Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for predicting consumer spending behavior based on historical purchase activity progressions. One method includes: receiving transaction data related to two or more past payment transactions of a consumer; receiving environmental and/or behavioral data associated with each of the past payment transactions; determining, based on the transaction data and environmental and/or behavioral data, historical purchase activity progressions, wherein each of the historical purchase activity progressions identifies one or more trends in environmental and/or behavioral data; receiving transaction data related to a current payment transaction of the consumer; receiving environmental and/or behavioral data associated with the current payment transaction; comparing the environmental and/or behavioral data associated with one or more of the past payment transactions with environmental and/or behavioral data associated with the current payment transaction; and determining whether a progression of one or more of the past payment transactions to the current payment transaction maps to one of the historical purchase activity progressions.

Claims (88)

1. A computer-implemented method of predicting consumer spending behavior based on historical purchase activity progressions, comprising:

receiving, by a profiler computing system, transaction data related to one or more past payment transactions;

receiving, by the profiler computing system, environmental and/or behavioral data associated with each of the one or more past payment transactions;

determining, by the profiler computing system, a plurality of historical purchase activity progressions;

receiving, by the profiler computing system, transaction data related to a current payment transaction associated with a payment vehicle;

generating, by the profiler computing system, a payment vehicle token by tokenizing payment vehicle data, based on the transaction data related to the current payment transaction;

affiliating, by the profiler computing system, the current payment transaction to the payment vehicle token;

receiving, by the profiler computing system, environmental and/or behavioral data associated with the current payment transaction associated with the payment vehicle token;

comparing, by the profiler computing system, the environmental and/or behavioral data associated with the one or more of the past payment transactions with the environmental and/or behavioral data associated with the current payment transaction associated with the payment vehicle token;

determining, by the profiler computing system, using the comparison, whether a shift or a change in geographical characteristics of geographical locations or channel characteristics related to channels of one or more past payment transactions to the current payment transaction associated with the payment vehicle token maps to at least one of the plurality of historical purchase activity progressions; and

generating, by the profiler computing system, an indication of at least one predicted purchase transaction based on the at least one of the plurality of historical purchase activity progression.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the environmental and/or behavioral data associated with the one or more of the past payment transactions or the current payment transaction includes, one or more of:

data related to a channel of purchase used in the one or more of the past payment transactions or the current payment transaction;

temporal data related to the one or more of the past payment transactions or the current payment transaction;

transmitting the indication of the at least one predicted purchase transaction, the indication of the at least one predicted purchase transaction being an indication of a change in a usage of one or more payment vehicles or payment networks used in payment transactions.

8. A system of predicting consumer spending behavior based on historical purchase activity progressions, the system comprising:

one or more computer readable media storing instructions for predicting the consumer spending behavior; and

affiliating, by the profiler computing system, the current payment transaction to the payment vehicle token;

receiving, by the profiler computing system, environmental and/or behavioral data associated with the current payment transaction associated with the payment vehicle token;

comparing, by the profiler computing system, the environmental and/or behavioral data associated with the one or more of the past payment transactions with the environmental and/or behavioral data associated with the current payment transaction associated with the payment vehicle token;

determining, by the profiler computing system, using the comparison, whether a shift or a change in geographical characteristics of geographical locations or channel characteristics related to channels of one or more past payment transactions to the current payment transaction associated with the payment vehicle token maps to at least one of the plurality of historical purchase activity progressions; and

generating, by the profiler computing system, an indication of at least one predicted purchase transaction based on the at least one of the plurality of historical purchase activity progression.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the environmental and/or behavioral data associated with the one or more of the past payment transactions or the current payment transaction includes, one or more of:

data related to a channel of purchase used in the one or more of the past payment transactions or the current payment transaction;

temporal data related to the one or more of the past payment transactions or the current payment transaction;

data related to a geographical location of a consumer or a merchant in the one or more of the past payment transactions or the current payment transaction;

data related to the merchant in the one or more of the past payment transactions or the current payment transaction;
