Publication number: 20180365708Abstract: A method and a system for creating, updating and processing a universal profile which includes an aggregation of previous transaction with multiple, distinct transaction entities. A universal profile (UP) manager creates a universal profile for an account. The universal profile comprises transaction data based on an aggregate of transactions with multiple, distinct transaction entities. The UP manager receives a universal profile preference indicating whether at least a portion of the transaction data is to be shared. The UP manager provides the transaction data to a particular transaction entity according to the universal profile preference. The UP manager receives, from the particular transaction entity, a transaction context comprising at least a portion of a transaction customized based on transaction data shared according to the universal profile preference.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2018Publication date: December 20, 2018Inventors: Sundar Amalan Vincent, Mark Delun Yuan
