Abstract:
A common point of purchase (CPP) system for identifying a common point of purchases involved in fraudulent or unauthorized payment transactions is provided. The CPP system includes a common point of purchase (CPP) computing device that is configured to receive transaction data, store the transaction data in a database, and perform a look up within the database. The CPP computing device is also configured to build a merchant table, receive a card list, and compare a plurality of flagged account identifiers in the card list to account identifiers in the merchant table. The CPP computing device is further configured to retrieve a unique merchant identifier and/or a merchant name identifier associated with the merchant table account identifiers matched with the flagged account identifiers, aggregate the unique merchant identifier using the merchant name identifier, and determine a first number of the flagged account identifiers associated with the merchant name identifier.
Abstract:
The methods described herein are configured to obtain a first record pattern associated with the unidentified entity and select a second record pattern associated with an entity identifier of a known entity. Based on the first record pattern matching the second record pattern, the entity identifier of the known entity is associated to the unidentified entity to indicate that the unidentified entity and the known entity are the same. Determining the entity identifier of the unidentified entity enables the linking of separate identifier systems of data structures to facilitate communication and/or interaction between the data structures.
Abstract:
An analytics computing system for analyzing payment transaction data to identify merchants having a recurring payment program is provided. The analytics computing system is configured to receive first payment transaction data for a plurality of transactions associated with a merchant, generate an actual transaction amount distribution, compare the actual transaction amount distribution to a stored model distribution, compare an angle distance to a predefined threshold value, and identify whether the merchant is a merchant performing recurring payment transactions. The analytics computing system is also configured to store that the merchant is a recurring payment merchant and alert an analyst that the merchant is a recurring payment merchant by transmitting an alert message to a user computing device in communication with the analytics computing device.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for identifying advertising opportunities for subsequent events, based on event data and transaction data for similar prior events. One exemplary method includes accessing event data associated with a prior event where the event data includes tags associated with the prior event, and accessing transaction data for consumers based on transactions by the consumers involving merchants associated with the prior event. The method also includes compiling an aggregate consumer profile for the consumers based on the accessed transaction data, where the profile includes categories of transactions included in the transaction data. The method further includes causing an insight interface to be delivered to a user associated with a subsequent event based on the aggregate consumer profile and the event data, whereby the user is able to identify potential advertising opportunities for the subsequent event via the insight interface for the prior event.
Abstract:
An enhanced smart refrigerator (ESR) for automatically populating a virtual shopping cart is provided. The ESR stores a purchase log including a purchase history of a target product. The ESR determines a current interval between a most recent delivery date and a proposed next delivery date based on the purchase history of the target product, and calculates a purchase propensity for the target product based on the current interval and the purchase history of the target product, and automatically adds the product to the virtual shopping cart for submission to a party for purchase of the target product if the purchase propensity meets a first criteria.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for determining a level of confidence that a payment transaction is not fraudulent is provided. The method is implemented using an assurance exchange (AE) computer device in communication with a memory. The method includes receiving authentication data associated with a candidate payment transaction being conducted by a cardholder via a website associated with a merchant from the merchant, storing the authentication data, receiving an authorization request message for the candidate payment transaction from a payment processor, retrieving the authentication data for the candidate payment transaction based on the authorization request message, and calculating an assurance level score based on the authentication data and the authorization request message. The assurance level score represents a level of confidence that the candidate payment transaction is not fraudulent. The method also includes transmitting the authorization request message including the assurance level score to an issuer processor.
Abstract:
A computing system for detecting patterns in data transmitted over a network is provided. The computing system includes a model engine configured to receive an initial dataset including historical data for a first time period, and segment the initial dataset into a plurality of subsets, each subset associated with a second time period smaller than the first time period. The model engine is further configured to train a machine learning model on each subset separately, receive a candidate dataset, analyze the candidate dataset using the trained machine learning model, and assign a score to the candidate dataset based on the analysis. The computing system further includes a rules engine configured to receive the candidate dataset and the corresponding score from the model engine, and generate and output, based at least in part on the score, a decision regarding the candidate dataset.
Abstract:
An artificial intelligence (AI)-based prediction recommender system is provided. The system includes a processor configured to generate a first matrix using a large language merchant transaction model including transaction data associated with a first plurality of users; generate a second matrix using a large language product transaction model including transaction data associated with a second plurality of users; generate a third matrix including transaction data associated with a third plurality of users; generate a preference vector associated with at least one accountholder wherein the preference vector representing historical purchases initiated by the accountholder with a second plurality of merchants; iteratively calculate a propagated activation vector by mathematically combining the first matrix, the second matrix, the third matrix and the preference vector; and output a recommendation associated with the at least one accountholder using the propagated activation vector.
Abstract:
A method and system for detecting fraudulent network events in a payment card network by incorporating breach velocities into fraud scoring models are provided. A potential compromise event is detected, and payment cards that transacted at a compromised entity associated with the potential compromise event are identified. Subsequent transaction activity for the payment cards is reviewed, and a data structure for the payment cards are generated. The data structure sorts subsequent transaction activity into fraud score range stripes. The data structure is parsed over a plurality of time periods, and at least one cumulative metric is calculated for each of the time periods in each fraud score range stripe. A plurality of ratio striping values are determined, and a set of feature inputs is generated using the ratio striping values. The feature inputs are applied to a scoring model used to score future real-time transactions initiated using the payment cards.
Abstract:
A method and system for recommending a merchant are provided. The method includes receiving financial transaction data documenting financial transactions between a plurality of account holders and a plurality of merchants and generating a merchant correspondence matrix that includes the plurality of merchants and a plurality of indicators of interactions associated with pairs of the plurality of merchants. The plurality of indicators of interactions tallying financial transactions conducted by the plurality of account holders at both of the merchants in a pair of the plurality of merchants. The method further includes receiving a query for a recommendation of a merchant from an account holder and generating a ranked list of merchants based on a recommender algorithm. The recommender algorithm inferring user preferences from attributes of the plurality of merchants that were visited by the cardholder.
