Patent number: 11514456Abstract: Intraday alert volume adjustment based on risk parameters is disclosed. A set of alerts associated with user transactions can be displayed to one or more human reviewers for processing. The set of alerts can be analyzed to determine whether or not the volume of alerts exceeds a threshold capacity level, which is based on a number of human reviewers available to process alerts. If the volume of alerts exceeds the threshold capacity level, alerts in the set of alerts can be prioritized based on risk in descending order and displayed to the human reviewers. In one instance, alerts below a threshold can be hidden from view of the human reviewers and optionally automatically approved. Further, prioritization can be performed dynamically as new alerts are added to the set.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2020Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Christopher P.

Patent number: 11216816Abstract: Identification of anomalous transaction attributes in real-time with adaptive threshold tuning is provided. A set of historical transactions conducted during a defined time period are analyzed and categorizing into defined groups. Outlier transactions are identified and removed from the set of historical transactions and a set of non-anomalous transactions are determined. When a new transaction is received, the new transaction is automatically allowed based on a determination that the subsequent transaction conforms to the set of non-anomalous transactions. Alternatively, an alert for further analysis for the new transaction is output based on a determination that the subsequent transaction does not conform to the set of non-anomalous transactions.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2019Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A.Inventors: David J. Dietrich, Christopher P. Smith, Stephanie D. Smith

Patent number: 11132425Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for authenticating a user based at least in part on a location of the user or a location of a user device are described. The user may be authenticated as part of a financial transaction or as part of a login process for a computing device. The user device was previously bound or associated with the user. During the authentication, a system (e.g., a financial institution computing system or a backend authentication system) requests location information from the user device. The location information may be packaged as a digital fingerprint of the user device, which can only be created from the user device. Based on the location information, the user can be authenticated thereby approving the transaction or login request.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2016Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Gerard K. Cohen, Michelle D. Green, Christopher P. Smith, Craig Stuart, Kenneth L. Wright, Michelle M. Young

Patent number: 10699276Abstract: Intraday alert volume adjustments based on risk parameters is provided. Users may be assigned risk levels, which may be determined based on historical information. An event associated with the user may be prioritized in relation to other events received by the user or by other users. The prioritization may be events received during a predetermined time range, or until an event has been pending for longer than a predetermined interval. The various events are output according to their relative rankings, which may indicate a descending order of risk level. As newly received events are received, they may be dynamically ranked in relationship to the previously received events that have not expired.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2015Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A.Inventors: Christopher P.

Patent number: 8751375Abstract: Event processing for suspicious activity detection is disclosed. Financial events can be detected by receiving data from a plurality of detection channels. The data can optionally be enriched by adding additional details about events. An event or group of events is scored based on pre-defined risk factors and experience, and the resulting score can be compared to a pre-defined threshold. A case for investigation is established when the score is above the pre-defined threshold. Events for which the score is below the pre-defined threshold are sampled to provide the experience for the scoring. Events can be scored by obtaining a plurality of predictors, collecting training data regarding existing cases, and running a logistic regression to obtain weights for the predictors. The likelihood of a case for investigation resulting in a suspicious activity report can then be determined.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2009Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Christopher P. Smith, Subramanian Sulur, Paul B. Dougherty
