Mobile communications devices, systems and methods are provided for identifying a risk of fraudulent activity associated with a merchant before a user executes a transaction with the merchant. In an embodiment, a mobile communications device obtains first information identifying prior instances of fraudulent activity associated with a merchant. The mobile communications device may determine a level of risk of fraudulent activity associated with the merchant based on the obtained first information, and may identify, based on the determined risk level, one or more payment instruments and associated incentives appropriate for financial services transactions involving the merchant. The mobile communications device may present, to a user, a notification including the identified payment instruments and associated incentives prior to execution of a transaction between the user and the merchant.

Systems and methods for providing merchant fraud alerts

The disclosed embodiments include methods and point-of-sale terminals for authenticating a user. The disclosed embodiments include, for example, a method for receiving, by one or more processors, authentication data from an authentication network, the authentication data including an authentication code identifying an authentication transaction associated with an authenticating partner system. The method may also include validating, by the one or more processors, the authentication data, the validating comprising comparing the authentication data with validation data corresponding to a prior authentication event associated with the user. The method may also include generating, by the one or more processors, validation information based on the validating, the validation information comprising a determination whether to validate the user for the authentication transaction. The method may also include providing, by the one or more processors, the validation information to the authentication network.

Systems and methods for authenticating user identities in networked computer systems

A payment processing method involves a server receiving a payee identifier, and linking the payee identifier to a device identifier identifying a payee device. The server receives from a payor device a payment initiation request identifying a specified payment amount and a payor identifier, links a unique token to the specified payment amount and to the payor identifier, and provides the payor device with the token. The token excludes the payor identifier and particulars of the associated payor. The server receives a payment completion request including the payee identifier and the token, and excluding the payment amount, the payor identifier and payor particulars. The server uses the payee identifier to confirm that the payment completion request was signed with the device identifier, uses the payee identifier to locate a payee account, and uses the token to determine the specified payment amount and a payor account associated with the payor identifier.

Person-to-person electronic payment processing

The disclosed embodiments include methods, systems, system terminals, and point-of-sale terminals for authenticating a user. The disclosed embodiments include, for example, a method for receiving, by one or more processors, authentication data from an authentication network, the authentication data including an authentication code identifying an authentication transaction associated with an authenticating partner system. The method may also include validating, by the one or more processors, the authentication data, the validating comprising comparing the authentication data with validation data corresponding to a prior authentication event associated with the user. The method may also include generating, by the one or more processors, validation information based on the validating, the validation information comprising a determination whether to validate the user for the authentication transaction. The method may also include providing, by the one or more processors, the validation information to the authentication network.

The disclosed embodiments include methods and systems for validating, funding, activating, and reloading one or more configurable multicards. The disclosed embodiments may include a method that may include obtaining user authentication information relating to a first user associated with an inactivated multicard that is configurable for use for purchases and is configured with a zero multicard account balance amount. The method may include obtaining multicard configuration information including a unique multicard identification information that identifies the inactivated multicard and a first multicard account balance amount for the inactivated multicard. The method may also include validating the inactivated multicard using the unique multicard identification information and associating the inactivated multicard with a multicard account having the first multicard account balance that is funded from a financial account associated with the first user.

Systems and methods for providing pre-paid multicards

The disclosed embodiments include systems and methods for administering actual and virtual investment portfolios based on transaction data associated with one or more users. The disclosed embodiments may be configured to modify an investment risk tolerance of a user based on transaction data identifying one or more first products purchased by the user and one or more prior financial services transactions associated with the user. The disclosed embodiments may also be configured to identify one or more first securities based on a portion of the transaction data and the modified investment risk tolerance. In certain aspects, the identified first securities may be related to at least one of the purchased products.

Systems and methods for administering investment portfolios based on transaction data

The disclosed embodiments include, for example, systems and methods for providing recommendations of one or more alternative products to a user based on investment portfolio data. In one aspect, the disclosed embodiments may include a system that is configured to obtain information associated with one or more products of interest to the user. In certain aspects, the obtained information may identify a product previously purchased by the user, one or more products that form a shopping list of the user, and/or a product identified by the user as a potential purchase. The system may be configured to identify one or more alternative products that are similar to the products of interest and that are related to one or more securities associated with an investment portfolio of the user. In one aspect, the system may be configured to generate one or more instructions to transmit information identifying the one or more alternatives product to a device of the user.

Systems and methods for identifying product recommendations based on investment portfolio data

A method of controlling issuance of alerts involves a server receiving notification of occurrence of an event at an account, saving in an events history the event occurrence, receiving device information from a mobile device associated with the account, and determining a position and/or speed from the device information. The server maintains at least one event definition defining particulars of suspension of notifications of events at an account. Upon the position or speed correlating with one of the event definitions, the server saves in the events history an occurrence of at least one additional event occurring at the account subsequent to the event, and suspends notification of the saved occurrences to the mobile device. The server transmits to the mobile device a notification of the occurrences saved in the events history and clears the events history upon the position and speed no longer correlating with any of the event definitions.

Location-based account activity alerts

A system, method and computer program product is capable of proactive assessment of transactions and communication of alerts based on pre-set rules to increase transaction integrity and mitigate fraud. Unauthorized transactions may be stopped before processing through an account to enhance the security of transactions and decrease fraudulent transactions without the account holder seeing a negative transaction in their account. Chip-enabled cards may be configured to alert account holders of transactions prior to being processed through an account based on pre-set rules stored on the chip or in a remote data store. The transaction can be stopped until the account holder authorizes the transaction based on the alert. The alert can be sent through the merchant system or wirelessly from the chip-enabled card.
