Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for verifying and/or confirming merchant data for multiple different transactions. One method generally includes accessing merchant data for a merchant where the merchant data includes a master merchant identifier for the merchant, and querying, by a computing device, multiple users as to which of a list of merchant data entries, for multiple different transactions and including different merchant identifiers, corresponds to the master merchant identifier for the merchant. The users are associated with a location within a predefined distance of the confirmed merchant and/or have performed one or more purchase transactions at the merchant. The method also generally includes receiving, at the computing device, a response from at least one of the users, in which the at least one of the users selects a data entry from the list, and determining whether to proceed in querying additional users.
