  • Publication number: 20250005118
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for verifying identities of users in connection with a secure meetup. One example computer-implemented method includes receiving meetup details from a first user for a real-world meetup with a second user, where the meetup details include a location of the meetup and an identity attribute(s) of the second user, and compiling and storing a meetup packet for the meetup details. The method then includes determining that a communication device of the first user is within a geofence of the location and, in response: authenticating the first user and sharing an identity attribute(s) of the first user with a second communication device of the second user. The method further includes receiving the identity attribute(s) specific to the second user from the second communication device, comparing the received identity attribute(s) to the meetup packet, and, based on a mismatch therebetween, indicating a warning to the first user.

  • Publication number: 20240304316
    Abstract: A computer system for analyzing data using AI modeling tools to detect anomalous data associated with a person. The computer system includes at least one processor and an AI model. The at least one processor is programmed to receive person data associated with the person including payment transaction records, input the person data into the at least one AI model to generate one or more outputs including (i) identifying anomalous data of the person, (ii) identifying at least one present need of the person from the anomalous data, and (iii) outputting a recommendation for addressing the at least one present need and transmit a notification message to a caregiver computer.

  • Publication number: 20240267370
    Abstract: A computing system including a processor in communication with a memory with instructions stored thereon is described. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive application data associated with a user and a first offering, identify whether the user qualifies for the first offering, and compare the application data with stored parameters associated with a second offering. The instructions further cause the processor to, based on the application data satisfying the stored parameters, cause display of a first display area and a second display area at a graphical user interface (GUI) of a user computing device wherein the first display area includes a confirmation indicating whether the user qualifies for the first offering, and the second display area includes a description of the second offering, receive an input indicating acceptance of the second offering, and initiate activation of credentials associated with the second offering.

  • Publication number: 20240249306
    Abstract: A driver monitoring (DM) computing device for monitoring driving behavior of a driver in real-time is provided. The DM computing device detects a user computer device associated with a driver inside the vehicle. The DM computing device collects state data of the user computer device. The state data includes data as to a state of the user computer device during a currently occurring trip. The DM computing device collects vehicle operation data of the vehicle while the driver and the user computer device are inside the vehicle. The DM computing device compares the collected vehicle operation data and the state data of the user computer device to determine whether the user computer device was activated during the currently occurring trip. The DM computing device causes a driving reward to be applied to an account associated with the driver for inactivity of the user computer device during the currently occurring trip.

  • Publication number: 20240104532
    Abstract: A token management computing system for provisioning at least one secure payment token for use in payment transactions is provided. The token management computing system includes a token storage device in communication with a plurality of user computing devices each associated with a respective user, and a token management (“TM”) server. The TM server is programmed to receive a token request for at least one token, generate, upon receiving the token request, the at least one token, wherein the at least one token includes at least one of i) a prepaid token including prepaid funds, ii) multiple tokens each associated with a different user, and iii) a budgeting token associated with a plurality of virtual budget accounts.

  • Publication number: 20230071323
    Abstract: A method for facilitating payment transactions includes receiving a transaction request for a payment transaction initiated at a payment terminal device using a transaction card of a user. A predefined category of the user is identified based on the transaction request and a service application is remotely activated in a first operation mode on a user device of the user such that the first operation mode is associated with the identified predefined category. Payment transaction messages associated with the payment transaction are communicated to the activated service application, which translates the payment transaction messages to a predefined message format. In response to the payment transaction messages, first authentication information is received from the activated service application such that the first authentication information is entered by the user in the predefined message format. The payment transaction is processed based on successful authentication of the user.
