  • Publication number: 20190236480
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a multi-layer fraud identification and risk analysis system. For example, the system may receive a plurality of first scores associated with borrower users and a dealer user based at least in part upon output of the first ML model. The system may receive a request from a lender user device for a second score, where the dealer user and the lender user device are associated according to a correlative score. The plurality of applications and the correlative score may be used as input to the second ML model that quantifies the risk of the dealer user specifically to the lender user, based on attributes associated with the application data, dealer user, and/or lender user. Output from the second ML model may be provided to the lender user device.

  • Publication number: 20190236695
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a multi-layer fraud identification and risk analysis system. For example, the system may receive application data from a first borrower user, apply application data to one or more machine learning (ML) models, and receive a first score based at least in part upon output of the ML model that is associated with the first borrower user. The system may aggregate scores associated with multiple borrower users to a cumulative dealer user level. The aggregated first scores associated with the dealer user, as well as other corresponding application data, may be provided as input to a second ML model. Output from the second ML model may be associated with the dealer user as a second score.

  • Patent number: 10296930
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for providing offers to a mobile device includes receiving at least one offer from at least one merchant at an offer computer system and determining, by the offer computer system, an offer to present on the mobile device based on at least one characteristic of a user of the mobile device, the offer providing the user a discount from a price of a product or service. The method includes receiving a request for a code to provide to a merchant, the code being generated for the mobile device that belongs to the user. The method includes receiving, from a mobile device, an indication from the user to use the offer and sending, by the offer computer system, to the mobile device an offer code to be displayed on the mobile device to be received by a merchant.

  • Patent number: 10049355
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method that includes receiving, by a messaging hub computer system, from a point of sale (POS) device of a merchant, a request to process a refund for a transaction that occurred between the merchant and a mobile device of a payor, the request comprising a previously used code that was exchanged between the POS device and the mobile device. The method includes determining, by the messaging hub computer system, a first financial institution based at least partially on a portion of the code, and receiving, from a computer system of the first financial institution, payment credential information of an account held by the payor to process the refund using the payment credential information. The method may further include transferring, by the messaging hub computer system, the refund from an account held by the merchant to the account held by the payor.
