Publication number: 20230252518Abstract: Aspects described herein may relate to techniques for segmenting one transaction into multiple sub-transactions. A user may wish to purchase multiple items. The overall purchase request may be segmented into multiple sub-transactions based on a transaction category of each item. Transaction categories may be based on merchant category codes (MCCs). Each sub-transaction may include one or more items related to the same transaction category. Each sub-transaction may be underwritten and approved separately by the merchant and/or a financial institution (e.g., a credit card company). Financial information related to each different transaction category may be determined based on the sub-transactions. Reward offers may be provided in a more robust manner based on the different transaction categories determined during the purchase process.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Abdelkader M'Hamed Benkreira, Brendan Way, Tyler Maiman

Publication number: 20230245123Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing an auto-pause functionality for recurring payment transactions that continue to be charged, despite being associated with an unavailable merchant service as mandated by a public closure restriction. One operational aspect of the disclosed system/method is active detection of a possible closure condition based on monitoring a ratio of on-line (Card Not Present) to in-person (Card Present) transactions, internally computed over several time windows. The outcome of the ratio test falling below a predefined value is indicative of a possible public closure condition. There is an external verification step based on externally provided information associated with a published closure notification. Disclosed process further involves an indexing operation for parsing and tracking of recurring transaction string data to facilitate the identification of invalid recurring transaction strings, once a public closure condition is verified.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2022Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Abdelkader BENKREIRA, Tyler MAIMAN, Brendan WAY

Publication number: 20230245225Abstract: A system may include processor(s), a memory in communication with the processor(s), and storing instructions, that when executed by the processor(s), are configured to cause the system to prevent unnecessary payments. The system may receive a signal indicative of an event in which a user device associated with a user enters a geofenced area associated with a merchant. The system may identify a merchant category code (MCC) associated with the merchant, and determine whether benefit(s) related to the MCC are associated with account(s) of the user. The system may receive an attempted purchase associated with the merchant, and may determine whether the attempted purchase relates to the benefit(s). The system may automatically block the attempted purchase related to the benefit(s) and associated with the user, and may transmit a message to the user via the user device, the message providing the benefit(s).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Tyler Maiman, Brendan Way, Abdelkader Benkreira
