  • Publication number: 20220383323
    Abstract: A payment and authentication network may include a communications interface, one or more processors, and a memory. The memory may have instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to receive, using the communications interface, transaction information associated with a transaction from a merchant system and generate a fraud risk score based on the transaction information. The instructions may cause the one or more processors to determine that the fraud risk score is indicative that the transaction is likely fraudulent and transmit an alert to a user device that informs a user of the user device that the transaction is likely fraudulent prior to generating an approval decision for the transaction.

  • Patent number: 11210670
    Abstract: A method including collecting transactional information from a mobile application on the mobile device. The mobile device can be used by a user to initiate an activity at a risk moment. The method also can include aggregating a set of risk signals. The method additionally can include obtaining a first set of risk rules for a model specific to the activity requested by the user. Each risk rule of the first set of risk rules can define weights when the risk rule is triggered based on one or more risk signals of the set of risk signals. The method further can include executing a risk engine using the first set of risk rules for the model and using the set of risk signals to generate a risk score. The risk score can be based on the weights of triggered risk rules of the first set of risk rules. The method additionally can include generating a disposition based on a comparison of the risk score to one or more predefined thresholds scores for the model.

  • Publication number: 20180082369
    Abstract: In order to prevent false positives at a duplicate transaction detection system, channel deposit data from financial institutions (representing the manner of presentment of checks at those institutions) are provided to a channel mapping/monitoring system.
