  • Publication number: 20110022628
    Abstract: A computer system processes a merchant name from transaction data to determine a matched merchant name. The computer system retrieves a retrieved merchant name from transaction data, obtains a processed merchant name from the retrieved merchant name, and matches the processed merchant name to one of a collection of standard merchant names, where the retrieved merchant name may be a name variation of a standard merchant name. At least one character of the retrieved merchant name may be altered to obtain the processed merchant name. For example, characters may be deleted from the accessed merchant name or characters may be ignored from a portion of the retrieved merchant name.
