Abstract: Computer-implemented methods for automatically identifying and configuring transfer targets in a transaction system are disclosed. Such a method may include: identifying a location associated with a first account. The first account may be associated with an account holder. A set of known transfer targets associated with the identified location is identified. Based on transaction data for one or more accounts associated with the account holder, a processor identifies transactions involving the transfer targets. One or more transactions involving a particular one of the transfer targets may be determined to correspond to one or more transfers to the particular one of the transfer targets. A prompt for presentation by a client device to add the particular one of the transfer targets to a transfer interface may then be generated. Related systems and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
