  • Patent number: 11397950
    Abstract: Devices and methods for securing electronic transactions in a computing network are configured to receive a transaction, access transaction contextual data for the transaction, and apply one or more authentication decision rules to the transaction contextual data to determine initial authentication assessment information for the transaction. Further, aspects are configured to convert the initial authentication assessment information into a condensed authentication assessment indicator having an assessment value selected from a plurality of assessment values based on an assessment value definition, and transmit the condensed authentication assessment indicator. Also, aspects receive a transaction authentication decision based in part on the condensed authentication assessment indicator, and process or deny processing of the transaction based on the transaction authentication decision.

  • Patent number: 10984422
    Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to a computer device including a memory, and at least one processor configured to process a transaction. The computer device receives customer transaction information. The computer device evaluates the customer transaction information to determine a risk score for the transaction. The computer device assigns the transaction, based on the risk score, to one of a plurality of stratums including at least a first stratum and a second stratum. The computer device selects a merchant identifier (MID) from at least a first MID associated with the first stratum and a second MID associated with the second stratum based on at least the assigned stratum and a target chargeback rate for at least one of the first MID or the second MID. The computer device transmits the transaction information and the selected MID to an issuing bank.

  • Publication number: 20210097539
    Abstract: A system is described herein for managing digital transactions over a network with incomplete information. The system includes a data collection component and a transaction control component that may employ a prospective control model that is trained with fully matured data as well as partially matured data regarding past digital transactions. The transaction control component is configured to estimate an inauthentic rate of inauthentic digital transactions being wrongly approved for a current time period. A set of future reference values may be determined based on the estimated inauthentic rate. The set of future reference values relate to a predicted future decision made for the digital transaction. A set of current values may be determined based on the set of future reference values. Based on the set of current values, the transaction control component may determine whether the digital transaction should be rejected as inauthentic or approved as authentic.
