Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing foreign transactions. An exemplary method may include providing, to a device of the user, instructions to display an application interface. The application interface may receive user requests to specify a foreign geographical area and to enable and disable the foreign transaction service in the foreign geographical area. The method may also include receiving, through the application interface, a request to enable the foreign transaction service. The method may include associating a transaction rule with the payment account. The transaction rule may define a condition upon which approval of a foreign transaction is permitted. The method may also include receiving a foreign transaction authorization request associated with the payment account. The method may also include approving the foreign transaction authorization request when the condition is met and declining the foreign transaction authorization request when the condition is not met.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for blocking charges from a merchant to a payment account of a user. An exemplary system may include one or more memory devices storing instructions and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform various operations. The operations may include receiving, from the user, a dispute request to dispute a charge to the payment account applied by the merchant. In response to the dispute request, the operations may include determining whether to block subsequent charges applied by the merchant to the payment account, based on a history of charging activities of the merchant. Responsive to a determination to block subsequent charges, the operations may include adding the merchant to a block-charge list associated with the payment account.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing a cash advance service associated with a payment account of a user. An exemplary method may include providing, to a device of the user, instructions to display an application interface, the application interface receiving user requests to enable and disable the cash advance service. The method may also include receiving, through the application interface, a request to enable the cash advance service. The method may further include associating a transaction rule with the payment account, the transaction rule defining a condition upon which approval of a cash advance transaction is permitted. The method may further include receiving a cash advance transaction authorization request associated with the payment account. The method may further include approving the cash advance transaction authorization request when the condition is met and declining the cash advance transaction authorization request when the condition is not met.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments generally relate to systems and methods for implementing user-authorized recurring transactions with trusted merchants for fraud prevention. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method is disclosed, in which a payment processing network receives a payment request via a computer network, and determines a payment account associated with the received payment request. The payment processing network determines that the payment account is unusable because fraudulent activity has been identified with the payment account, and that the payment request is a recurring payment request. The payment processing network transmits a fraud decline override request to a financial service provider system, and based on a fraud decline override response received from the financial service provider system, processes the payment request.
