companies can use this modeling approach to predict the performance of companies in a fund's portfolio.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2012Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc.Inventors: Kathleen Haggerty, Charles Christopher Lyon, Benedict O.
