  • Patent number: 8504456
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for integrated risk management. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention provides for determining one or more activity baseline scores, each score associated with one or more activities and based at least in part on financial institution data from multiple financial institutions. The activity baseline score defines a normal risk or baseline activity for a customer, a customer segment or customer population. Further, the invention provides for monitoring at least the financial institution data to determine deviations from the activity baseline score(s) and generating and initiating communication of risk score alerts and/or activity baseline deviation alerts based on predetermined activity baseline deviations. Additional embodiments provide for determining a risk score based on risk patterns associated with financial institution data and, in some embodiments, non-financial institution data.

  • Publication number: 20110131122
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for integrated risk management. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention provides for determining one or more behavioral baseline scores, each score associated with one or more behaviors and based at least in part on financial institution data from multiple financial institutions. The behavioral baseline score defines a normal risk or baseline behavior for a customer, a customer segment or customer population. Further, the invention provides for monitoring at least the financial institution data to determine deviations from the behavioral baseline score(s) and generating and initiating communication of risk score alerts and/or behavioral baseline deviation alerts based on predetermined behavioral baseline deviations.

  • Publication number: 20110131131
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for integrated risk assessment and mitigation. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide for determining risk patterns and, in particular embodiments, emerging risk patterns associated with emerging risk, based on a combination of, or in some embodiments all, financial institution data from multiple financial institutions, data aggregator data, non-financial institution data, negative activity data and/or risk deviation data. As a result of the determination of risk patterns, risk pattern alerts may be communicated to designated recipients for the purpose of managing the risk. In additional embodiments, a health risk indicator is determined that indicates the current condition of risk for a customer, a company, an industry or industry segment.
