  • Publication number: 20240086939
    Abstract: A computing system includes one or more processing circuits configured to identify an anomaly associated with an electronic transaction, wherein the anomaly is identified based on a profile or pattern of a user. The processing circuits further configured to transmit data corresponding to the anomaly to a user interface. The processing circuits further configured to receive, using the user interface, an indication that one or more risks associated with the anomaly are acceptable. The processing circuits further configured to transmit, to the user interface, an indication of at least one rule violation and information for resolving the at least one rule violation. The processing circuits further configured to receive, from the user interface, a response setting an exception and update the profile of the user, wherein updating comprises changing a classification of the profile of the user based on profile data consistent with the electronic transaction.

  • Publication number: 20230291550
    Abstract: A computing system can associate a customer device of a customer with a financial transaction record and the merchant, the financial transaction record indicative of a first purchase from the merchant by the customer, transmit a first query to the customer device prompting the customer to input information regarding an aspect of the first purchase, the first query including a description of a predetermined product parameter of the financial transaction record indicative of the first purchase from the merchant by the customer, authenticating, by the computing system, the first request by determining that the customer-input response to the first query corresponds to the established aspect of the first purchase in accordance with a predetermined accuracy threshold, and authorizing, by the computing system, connection of the customer device to the network provided by the merchant based at least in part on the first request being authenticated.

  • Patent number: 11580517
    Abstract: A method is provided. The method includes receiving a request to conduct a transaction with a merchant, requesting approval of the request, receiving approval of the request, verifying the transaction, receiving a first data, receiving a second data, determining a first distance between the first computing device and the second computing device based on the first and second data, determining that the first distance between the first computing device and second computing device satisfies a first predetermined distance threshold, receiving a third data, the third computing device being associated with the second user, determining a second distance between the third computing device and the second computing device based on the third and second data, determining that the second distance between the third computing device and the second computing device satisfies a second predetermined distance threshold, and approving the transaction.

  • Patent number: 11514456
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11416863
    Abstract: A computing system includes one or more processors and one or more computer-readable storage media communicatively connected to the one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon that, when executed, causes the one or more processors to receive a request from a user device to initiate an electronic transaction to a beneficiary, identify a risk associated with the beneficiary, calculate a risk score for the electronic transaction based on the risk, transmit a notification to the user device, wherein the notification causes display of one or more mitigation activities for reducing the risk, receive data from the user device associated with the one or more mitigation activities, compare the data with information corresponding to the beneficiary stored in a data store, recalculate the risk score based on the comparison, and transmit an electrical signal to the user device to cause the display of a result of the recalculation.

  • Patent number: 11233634
    Abstract: A computing system includes a network interface, a customer database, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit receives information indicative of a first purchase by a customer, establish an aspect of the first purchase as a network authentication credential for the customer, receive a first request to connect to the network from a customer device associated with the customer after completion of the first purchase, transmit a first query to the customer device prompting the customer to input information regarding the aspect of the first purchase, receive a customer-input response to the first query, authenticate the first request by determining that the customer-input response to the first query corresponds to the established aspect of the first purchase, and authorize connection of the customer device to the network based at least in part on the first request being authenticated.

  • Patent number: 11216816
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11017376
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a transaction initiation request from a first user via a first computing device. A first micro-location parameter relating to a micro-location of the first computing device is received. Approval of the transaction initiation request is requested from a second user via a second computing device. Approval of the transaction initiation request is received from the second user via the second computing device. A second micro-location parameter relating to a micro-location of the second computing device is received. The transaction is approved if the micro-locations of the first and second computing devices indicate that the first and second computing devices are at least a predetermined distance from each other.

  • Patent number: 10699276
    Abstract: 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.
