  • Patent number: 11507957
    Abstract: A real-time fraud prevention system enables merchants and commercial organizations on-line to assess and protect themselves from high-risk users. A centralized database is configured to build and store dossiers of user devices and behaviors collected from subscriber websites in real-time. Real, low-risk users have webpage click navigation behaviors that are assumed to be very different than those of fraudsters. Individual user devices are distinguished from others by hundreds of points of user-device configuration data each independently maintains. A client agent provokes user devices to volunteer configuration data when a user visits respective webpages at independent websites. A collection of comprehensive dossiers of user devices is organized by their identifying information, and used calculating a fraud score in real-time. Each corresponding website is thereby assisted in deciding whether to allow a proposed transaction to be concluded with the particular user and their device.

  • Patent number: 11501304
    Abstract: A transaction classification system obtains a data set including first data associated with a first characteristic and second data associated with a second characteristic. In response to obtaining the data set, the system uses a classification model to generate a classification by classifying the first data into majority data and the second data into minority data. From the classification and using the classification model, the system determines a cost. The system modifies the classification model based on this cost to generate an updated classification model. The system uses the updated classification model to re-classify a subset of the first data into the minority data and a subset of the second data into the majority data.

  • Patent number: 11449871
    Abstract: A trusted transaction signal is passed from a merchant to an account provider. A merchant receives a payment account association with a transaction between a customer and the merchant, and determines a level of risk for the transaction. If the customer is unknown to the merchant, the trust level is determined to be a default trust level. If the customer is known to the merchant, then a risk assessment determines whether the trust level is the default trust level, or a second, greater, trust level. A transaction notification is sent to the account provider. When the trust level is the default level, the notification includes a merchant ID that identifies the merchant and signifies the default trust level for the transaction. When the trust level is the greater level, the notification includes a different merchant ID that also identifies the merchant, but represents the second trust level for the transaction.
