Abstract
Distinct names of merchant entities in a transaction processing database are automatically corrected to standard names of entities by identifying non-standard features from the distinct names that do not uniquely identify the standard names of entities, and processing each distinct name with a selected regular expression tailored to remove the non-standard features and convent the names to a standard name format. Fuzzy matching is used to identify standard names of entities corresponding to the standard name formats.
