Patent number: 10990966Abstract: A computer-implemented method for receipt management includes receiving, using a mobile wallet stored on a mobile device of a user, receipts that include a record of transactions between the user and one or more merchants, the transactions being performed using the mobile wallet account of the user. The method includes receiving receipts for transactions that were not performed using the mobile wallet account of the user, the receipts being received from a user e-mail address, the receipts for non-mobile wallet transactions being received by the mobile wallet of the user. The method includes aggregating the mobile wallet receipts with the receipts of non-mobile wallet transactions and retrieving and displaying one or more of the mobile wallet receipts and the receipts of non-mobile wallet transactions.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Stephen M.
