Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying an account via a hash key specific to the account and presented to a third party, in connection with a network interaction. One example method includes receiving, by a computing device, from the third party, the hash key in connection with the network interaction, determining a primary account number (PAN) for the account based on the hash key, and identifying an issuer of the account based on the determined PAN. The method also includes transmitting a verification request to the issuer, to verify details of the account, and receiving a code from the issuer indicative of the verification. The method further includes intercepting an authorization request for the network interaction based on the authorization request including the hash key and, in response to the authorization request further including said code, directing the authorization request to the issuer.

Abstract: A system and a method for optimizing supply of rental vehicles, comprising receiving customer data associated with a plurality of customers from a plurality of sources; classifying the customers into a plurality of segments, based on said data, each segment being indicative of vehicle rental preferences of customers in the segment; determining whether any customers have already opted for a vehicle rental; determining the destination and source location of the customer and predicting likely vehicle demand for different vehicles based on said classification and said determination.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to an electronic system and method for management of cash in automated teller machines (ATMs). The system comprises a server operative within a financial network, the server including a processor and a memory configured to store computer-readable instructions. When the instructions are executed, the processor performs steps of the method, comprising: obtaining location data and historical data on cash withdrawals of each ATM of the financial network; identifying a group of ATMs within a predefined zone based on the location data; calculating an expected combined cash withdrawal amount of the group of ATMs for a subsequent time period based on the cash withdrawals historical data; and computing cash replenishment details for a subset of the group of ATMs based on the expected combined cash withdrawal amount, wherein the cash replenishment details aims to maintain a positive cash balance in the subset of ATMs during the subsequent time period.

Abstract: A computer system for incentivizing a user for payment card usage, includes a memory device configured to store machine-readable instructions and a processor operably connected with the memory device. The processor obtains the machine-readable instructions from the memory device, and is configured by the machine-readable instructions to receive merchant transaction data pertaining to a merchant, determine a first variable from the merchant transaction data, receive user transaction data pertaining to a customer of the merchant, the customer being a user of a payment card, the user transaction data having a card component and a cash component, determine a second variable associated with the card component, from the user transaction data, determine a third variable associated with the cash component, from the user transaction data, and provide one or more rule based incentives to the customer, on a basis of the second variable and the third variable.
