  • Publication number: 20150012436
    Abstract: A system and method in accordance with exemplary embodiments may include systems and methods for providing fraud management, which may include, receiving account holder data, determining vertical spend patterns associated with merchants to define a merchant risk for each merchant, generating a transactional behavior patter for the account holder, and generating a fraud score and/or action set (e.g., refer/decline/queue for review) based on the transactional behavior pattern and merchant risk. Account holder data may include, for example, an account type, an account balance, account credits and debits, and transaction data including merchant name, location, and transaction details.

  • Publication number: 20140279539
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for providing tipping suggestion services. A financial service provider configures a financial service account for a user. After the user makes a purchase at a merchant associated with leaving a tip, such as a restaurant, the financial service provider may determine metrics related to tipping, such as the user's own tipping behavior, or the tipping behavior of other users at the same merchant over time. The financial service provider may rapidly transmit the tipping metrics to a client device when a notification is received that a user has made a tip-eligible purchase, so that the user may factor the metrics into a decision of how much to tip in real time as the decision is being made.
