  • Publication number: 20150100468
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for generating an e-receipt for an online banking transaction. The system, method, and computer program product are configured to receive an unstructured e-receipt from a financial institution, the unstructured e-receipt including parameters of an online banking transaction; identify unstructured data associated with the parameters; convert the unstructured data into structured data; and generate a structured e-receipt for the online banking transaction using at least the structured data. In some embodiments, the system associates the e-receipt with a transaction at the financial institution and provides the e-receipt to the customer. The e-receipt allows customers to have a record of an online banking transaction that may not typically have a paper trail. The e-receipt may be used for various purposes and may include structured data fields for ease of analysis.
