A computer-implemented method of providing enriched transaction data for a transaction requiring an authorization is provided, the transaction performed using a computer system having a processor and a memory device. The method includes storing transaction data received from an input channel, the transaction data including a transaction identifier. An execution plan is retrieved based at least in part on the transaction identifier. The transaction data is processed across an enrichment processor based on the execution plan to generate at least one fraud score for the transaction. The transaction data is enriched to include at least one of the fraud score and an enriched data object. The enriched data is transmitted to an authorizing party for authorization.

Methods and systems for providing a decision making platform

An automatic billing updater (ABU) manager computing device for managing an account information data source and tracking access to the account information data source is provided. The ABU manager computing device receives account data from an issuing party, stores the account information in an account information data source, and provides the account data to requesting parties. The ABU manager computing device tracks access to the stored account data via an ABU traffic data source. ABU manager computing device may also track transaction-related messages corresponding to the stored account data in a transaction traffic data source. In certain embodiments, ABU manager computing device may generate and transmit notifications based on data stored in one or more of the stored account data, the ABU traffic data source, and the transaction traffic data source.

Systems and methods for tracking access data to a data source

A method for enriching the data associated with financial transaction card transactions using a computer system is described. The method includes receiving financial transaction data from a plurality of input channels, each input channel associated with a financial transaction data format, converting the received financial transaction data into a common data format, enriching the converted financial transaction data by scoring the converted financial transaction data across a plurality of scoring engines, converting the plurality of scores relating to the financial transaction data from the scoring engines into output data, and transmitting the output data using an output manager, the output manager operable to provide the data into a format appropriate for each intended recipient.

A method for assessing sales activity of a merchant using a computer system coupled to a database is provided. The sales activity includes purchases made by a customer using a financial transaction card over a financial transaction card network. The method includes storing within the database a plurality of merchant profiles wherein each merchant profile describes a customer community of the corresponding merchant utilizing the financial transaction card network, determining a violator merchant profile based on a customer community associated with a violator merchant wherein the violator merchant uses the financial transaction card network to engage in at least one of illegal, potentially illegal and undesirable sales activities with at least a portion of the associated customer community, comparing the violator merchant profile to each merchant profile stored within the database, and identifying at least one potential violator merchant for further investigation based on the comparison.
