Abstract

Claims (91)

1. A computer-implemented method of establishing a multi-dimensional fraud detection system and payment analysis, the method comprising:

receiving transaction history of a user, the transaction history including a first payment vehicle and a second payment vehicle;

generating a unique hash and a fraud analysis profile request upon determining a fraud analysis profile is not available, and sending the fraud analysis profile request including the unique hash to generate the fraud analysis profile from the received transaction history of the user;

determining, of the received transaction history, one or more instances of switching from the first payment vehicle to the second payment vehicle; and

determining a user-specific abandonment score for the user, based on the determined instances of switching from the first payment vehicle to the second payment vehicle.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining first billing information associated with the first payment vehicle;

determining second billing information associated with the second payment vehicle; and

decreasing a fraud risk score if the first billing information matches the second billing information, or

increasing a fraud risk score if the first billing information does not match the second billing information.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , further comprising:

prompting approval of a payment transaction based on the user-specific abandonment score and the fraud risk score.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , further comprising:

computing the fraud risk score based on billing data, device data, merchant data, or timing data of the received transaction history.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying, of the transaction history, one or more authorization requests associated with the first payment vehicle;

determining, of the identified authorization requests, transaction data associated with the identified authorization requests, wherein the transaction data corresponds to a second payment vehicle; and

determining the one or more instances of switching from the first payment vehicle to the second payment vehicle, based on the transaction data.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a first payment authorization request associated with the user;

receiving a fraud risk score associated with the first payment authorization request;

receiving an institutional risk tolerance score; and

prompting approval of the first payment authorization request based on the user-specific abandonment score, the fraud risk score, and the institutional risk tolerance score.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , further comprising:

denying the first payment authorization request unless the fraud risk score is less than the institutional risk tolerance score.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving a profile associated with the user;

computing an initial fraud risk score based on the profile and transaction data of the first payment authorization request;

receiving a second payment authorization request; and

updating initial fraud risk score based on the second payment authorization request.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the transaction history includes, one or more of:

an identifier of the merchant;

an identifier of the user;

an identifier of one or more payment means accessed for payment of the transaction;

an itemization of the goods and/or services transacted for;

any geographical and/or temporal information of the transaction;

any taxes, tips, and/or gratuities;

any discounts, coupons, reductions;

any fees directed towards acquirers, issuers, payment networks;

currency exchange rates; and

any other attributes of the payment transaction.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

prompting approval of a payment transaction based on the user-specific abandonment score.

11. A decentralized computer system for establishing a multi-dimensional fraud detection system and payment analysis, the system comprising:

a data storage device storing instructions for establishing a multi-dimensional fraud detection system and payment analysis; and

a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method including:

receiving transaction history of a user, the transaction history including a first payment vehicle and a second payment vehicle;

generating a unique hash and a fraud analysis profile request upon determining a fraud analysis profile is not available, and sending the fraud analysis profile request including the unique hash to generate the fraud analysis profile from the received transaction history of the user;

determining, of the received transaction history, one or more instances of switching from the first payment vehicle to the second payment vehicle; and

determining a user-specific abandonment score for the user, based on the determined instances of switching from the first payment vehicle to the second payment vehicle.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured for:

determining first billing information associated with the first payment vehicle;

determining second billing information associated with the second payment vehicle; and

decreasing a fraud risk score if the first billing information matches the second billing information, or

increasing a fraud risk score if the first billing information does not match the second billing information.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured for:

prompting approval of a payment transaction based on the user-specific abandonment score and the fraud risk score.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured for:

computing the fraud risk score based on billing data, device data, merchant data, or timing data of the received transaction history.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured for:

identifying, of the transaction history, one or more authorization requests associated with the first payment vehicle;

determining, of the identified authorization requests, transaction data associated with the identified authorization requests, wherein the transaction data corresponds to a second payment vehicle; and

determining the one or more instances of switching from the first payment vehicle to the second payment vehicle, based on the transaction data.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured for:

receiving a first payment authorization request associated with the user;

receiving a fraud risk score associated with the first payment authorization request;

receiving an institutional risk tolerance score; and

prompting approval of the first payment authorization request based on the user-specific abandonment score, the fraud risk score, and the institutional risk tolerance score.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the transaction data includes, one or more of:

an identifier of the merchant;

an identifier of the user;

an identifier of one or more payment means accessed for payment of the transaction;

an itemization of the goods and/or services transacted for;

any geographical and/or temporal information of the transaction;

any taxes, tips, and/or gratuities;

any discounts, coupons, reductions;

any fees directed towards acquirers, issuers, payment networks;

currency exchange rates; and

any other attributes of the payment transaction.

18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured for:

prompting approval of a payment transaction based on the user-specific abandonment score.

19. A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a server, cause the server to perform a method for establishing a multi-dimensional fraud detection system and payment analysis, the method including:

receiving transaction history of a user, the transaction history including a first payment vehicle and a second payment vehicle;

generating a unique hash and a fraud analysis profile request upon determining a fraud analysis profile is not available, and sending the fraud analysis profile request including the unique hash to generate the fraud analysis profile from the received transaction history of the user;

determining, of the received transaction history, one or more instances of switching from the first payment vehicle to the second payment vehicle; and

determining a user-specific abandonment score for the user, based on the determined instances of switching from the first payment vehicle to the second payment vehicle.

20. The machine readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the method further comprises:

determining first billing information associated with the first payment vehicle;

determining second billing information associated with the second payment vehicle; and
