  • Patent number: 10776787
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure enable a system to provide notification services. The system receives account selection data associated with one or more cardholder accounts, identifies contact data corresponding to one or more issuer devices associated with the one or more cardholder accounts, generates notification data associated with the one or more cardholder accounts for notifying one or more issuers associated with the one or more cardholder accounts, receives transaction data associated with one or more financial transactions, and analyzes the received transaction data to generate wallet data corresponding to the transaction data for providing an opportunity to manage the one or more financial transactions. Aspects of the disclosure provide for transmitting notification data in an efficient and user-friendly manner.

  • Publication number: 20190026738
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in imposing a secondary authorization for network transactions. One exemplary method includes intercepting a request for a transaction to an account, when an account number included in the request and associated with the account is included in a secondary authorization data structure. The account is associated with a user involved in the transaction. The method further includes identifying a steward for the user from the secondary authorization data structure, transmitting a secondary request to the steward, at a communication device associated with the steward, based on contact information for the steward identified in the secondary authorization data structure, and permitting the request to proceed to an entity associated with the account when a response, from the steward, to the secondary request includes an approval for the transaction.

  • Publication number: 20180232720
    Abstract: A multi-account payment card (MPC) transaction computing device is configured to receive a first and second transaction request, wherein each transaction request includes a payment card account identifier and a portion of a payment transaction with a merchant to be paid using the payment card account. The MPC transaction computing device then generates a virtual card number (VCN) and transmits the VCN to a user computing device. The MPC transaction computing device further facilitates authorization of the payment transaction by separately conduction authorization for the first payment card account corresponding to the first transaction request and the second payment card account for the second portion of the payment transaction. The MPC transaction computing device then generates a VCN authorization confirmation message and transmits the VCN authorization confirmation message to the merchant.

  • Publication number: 20180144311
    Abstract: A virtual payment account (VPA) management computing device is described, the VPA management computing device configured to generate a jointly funded payment request and store a user-selected control. The VPA management computing device is also configured to establish a VPA associated with the jointly funded payment request, the VPA configured to receive funds from a plurality of payors. The VPA management computing device is further configured to reformat the user-selected controls into corresponding withdrawal restriction rules associated with the VPA, and store the withdrawal restriction rules. The VPA management computing device is also configured to receive a withdrawal request to withdraw at least a portion of the funds in the VPA, the withdrawal request including a plurality of data elements, to compare the data elements with the withdrawal restriction rules, and, when the data elements satisfy the withdrawal restriction rules, to approve the withdrawal request.

  • Publication number: 20170286961
    Abstract: A method, a non-transitory computer readable medium with computer executable instructions stored thereon, and a fraud prevention processor each prevent electronic fraud. An electronic communication is received from a resource via a network and it is determined whether the electronic communication includes a premium amount. When the electronic communication includes the premium amount, a difference between this premium amount and a captured premium amount received from a consumer is determined, and when the difference is greater than a predefined threshold, an alert is generated and sent to the consumer indicating the difference.
