Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for intercepting data exchange requests and automatically imposing a hold period while the data exchange is evaluated for a user profile initiating the request. One example system includes operations to detect a data exchange request prior to completion of the attempted data exchange, the data exchange request including information defining the attempted data exchange and associated wherein the attempted data exchange is associated with a particular user profile. A portion of the information is transmitted to a data exchange analysis system for execution of a user profile-specific data exchange analysis based on the information and a status of the user profile. A hold state is initiated for the data exchange request while the analysis is performed. The results of the analysis are presented and a confirmation to proceed is required before allowing the attempted data exchange to be processed.

Abstract: Devices and methods for providing alert notifications. The device includes an input module, a display, and memory having instructions. The device receives, via the input module, a first signal representing a command to set an alert condition associated with an identifier and, in response, generates the alert condition. The device transmits a second signal representing the alert condition to a monitoring system for setting up a targeted notification. The device receives a third signal representing an asserted alert indicating that the alert condition is satisfied and displays on the display, based on the third signal representing the asserted alert, an alert notification including the identifier and a first selectable option associated with a first application interface. In response to receiving, via the input module, a fourth signal representing selection of the first selectable option, the device displays the first application interface and auto-populates a first field based on the identifier.
