  • Patent number: 8645245
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for optimizing amounts collected in an offset action where a creditor attaches funds from a debtor's deposits account to satisfy overdue debt payments. In operation, embodiments of the present invention leverage a deposits account's transaction history to detect a deposit pattern for the account and, based on the detected pattern, predict the date of the next large deposit to the attachable account. An offset associate, using the present invention, can then schedule the offset action to occur on the expected date of the next large deposit.

  • Publication number: 20100274630
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention provide for the use of transactional data in the forecasting of an index score, such as a financial index that predicts market conditions. Such forecasting may better prepare individuals and entities for depressed economic conditions. A comparison engine may be configured to compare the financial variable of the transactional data and the transactional data's date against an index score of an index on a date to determine the correlation of at least a portion of transactions represented by the transactional data with the index score. A selection engine may be configured to select a portion of transactions that are more correlated to the index than other transactions. An index score may be forecasted with the selected transactions. Additional transactional data may be extracted from one or more physical documents, such as an invoice, a statement, and/or commercial paper.
