Patent number: 10990971Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for non-intrusive geo-location determination associated with transaction authorization. The invention enables one or more transactions initiated by a user to be authenticated and/or validated based on, at least in part, determined locations of the user relative to the locations of the one or more transactions. The user location is determined by transmitting one or more queries to a user device. The system determines the validity of the one or more transactions based on at least comparing the transaction location to the user location, before enabling further processing of the one or more transactions. The present invention is advantageous since it enables authentication/authorization of one or more transactions associated with the user by utilizing the user location, while precluding any inadvertent privacy concerns.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Gregory Joseph Lloyd, Lauren Marie Zavodny, Tony England, Stephen Philip Selfridge, James Gregory Ronca

Publication number: 20170091757Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for improving the digital wallet storage system by providing hardware and software capable of provisioning, allocating, and compartmentalizing generated tokens for transaction utilization. In this way, the invention allows a user to switch out payment vehicles, payment accounts, merchants, or authorized user for one or more tokens. Thus the provisioning and allocation system allows for manipulation and provisioning of tokens, such that a user device may control the one or more payment accounts, payment vehicles, authorized users, time/date of use, and the like for each token accumulated by a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2015Publication date: March 30, 2017Inventors: Gregory Joseph Lloyd, James Gregory Ronca, Lauren Marie Zavodny, Stephen Philip Selfridge, Andrew D.

Publication number: 20170091765Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for authorizing payment credentials and transactions associated with a user digital wallet by automatic and real time utilization of one or more payment credentials applicable and optimal for a transaction initiated by the user. The invention enables a mobile digital wallet application on a user device to determine optimal payment credentials based on one or more transaction parameters comprising geographic location, transaction amount and user authentication associated with the transaction. Transmission of the optimal payment credential causes the receiving system to recognize the one or more transaction parameters and enables the system to process the transaction in accordance with the geographic location, transaction amount and/or the user authentication.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2015Publication date: March 30, 2017Inventors: Gregory Joseph Lloyd, Lauren Marie Zavodny, Tony England, Stephen Philip Selfridge, James Gregory Ronca

Publication number: 20170091758Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for payment vehicle agnostic payment tokenization. In this way, the invention provides a means for a user to use a token for a transaction at a merchant without the merchant making infrastructural changes. The token may be specifically coded for merchant recognition and identification that the merchant's infrastructure is not capable of processing the received token. Instead of declining the transaction, code is implemented into the token that the merchant recognizes and routes the token to the invention infrastructure for authorization. The infrastructure then correlates the token to the appropriate account and finalizing authorization and payment routing based on the correlation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2015Publication date: March 30, 2017Inventors: Andrew D.

Publication number: 20170068952Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to electronic collection, display and association of payment credentials or tokens by providing a comprehensive management platform for managing multiple digital wallets. The invention provides an integrated digital wallet management interface that enables the user to view and modify the payment credentials or tokens associated with the multiple wallets, stored at different locations, without requiring the user to access the payment credentials or tokens thorough conventional channels separately. In this regard, the integrated digital wallet management interface may display one or more payment credentials on a dashboard on a user mobile device along with one or more characteristics of the payment credentials. Embodiments of the invention are also directed to authenticate the user and enable the user to initiate one or more transactions associated with the payment credentials or tokens from a single interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2015Publication date: March 9, 2017Inventors: Tammy L.

Publication number: 20150006340Abstract: Embodiments of the invention comprise systems, computer program products, and methods for a payment transparency tool that enables users (e.g., employees and/or customers) to identify the rules for payment assessments, the reasons that specific payments were assessed on customer accounts, and the criteria for avoiding future payments. The payment transparency tool compiles and analyzes payment assessment data for various customer accounts, identifies customer account information for the accounts, and creates customized views for users to present clear explanations and data to address payment assessment questions. In some embodiments multiple payments assessed on multiple customer accounts may be presented to a user in an interface through a consolidated payment assessment list. Within an interface a user can view data related to the date a payment was assessed, the type of payment, the payment amount, payment rules, customer-specific reasons for the payment assessment, and avoidance rules.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2013Publication date: January 1, 2015Inventors: Gregory Joseph Lloyd, Melissa Christine Derville Hart, Amy Marson Fistner, Paula Christine Hanson, Joseph Neil Johansen, Traci Leigh Johnston Plyler, Preston J.
