Abstract: A computer-based method for communicating liability acceptance for payment card transactions is provided. The method uses a computer device including a processor and a memory. The method includes receiving, by the processor, a transaction authorization request message for a payment card transaction having a default-liable party. The transaction authorization request message includes a shifted-liability acceptance indicator identifying a different party to the transaction that accepts liability for the payment card transaction. The method also includes authorizing the payment card transaction based at least in part on the shifted-liability acceptance indicator. The shifted-liability acceptance indicator changes the liability for the payment card transaction from the default-liable party to the different party accepting liability.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining a level of confidence that a payment transaction is not fraudulent is provided. The method is implemented using an assurance exchange (AE) computer device in communication with a memory. The method includes receiving authentication data associated with a candidate payment transaction being conducted by a cardholder via a website associated with a merchant from the merchant, storing the authentication data, receiving an authorization request message for the candidate payment transaction from a payment processor, retrieving the authentication data for the candidate payment transaction based on the authorization request message, and calculating an assurance level score based on the authentication data and the authorization request message. The assurance level score represents a level of confidence that the candidate payment transaction is not fraudulent.

Abstract: A method and system for creating an assurance level based on authentication data attributes using a computer device coupled to a database are provided. The method includes receiving an authorization request associated with the financial transaction from the sender, the authorization request including a fraud risk assessment of the financial transaction determined by the sender using an authentication response received from the computer device by the sender, the authorization request including one or more reason codes associated with the sender fraud risk assessment. The method further includes transmitting the received authorization request to an issuer associated with the cardholder.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable storage medium configured to store a premium list of accounts of ATM cardholders, wherein the list includes primary account numbers (PANs) associated with the accounts of the ATM cardholders, and to allow the ATM transaction to proceed unblocked if the PAN of the transaction appears on the premium list even if the transaction would otherwise be blocked by the controller based on one or more fraud prevention rules.

Abstract: A method and system for creating an assurance level based on authentication data attributes using a computer device coupled to a database are provided. The method includes receiving an authorization request associated with the financial transaction from the sender, the authorization request including a fraud risk assessment of the financial transaction determined by the sender using an authentication response received from the computer device by the sender, the authorization request including one or more reason codes associated with the sender fraud risk assessment. The method further includes transmitting the received authorization request to an issuer associated with the cardholder.

Abstract: A method for privacy protection in use of geolocation for transaction authorization includes: storing location profiles including a device identifier and account identifier; receiving a location notification including a specific device identifier and a geolocation; identifying a specific location profile including the specific device identifier; transmitting the geolocation and the account identifier in the specific location profile to a second computing device; receiving, at the second computing device, a transaction message related to a payment transaction including an account number corresponding to the account identifier, a transaction location, and authorization data; determining if the geolocation corresponds to the transaction location; storing a result of the determination in the authorization data; and transmitting the transaction message to a financial institution associated with a transaction account corresponding to the account number.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a request to provision a payment profile to a payment service facility. The method further includes determining source selection criteria applicable to the provisioning request. In addition, the method includes selecting an information source based at least in part on the determined source selection criteria. Still further, input is requested from the selected information source and is received from the selected information source. Based at least in part on the received input, decision-making is facilitated with respect to the provisioning request.

Abstract: A method and system for correlating cardholder identity attributes on a payment card interchange network using a computer device coupled to a database are provided. The method includes storing at a central store, personally identifiable information from an issuer for a plurality of payment card cardholders, the personally identifiable information encrypted to prevent payment card transaction data from being associated with the personally identifiable information, receiving, from a merchant, personally identifiable information during a payment card transaction, encrypting the received personally identifiable information, and comparing the encrypted stored personally identifiable information to the encrypted received personally identifiable information to determine a risk of fraud during the payment card transaction.

Abstract: A method and system for evaluating a risk of fraud in a payment card transaction using a computer device coupled to a database are provided. The method includes receiving payment card transaction messages relating to a payment card account wherein the payment card transaction messages relate to interactions with a cardholder, an issuer of the payment card account, or an agent thereof. The method further includes receiving payment card account reputation messages that include historical data relating to the trustworthiness of the payment card account, comparing at least one data element in each payment card transaction messages to at least one data element in at least one of: the payment card reputation message and prior transaction history, and determining at least one of a risk of fraud of the transaction and a trustworthiness of the payment card account based on the comparison.
