  • Publication number: 20240152927
    Abstract: A method for providing an indication of financial strength includes receiving a financial indicator and a predetermined spending budget status from a user. The predetermined spending budget status is associated with a spending budget for the user that has at least one payment account. The financial indicator is then associated with the predetermined spending budget status. A payment request that includes one of the at least one payment accounts is then received from a merchant. A current spending budget status is then determined using the spending budget and the at least one payment account. The financial indicator is then sent to the merchant for provision to the user in response to the current spending budget status being included in the predetermined spending budget status.

  • Patent number: 11972432
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing risk determination in a crypto currency transaction include receiving, through a network via a broadcast by a first payer device, a first crypto currency transaction that includes a first payee public address. A first request for a determination of risk associated with the first crypto currency transaction is then identified in the first crypto currency transaction, with the first request including risk criteria. A first payee involved in the first crypto currency transaction is then identified using the first payee public address, and first payee risk information is accessed via at least one external risk information database based on the identification of the first payee. If it is determined that the first payee risk information satisfies the at least one risk criteria in the first request, the first crypto currency transaction is provided for addition to a block in a crypto currency public ledger.

  • Patent number: 11829704
    Abstract: Dynamic web content personalization may be used to alter a web page such that two different people who view that web page do not see the exact same content on that page. The present disclosure includes techniques that allow a web page to be structured, via underlying source code, so that content can be dynamically generated based on a user transaction history. Further, dynamic content customization can effectively change the layout and functionality of a web page in ways not previously contemplated. For example, different control elements may become accessible based on a particular contextual user profile assigned to a user based on a transaction history. Modular content modules may also have a different appearance for different users.

  • Publication number: 20230351363
    Abstract: A system, including: a non-transitory memory; and one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations including: receiving a transaction request from an endpoint device on a network, wherein the endpoint device is registered with a transaction service provider; locating, based on the transaction request, an authorization token corresponding to a payment mechanism, wherein the authorization token is stored to a memory device of the router; in response to receiving the transaction request, transmitting the authorization token to the transaction service provider to retrieve transaction information from the transaction service provider, wherein the transaction information includes payment data for a user of the endpoint device; and transmitting the transaction information to the upstream network location, wherein the upstream network location includes a merchant server.

  • Patent number: 11621827
    Abstract: Blockchain validation is provided by receiving a first validation request of a blockchain. A hashing algorithm is applied to a first block of the blockchain to generate a first hash value. In response to the first validation request of the blockchain, a first image from a plurality of images is provided on a display device. The first image is selected to be provided for display on the display device based on the first hash value. The first image may be compared to a second image that was provided for display on the display device prior to the first validation request and that image was provided based on a second hash value to determine whether the first image and the second image are substantially similar, which indicates that no changes have been made to the data in the blockchain.

  • Patent number: 11538033
    Abstract: A dispute resolution cryptocurrency sidechain system includes a system provider that determines that a transaction amount for a transaction has been received at a first public ledger address on a public ledger from a second public ledger address and, in response, allocates a sidechain address on a dispute resolution sidechain ledger. The system provider then sends, through a network to a payer and a payee involved in the transaction, the sidechain address, and monitors the sidechain address for dispute communications. Based on detecting a first dispute communication that is received at the sidechain address and that is signed using a private key that identifies the payer, the system provider device causes a portion of the transaction amount that was received at the first public ledger address to be sent to the second public ledger address.

  • Publication number: 20220164780
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, devices, and the like for enabling teller based services using an encryption based shared architecture. The teller based service is provided by at least one node or entity in a blockchain. A request and communication between the at least one node and a user, with indication of the node geolocation and ability to provide teller services is exchanged. The node provides access to cash, enables the verification of the user, and updates the ledger upon completion of the transaction.
