Systems and methods are described for facilitating payments and transactions using social background checks. Such systems and methods may use social networks with both individual members communicating over a network to a social authentication computing system. The authentication of transactions associated financial institutions are determined through the use of relationship measures based on social media interactions. Transactions and services available to a user are determined based on a measure of social identity through the use of social media platforms. Available contact and interaction data from one or more social media platforms is leveraged to analyze a level of trust that a transaction is not a consequence of fraudulent activity. Transactions that have a low level of risk of being a consequence of fraudulent activity are benefited through faster transaction times and other improvements.

Systems and methods for preferring payments using a social background check

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with entity mapping. According to one embodiment, a method comprises generating trees based, at least in part, on data. The data is associated with dimensions. A tree includes nodes that are not defined by the dimensions of the data. The method further includes performing statistical tree analysis to calculate results for the trees. The statistical tree analysis is performed independent of the dimensions of the data. A table of a composite result set is created by unionizing the results for the at least two trees. The nodes of the trees are parsed based, at least in part, on the composite result set. The at least two trees can then be visually displayed.

Entity mapping

A method may include receiving content included in a social media post of a user; analyzing the content included in the social media post to determine a likelihood that the social media post contains security information associated with the user; transmitting an alert to a computing device of the user, based on the analyzing, that the content includes the security information associated with the user; and presenting an option to change the security information.
