  • Publication number: 20210233123
    Abstract: A device may access payment data of a first payment account and a second payment account that are associated with a first user and a second user, respectively, wherein the payment data includes descriptions of payments to vendors. The device may group the vendors into subsets of vendors based on characteristics of the vendors. The device may determine relative weightings for respective vendors within the subsets. The device may receive a request for a vendor recommendation for a meeting between the first user and the second user, wherein the request identifies parameters for the meeting. The device may generate the vendor recommendation for the meeting by identifying candidate vendors based on the parameters for the meeting and selecting one or more of the candidate vendors based on the relative weightings for the respective vendors.

  • Publication number: 20210217251
    Abstract: A device may receive transaction data relating to a transaction event associated with a user and a merchant. The transaction data may include a merchant identifier and a transaction amount. The device may process the merchant identifier to determine whether the transaction event is associated with a rate-based service. The device may obtain, based on determining that the transaction event is associated with the rate-based service, location data from a user device associated with the user. The device may determine, based on the location data, a distance or a duration associated with the rate-based service. The device may determine, based on the distance or the duration, a transaction estimate for the rate-based service. The device may determine whether the transaction amount corresponds to the transaction estimate and perform one or more actions based on determining whether the transaction amount corresponds to the transaction estimate.

  • Patent number: 11062191
    Abstract: Provided are approaches for removing an identification chip of a transaction card using a tear element. In some approaches, the transaction card may include a body, the identification chip coupled to the body, and the tear element disposed between the identification chip and the body. The tear element is operable to decouple the identification chip from the body when the tear element is pulled or otherwise moved away from the body.

  • Patent number: 11010775
    Abstract: A device may detect a first entry of a first user device of a first user into a merchant area. The device may monitor a movement of the first user device within the merchant area. The movement may include a transition from a shopping area of the merchant area to a checkout area of the merchant area. The device may detect a transaction between the first user and the merchant. The device may determine a shopping duration for the first user and a checkout duration for the first user. The device may detect a second entry of a second user device of a second user into the merchant area. The device may perform one or more actions based on detecting the second entry. The one or more actions may be performed selectively based on the shopping duration or the checkout duration of the first user.

  • Patent number: 10958784
    Abstract: A user device may output an indication of an incoming call from a calling device. The user device may receive a request to screen the incoming call. The user device may analyze a transcription of voice input, received from the calling device, for one or more keywords related to a request for funds. The user device may output one or more input options, which permit a user of the user device to respond to the request for funds, including an input option to transfer funds from a first account associated with the user device to a second account associated with the calling device. The user device may detect a user interaction with the input option to transfer funds from the first account to the second account. The user device may transmit a request that causes funds to be transferred from the first account to the second account.
