  • Patent number: 11748753
    Abstract: A clearing delay estimate may be employed that provides issuers with an accurate estimate for when a transaction will be cleared, thus providing more transparency to issuers to more efficiently manage funds. An algorithm may be employed to estimate clearance timing information and insert the timing information into communications with the issuer or other parties to a transaction involving a payment device. The estimated clearance timing information may be determined based on machine learning and other artificial intelligence techniques using historical data related to clearance timing for the particular entities involved in each transaction.

  • Publication number: 20220245516
    Abstract: Provided are methods for multi-task learning (MTL) in deep neural networks. An exemplary method may include receiving an MTL model; receiving a testing data set comprising testing data items for the MTL model, each testing data item comprising a plurality of elements, each element associated with a respective feature; grouping the features into a plurality of groups based on an impact of each feature on the tasks of the MTL model, determining an overall accuracy score and task-specific accuracy scores based on inputting the testing data to the MTL model; applying feature reduction evaluation (FRE) to provide a feature score for each feature; and adjusting the feature scores based on a respective grouping associated with the respective feature and at least one of the overall accuracy score, the task-specific accuracy scores, or any combination thereof to provide an adjusted feature score. Systems and computer program products are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11271934
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described that allow users to continue utilizing their user accounts and user devices associated with a first authorization entity for transactions conducting with a second authorization entity. A processor server computer may translate a first data set including first account identifier and a first verification value associated with a first authorization entity during authorization processing into a second data set including a second account identifier and a second verification value that can be processed by a second authorization entity. The processor server computer may modify an authorization request message based on the translated data set. The processor server computer may also enable the authorization request message to be routed to an appropriate authorization entity during authorization processing.

  • Patent number: 11157943
    Abstract: In one aspect, an account identifier is associated with a deal purchased by a user from a deal site. The deal has a face value applicable to a transaction with a predetermined merchant, if the transaction satisfies one or more predetermined criteria. The user pays the deal site an amount smaller than the face value. When the account identifier is used at a transaction terminal to initiate a payment transaction, a transaction handler determines whether the payment transaction satisfies the one or more predetermined criteria; and if so, the transaction handler provides the transaction terminal with an authorization response identifying the remaining balance, which is determined by deducting the face value from the payment transaction. The account identifier may be a one-time account number generated specifically for the deal purchased by the user, or an account number of the user used to purchase the deal from the deal site.

  • Patent number: 10424171
    Abstract: Systems and methods for transferring resource access from a sender to a recipient are disclosed that can allow a sender to specify an amount of a resource to provide access to (e.g., an amount of money or an amount of access rights), while still providing security for the sender's sensitive credential information (e.g., PAN and/or PIN). These systems and methods can allow a sender to transfer resource access from any location and at any time of the day. In the case of money transfers, the recipient can quickly and directly obtain the money from any ATM location associated with any bank and at any time of the day, even without a bank account.
