Publication number: 20230419399Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing a customer a central location to manage permissions provided to third-parties and devices to access and use customer information maintained by a financial institution are described. The central location serves as a central portal where a customer of the financial institution can manage all access to account information and personal information stored at the financial institution. Accordingly, the customer does not need to log into each individual third-party system or customer device to manage previously provided access to the customer information or to provision new access to the customer information.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicant: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Brian M.

Patent number: 11853456Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing a central location to manage permissions provided to third-parties and devices to access and use user data and to manage accounts at multiple entities. A central portal may allow a user to manage all access to account data and personal information as well as usability and functionality of accounts. The user need not log into multiple third-party systems or customer devices to manage previously provided access to the information, provision new access to the information, and to manage financial or other accounts. A user is able to have user data and third-party accounts of the user deleted from devices, applications, and third-party systems via a central portal. The user is able to impose restrictions on how user data is used by devices, applications, and third-party systems, and control such features as recurring payments and use of rewards, via a central portal.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Lila Fakhraie, Brian M.

Patent number: 11847633Abstract: Methods and systems of managing payment cards are disclosed. A financial institution computing system includes a token database storing a plurality of tokens and token information, a network interface circuit enabling the financial institution computing system to exchange information over a network; and a token management circuit. The token management circuit enables a graphical user interface on a customer device over the network that can be used to generate new token requests, re-provision token requests, and management requests. The management requests enable and disable tokens, such that transactions against a payment card account using an enabled token are completed, and transactions against the payment card account using a disabled token are denied.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Michelle B. Techel, Peter Ho, Timothy R. Edge, Dorothy M. Scocci, Brenda L. Yost, Kathy Barris Dideum, Cheryl Lynn Wong, Khyati Soparkar, Steven E. Puffer, Stephanie S. Hellman, Brian M. Pearce, James D. Crowell

Patent number: 11799851Abstract: A computer implemented method performed by an identity verification computing system includes generating a user-level token associated with a user-level profile. The method further includes receiving a card-based transaction message associated with a card-based transaction. The card-based transaction message includes a card information portion and a point-of-sale data portion. The user-level token is inserted into at least one of the card information portion or the point-of-sale data portion. The method further includes obtaining the user-level token from the received card-based transaction message, validating the user-level token responsive to receiving a validation confirmation from a token service provider, and transmitting an identity verification to the entity computing system responsive to validating the user-level token.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Ashish B.

Patent number: 11763303Abstract: A method includes verifying the identity of an individual. The method further includes receiving non-financial data from the individual and generating a user-level profile. The user-level profiles include the non-financial data received from the individual. The method further includes generating a user-level token unique to the individual. The user-level token is associated with the generated user-level profile. The method also includes provisioning the user-level token to a device associated with the individual. The method further includes receiving an identity verification request comprising the user-level token, wherein the identity verification request is structured as a financial transaction card-originated message, validating the user-level token, and analyzing a context of the received user-level token to determine a relevant non-financial data element included in the non-financial information within the user-level profile.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2017Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Ashish B.
