Abstract

A device may receive information related to a first plurality of individuals and an individual. Each of the first plurality of individuals may be associated with a respective one or more accounts. The device may receive a request to match the individual and one or more individuals. The device may determine a match of the individual and the one or more individuals based on the information. The device may receive, from a user device associated with the individual, a selection of an account, of the respective one or more accounts, associated with another individual of the first plurality of individuals. The device may provide, for display to the other individual, a notification that the individual and the other individual have been matched and that the individual selected the account associated with the other individual. The device may perform one or more actions related to completing the transaction using the account.

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a device having one or more processors, a request, associated with a first account, to use a second account to complete a transaction,

wherein the first account is associated with a first individual,

wherein the second account is associated with a second individual, and

wherein the second account is associated with a set of benefits to be received based on completing the transaction;

training, by the device, a machine learning model based on historical training data that identifies matches between historical account owners and potential account users;

determining, by the device and based on using the trained machine learning model, a match between the first individual and the second individual, wherein the second individual is associated with a potential account and wherein the match between the first individual and the second individual is also a match between the first account and the potential account,

wherein determining the match between the first account and the potential account comprises:

selecting the potential account as the second account to use to complete the transaction;

determining, by the device, a manner in which to divide the set of benefits between the first account and the second account;

updating, by the device, the first account and the second account to include corresponding portions of the set of benefits based on determining the manner in which to divide the set of benefits; and

providing, by the device, a notification to a transaction terminal or a transaction backend device to cause the transaction terminal or the transaction backend device to request information related to the first individual rather than the second individual when the first individual is using the second account to complete the transaction.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request further comprises one or more of:

information that identifies a type of transaction associated with the transaction,

information related to an account of the first individual, or

a set of credentials associated with the first individual.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the request comprises:

receiving the request automatically based on the first individual attempting to complete the transaction.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the manner in which to divide the set of benefits is based on optimizing one or more of:

cash back associated with the transaction,

rewards points associated with the transaction,

a discount applied to the transaction, or

processing fees associated with the transaction.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing a set of instructions to the transaction terminal or the transaction backend device to prevent the transaction terminal or the transaction backend device from requesting, from the first individual, input of information associated with the second individual.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing another notification to the second individual that the second individual has been selected to facilitate the transaction.

7. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first individual is an untrusted individual to the second individual.

8. A device, comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:

receive a request, associated with a first account, to use a second account to complete a transaction,

wherein the first account is associated with a first individual,

wherein the second account is associated with a second individual, and

wherein the second account is associated with a set of benefits to be received based on completing the transaction;

train a machine learning model based on historical training data that identifies matches between historical account owners and potential account users;

determine, based on using the trained machine learning model, a match between the first individual and the second individual, wherein the second individual is associated with a potential account and wherein the match between the first individual and the second individual is also a match between the first account and the potential account,

wherein the one or more processors, to the match between the first account and the potential account, are configured to:

select the potential account as the second account to use to complete the transaction;

determine a manner in which to divide the set of benefits between the first account and the second account;

update the first account and the second account to include corresponding portions of the set of benefits based on determining the manner in which to divide the set of benefits; and

provide a notification to a transaction terminal or a transaction backend device to cause the transaction terminal or the transaction backend device to request information related to the first individual rather than the second individual when the first individual is using the second account to complete the transaction.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the request further comprises one or more of:

information that identifies a type of transaction associated with the transaction,

information related to an account of the first individual, or

a set of credentials associated with the first individual.

10. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors, when receiving the request, are configured to:

receive the request automatically based on the first individual attempting to complete the transaction.

11. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors, when determining the manner in which to divide the set of benefits are configured to determine the manner in which to divide the set of benefits based on optimizing one or more of:

cash back associated with the transaction,

reward points associated with the transaction,

a discount applied to the transaction, or

processing fees associated with the transaction.

12. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

provide a set of instructions to the transaction terminal or the transaction backend device to prevent the transaction terminal or the transaction backend device from requesting, from the first individual, input of information associated with the second individual.

13. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

provide another notification to the second individual that the second individual has been selected to facilitate the transaction.

14. The device of claim 8 , wherein the first individual is an untrusted individual to the second individual.
