  • Patent number: 12223492
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for generating payment accessibility notifications for individuals with impairments. In one non-limiting example, a system includes a first computing device configured to identify a second computing device using a wireless communication protocol in a store location. A first notification for the first computing device is activated based at least in part on an accessibility type. A user interface is displayed for receiving client data, and the client data includes a product entered by a user. An expected amount is determined for the product based at least in part on the client data and transmitted to the second computing device. A pending amount for the product is received from the second computing device. A second notification is activated for the first computing device prior to a completion of the purchase based at least in part on the pending amount and the expected amount.

  • Publication number: 20230133354
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for predicting and customizing round-ups for various types of transaction. First, a computing device can access adjustment criteria for a user profile. The computing device can then generate an event listener configured to monitor events made in association with the user profile. When events are accessible by the event listener, the events are filtered or otherwise analyzed to identify a subset of the events that comply with the adjustment criteria. Individual ones of the events in the subset are adjusted by performing a round-up operation. The round-up operation can include adjusting a transaction amount by a predetermined amount and depositing the predetermined amount into the destination account.
