Abstract: Systems and methods for making biometric data susceptible to use in locating individuals and tracking the location of individuals over time are provided. The system may involve the collection of initial biometric data, including iris scans, and corresponding identification information, the entry of such data into a database, and then the further collection of biometric data associated with locational information and entry of that data into a database correlating to the first database.

Abstract: Systems and methods for integrating facility access with other security systems are described. An individual seeking access authorization to a facility may be identified with a biometric parameter such as an iris scan. If authorized, the system may allow entry by disabling the alarm system, and a time period for access may be determined based on one or more characteristics associated with the individual. These characteristics may include the functional role of the individual at the facility and/or the location of the facility itself. Moreover, this facility access authorization system may be integrated with a network access authorization system associated with the facility so that when an individual gains access to the facility for a specific time period, the system is also able to determine how long the individual may access its network resources.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention provide for the use of transactional data in determining credit and product offerings. Further aspects of the invention provide for generating financial statements and indices using transactional data for use by users and/or financial institutions. The transactional based financial statements and indices may be used for making underwriting and financial planning decisions.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for providing a consumer with information about the balance of the consumer's credit or debit account after a transaction, such as a purchase transaction, is made using the credit or debit account. In one embodiment, the issuing bank attaches a number representing the balance of the consumer's credit or debit account and/or other information about the balance to the authorization code when authorizing a purchase transaction so that, when a vendor provides the consumer with a purchase receipt that has the authorization code on the receipt, the balance information is automatically included on the receipt with the authorization code. In this way, the consumer can keep track of spending by knowing the total balance of the consumer's credit and/or debit account and/or other balance information after each credit or debit card purchase.

Abstract: Systems and methods for inferring the success or failure of a third-party Marketing Effort Assays (MEAs) from the marketing efforts of that third party which follow up on the MEA are provided. The system may involve identifying Initial MEA Marketing Efforts (IMEs) by the use of keyword analysis, maintaining a database of such marketing efforts, and comparing those IMEs to later-observed follow-up marketing efforts. The system may further involve establishing geographically or demographically similar peer groupings and applying the inferred success or failure of the MEAs in one such peer group member to another such peer group member.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for evaluating risk of nonpayment for mobile payments. Wireless phone numbers with associated customer history and account information may be used as a proxy to determine risk of nonpayment. Risk scores may be continually updated with new purchase and payment information. In some embodiments, authorization for a point of sale transaction may include evaluation of the mobile wireless risk score. A low wireless number risk score may result in authorization of the transaction. A high wireless number risk score may result in denial of the transaction.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing the exposure of a financial institution to lending risk. The systems and methods may involve determining a basic credit limit for a customer's new credit card account based at least in part on attributes associated with the customer; assigning an adjusted credit limit to the account; and promising to decide whether to replace the adjusted credit limit with a higher credit limit.

Abstract: Real time facial images of individuals transacting accounts held in a bank facility are taken following the grant of authorization to the individual to access the account under the bank's required identification protocol, the real time facial images being matched to recorded facial images of account holders maintained by the bank to further authenticate the transacting individual as having authorized account access.
