  • Patent number: 8805730
    Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring trigger data quality are provided herein. The systems and methods detect and report whether the current trigger counts are normal or flawed in real time. The systems and methods monitor the triggers to determine the accuracy, completeness, domain of values, and format of the trigger data. In the system and methods, account data associated with the one or more accounts is received and stored in a storage device; the account data is segregated into one or more periods of time; triggers associated with the one or more periods of time are identified based on transactions that occur during the one or more periods of time; a total transaction count for each of the triggers is calculated; and control limits are determined based on the transaction count for each of the triggers.
