Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure can include systems, methods, computer-readable media, techniques and methodologies for transactional document processing. Users can utilize documents to complete transactions. A user device, such as a point of sale (POS) device may be used to enter user information as well as capture an image of a check. A financial service server, in communication with the POS device, may forward the request to a document analysis server. The document analysis server may use the information received from the POS device to determine whether the document is approved to be used in a transaction. The document analysis server may obtain financial information from an image of the check. The document analysis server may use the user information and financial information to obtain additional information (e.g., credit history, transaction history, etc.). The document analysis server may also determine whether to generate a recommendation with an approval or rejection of the use of the document for the transaction.

Claims (33)

1. A system comprising:

a first financial analysis server; and

a second document analysis server; wherein:

the first financial analysis server identifies a transactions analysis request associated with a document for a transaction, wherein the transaction analysis request comprises data received from a graphical user interface displayed on a user device and an image of the document;

the first financial analysis server transmits the received transactions analysis request to the second document analysis server;

the second server identifies information from the image of the document;

the second document analysis server determines that the document should be used in the transaction based at least in part on the information obtained from the image of the document and the data received from the user device;

the second document analysis server generates a response to the transaction analysis request, wherein the response comprises a recommendation to use the document for the transaction; and

the second document analysis server transmits the response to the transaction analysis request to the user device.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the recommendation comprises instructions to fund the payment instrument.

3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising the second document analysis server transmitting a message to the first server to complete the transaction based at least in part on the information obtained from the image of the document and the data received from the user device.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transactions analysis request further comprises information received by the user device from a first device in communication with the user device.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the image comprises an image of a payment instrument.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the data received from the user device comprises one or more of a driver's license identifier and a username.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the information from the image of the document comprises one or more of a type of transaction, an amount of transaction, and a date of transaction.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second document analysis server identifies information from the image of the document using optical character recognition (OCR).

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second document analysis server determining that the document should be used in the transaction further comprises the second document analysis server identifying a transaction history associated with the user.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the transaction history associated with the user further comprises at least one of a negative transaction between the user and a merchant and information indicative of user standing with the merchant.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

identifying, by the processor, a received transactions analysis request associated with a document for a transaction, wherein the transaction analysis request comprises data received from a graphical user interface displayed on a user device and an image of the document captured using a camera on the user device;

identifying, by the processor, information from the image of the document;

determining, by the processor, that the document should be used in the transaction based at least in part on the information obtained from the image of the document and the data received from the user device;

generating, by the processor, a response to the transaction analysis request, wherein the response comprises a recommendation to use the document for the transaction; and

causing to send, by the processor, the response to the transaction analysis request to the user device.

12. The computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the transactions analysis request further comprises information received by the user device from a first device in communication with the user device.

13. The computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the instructions to determine further comprise instructions to cause to send the transaction analysis request to a first server for processing.

14. The computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the image comprises an image of a payment instrument.

15. The computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the recommendation comprises instructions to fund the payment instrument.

16. The computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the data received from the user device comprises one or more of a driver's license identifier and a username.

17. The computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the information from the image of the document comprises one or more of a type of transaction, an amount of transaction, and a date of transaction.

18. The computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the identifying information from the image of the document further comprises identifying information from the image of the document using optical character recognition (OCR).

19. The computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the determining further comprises identifying a transaction history associated with the user.

20. The computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the transaction history associated with the user further comprises at least one of a negative transaction between the user and a merchant and information indicative of user standing with the merchant.
