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.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for authenticating an online user with an access control server (ACS) is provided. The method includes receiving, at a risk-based authentication enabled (RBA-enabled) directory server, an authentication request message including authentication data, extracting, using the RBA-enabled directory server, the authentication data from the authentication request message, transmitting the extracted authentication data to an RBA engine, generating, using the RBA engine, based at least in part on the extracted authentication data, RBA result data including a risk score, a risk analysis, and at least one reason code, transmitting the RBA result data to the RBA-enabled directory server, embedding, using the RBA-enabled directory server, the RBA result data into the authentication request message to generate an enhanced authentication request message, and transmitting the enhanced authentication request message to the ACS to enable the ACS to make an authentication decision based on the RBA result data.

Abstract: An inverse recommender system for detecting out-of-pattern payment transactions includes a memory device and a processor programmed to receive transaction data. The transaction data corresponds to historical payment transactions between account holders and merchants. The processor is programmed to generate a merchant correspondence matrix including the merchants and counters indicating the number of historical payment transactions between merchant pairs of the merchants and the account holders. The processor is programmed to store the merchant correspondence matrix in a memory device linking the merchant pairs to each account holder. The processor receives additional transaction data associated with a new payment transaction between an account holder and a merchant, and to generate an inverse recommender score for the new payment transaction based on the account holder's historical payment transaction data. The account holder's historical payment transaction data includes historical payment transaction data associated with the merchants visited by the account holder.

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 computer-implemented method for authenticating an online user includes steps including receiving, from a requestor server in communication with a merchant website, an authentication request message including authentication data collected from a user computing device during an online interaction with the merchant website. The steps also include extracting the authentication data from the authentication request message, and applying a risk-based authentication (RBA) engine to the authentication data to obtain RBA result data including a reason code that includes no more than three bytes of data. The steps further include causing the reason code to be embedded in an authorization request message generated during the online interaction and routed to a decisioning server via a payment network. The authorization request message is formatted according to a set of proprietary communications standards promulgated by the payment network for exchange of data between institutions that are members of the payment network.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for classifying incoming payment transactions. A fraud classification computing system includes a historical transaction database for storing a plurality of transaction records associated with a respective plurality of historical transactions. The fraud classification computing system receives a current transaction request message associated with a current payment transaction. The fraud classification computing system applies a multi-class fraud prediction model to the current transaction request message to generate scores indicating a relative likelihood that the current payment transaction is each of a plurality of fraudulent transaction types. The fraud classification computing system identifies a most likely transaction classification identifier and generates a transaction classification message for the current payment transaction.

Abstract: A method and system for detecting fraudulent network events in a payment card network are provided. A plurality of scored payment card transaction authorization requests are received, originating from a plurality of merchants, and data structures for each of a plurality of merchant groups are generated. Each data structure sorts the scored authorization requests into fraud score range stripes. The data structures are parsed over a plurality of time periods, and at least one cumulative metric is calculated for each merchant group for each of the time periods in each fraud score range stripe. A plurality of ratio striping values is determined for each merchant group, and a set of feature inputs is generated using the ratio striping values. A second fraud detection model is applied to the scored authorization requests. Parameters of the second fraud detection model are configured to change based on the generated set of feature inputs.
