Abstract
A computer-implemented method for predicting interchange charges includes: retrieving a historical transactions set, where each completed transaction in the set includes transaction features, a bank identification number (BIN), and a corresponding true interchange code; transforming all BINs in the set into a corresponding plurality of BIN features that comprise probabilities; creating a first training set including all transaction features, all pluralities of BIN features, and all true interchange codes associated with the historical transactions set; training a random forest model using the first training set and generating a second training set including rounded BIN features, rounded transaction features, discrete ones of the transaction features, and the true interchange codes; training the random forest model using the second training set to generate a trained random forest model for prediction of the interchange codes; and executing the trained random forest model for new transactions to generate corresponding predicted interchange codes.
