Abstract

A server computer that implements an efficient sampling technique for imbalanced transactions. Transaction data comprising unlabeled transaction data and fraudulent transaction data is encoded to form (i) a first set of encoded data associated with fraudulent transactions and unlabeled transactions that are similar to fraudulent transactions, and (ii) a second set of encoded data associated with unlabeled transactions. A first sampling process is executed with respect to the first set of encoded data to obtain a first sampled set of encoded data, and a second sampling process is executed with respect to the second set of encoded data to obtain a second sampled set of encoded data. An optimal sampling size of the transaction data is determined based on whether a performance of a machine learning model that classifies the first sampled set of encoded data and the second sampled set of encoded data satisfies a condition.

Abstract

This disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for enabling a transaction bypass for a user-requested block on a merchant. The method involves receiving an authorization request message from a merchant, determining if the merchant is subject to an active block instruction, and verifying customer authentication information. If the authentication information is present and the merchant matches a block instruction, a transaction bypass message is generated and sent to the issuer. Based on the issuer's response, the active block may be removed or maintained. The method also allows for sending authentication data to the issuer for verification, and periodically receiving authorization requests from the merchant. Additional features include managing an authentication security threshold and sending status notifications to the merchant. The invention ensures secure transaction processing, providing flexible handling of user-requested merchant blocks based on customer authentication and issuer approval.

Abstract

A computer-implemented system for streamlining encryption payload of a card transaction from a transaction code transaction via a merchant inside a restricted computer network firewall. A wallet application stores data of a payment device, and the wallet application retrieves information of a merchant and a transaction via a transaction code. In response to the retrieved information, the wallet application generates an encrypted payload. The wallet application transmits the encrypted payload to a payment facilitator within the restricted computer network firewall. After decryption of the encrypted payload, the payment facilitator transmits a decrypted payload in one payment packet to the payment processing server outside the restricted computer network firewall. The payment processing server transmits from outside the restricted computer network firewall to the merchant inside the restricted computer network firewall a notification of payment after the payment processing server validates the payment transaction.

Abstract

There has been a rising interest in the tokenization of flat currencies among the public and private sectors. The latest trend is the interest of commercial banks in the tokenization of their fractional reserves on shared ledgers (e.g., blockchains) with the primary goal of achieving real-time interbank transfers. A payment network system can provide a comprehensive sandbox solution for commercial banks to tokenize its deposits on a blockchain of their choice while adhering to global standards to facilitate interbank transfers via their network. This technique can provide opportunities to employ advanced cryptographic techniques such as zero-knowledge proofs and atomic swaps for building an environment that would allow the payment network system to not only connect banks for real-time transfers but also provide value-added services such as fraud detection and credentials for bank deposits.

Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to an anomaly detection solution using advanced mobile payments data and mobile transaction-level features to help banks detect potential anomalous behavior in their mobile banking platform. The solution disclosed in the present disclosure is embedded into a broader fraud and anomaly detection monitoring framework at client end to make real time decisions on transaction approval, hold, or decline. This leads to reduced fraud losses and exposures, and optimized transaction approval rates for the client. As opposed to typical models deployed by banks which are unique and targeted to a specific use, this solution concurrently caters to three distinct use cases: detection of potential fraudulent activity, facility abuse by client, and potential laundering activity.

Abstract

Methods and systems for performing federated private anomaly detection are disclosed. An anomaly detector computer can collaborate with an aggregator computer and an account management computer in order to train machine learning models, which can be used to classify events as not fraudulent or fraudulent. The anomaly detector computer can obliviously use private information (e.g., account flags and account flag values) held by the account management computer to train and use the machine learning models, such that the anomaly detector does not become aware of the account flags or account flags values. Such a system can be used, for example, for the detection and prevention of financial crime. The anomaly detector computer can use the account flag information possessed by the account management computer to identify fraudulent events performed by customers of the organization operating the account management computer.
