  • Patent number: 8275683
    Abstract: Systems and methods may be provided for deposit prediction based upon an example Monte Carlo analysis. The system and methods may include receiving deposit information associated with a plurality of deposits for a deposit account of a financial institution customer, where the deposit information includes a plurality of deposit amounts, and a respective date associated with each of the plurality of deposit amounts; applying a Monte Carlo analysis to at least a portion of the received deposit information; and identifying, based upon the applied Monte Carlo analysis, a largest total monetary amount that can be expected to be deposited within a time interval according to a predetermined confidence level.

  • Publication number: 20090327123
    Abstract: A method for minimizing overdraft charge-off in a bank account includes: (a) identifying a plurality of factors that can result in a bank account charge-off; (b) building a case history database of bank account holder information based upon a plurality of data elements associated with each of the plurality of factors; (c) creating numeric and/or categorical representations of the bank account holder information for each of the bank accounts in the case history database; (d) tabulating the numeric and/or categorical representations and the data elements for the bank accounts in the case history database; (e) combining certain ones of the numeric and/or categorical representations to separate the bank accounts in the case history database into a plurality of risk groups, each risk group having an associated probability of charge-off; and (f) optimizing, for each of the plurality of risk groups, a bank profit, by setting overdraft limits.
