Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for assigning a limited access state to an account based on a triggering event and causing a client device to provide full navigable access to a client application. For example, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed system detects a triggering event corresponding with activity of an account. In particular, based on the detected triggering event, the disclosed system assigns the limited access state to the account and provides a notification to the account in the limited access state. Furthermore, while in the limited access state the client device associated with the account in the limited access state provides full navigable access to the client application, detects restricted activity based on restriction rules, and provides graphical elements to restore the account from the limited access state to a full access state.

Claims (82)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

detecting a triggering event corresponding with activity of an account associated with a client device;

assigning, based on the triggering event, a limited access state to the account by applying restriction rules to the account that restricts usage of the account compared to a full access state; and

providing, to the client device associated with the account, a notification that the account is assigned the limited access state, wherein being assigned the limited access state causes the client device to:

provide full navigable access to a client application;

detect restricted activity based on the restriction rules; and

provide a graphical element with an indication to perform actions to move the account from the limited access state to the full access state in response to detecting the restricted activity.

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

reassigning the full access state to the account from the limited access state by:

sending a verification request corresponding to the triggering event to the client device associated with the account;

processing a verification received in response to the verification request;

determining the verification satisfies a verification threshold; and

restoring the account to the full access state by deactivating the restriction rules.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein sending the verification request to the client device associated with the account further comprises providing at least one of a direct upload option within a graphical user interface or a verification action within the graphical user interface.

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

associating a first time threshold with the limited access state, the first time threshold representing a time period within which a verification threshold is to be satisfied;

determining the verification threshold is satisfied within the first time threshold; and

restoring the account from the limited access state to the full access state based on determining the verification threshold is satisfied within the first time threshold.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising sending a reminder notification to the client device associated with the account, wherein the reminder notification indicates the first time threshold to satisfy the verification threshold.

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

sending a verification request to the client device associated with the account that corresponds with the triggering event;

associating a first time threshold with the limited access state, the first time threshold representing a time period within which a verification threshold is to be satisfied;

determining the verification threshold was not satisfied within the first time threshold; and

reassigning the account from the limited access state to a suspension state.

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

associating a second time threshold with the suspension state within which to satisfy the verification threshold; and

updating the state of the account from the suspension state to a closure state in response to determining the verification threshold was not satisfied within the second time threshold.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein detecting the triggering event further comprises:

receiving a data package corresponding with activity of the account; and

determining the activity of the account within the received data package indicates suspicious activity.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein detecting the triggering event further comprises detecting a new account that fails to satisfy a verification threshold.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein applying restriction rules further comprises applying restriction rules to the account that comprise at least one of:

reducing an overall spending threshold for the account;

reducing a direct deposit threshold for the account;

reducing an inter-account transfer threshold for the account;

reducing a machine withdrawal threshold for the account;

reducing a credit spending threshold for the account;

reducing a debit spending threshold for the account; or

reducing feature capabilities within the client application.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computer system to:

detect a triggering event corresponding with activity of an account associated with a client device;

assign, based on the triggering event, a limited access state to the account by applying restriction rules to the account that restricts usage of the account compared to a full access state; and

provide, to the client device associated with the account, a notification that the account is assigned the limited access state, wherein being assigned the limited access state causes the client device to:

provide full navigable access to a client application;

detect restricted activity based on the restriction rules; and

provide a graphical element with an indication to perform actions to move the account from the limited access state to the full access state in response to detecting the restricted activity.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , further comprises:

reassigning the full access state to the account from the limited access state by:

sending a verification request corresponding to the triggering event to the client device associated with the account;

processing a verification received in response to the verification request;

determining the verification satisfies a verification threshold; and

restoring the account to the full access state by deactivating the restriction rules.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein sending the verification request to the client device associated with the account further comprises providing a direct upload option within a graphical user interface.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , further comprises:

sending a verification request to the client device associated with the account that corresponds with the triggering event;

associating, a first time threshold with the limited access state, the first time threshold representing a time period within which a verification threshold is to be satisfied;

determining the verification threshold was not satisfied within the first time threshold; and

reassigning the account from the limited access state to a suspension state.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , further comprising sending a reminder notification to the client device associated with the account, wherein the reminder notification indicates the first time threshold to satisfy the verification threshold.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein detecting the triggering event further comprises:

receiving a data package corresponding with activity of the account; and

determining the activity of the account within the received data package indicates suspicious activity.

17. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:

detect a triggering event corresponding with activity of an account associated with a client device;

assign, based on the triggering event, a limited access state to the account by applying restriction rules to the account that restricts usage of the account compared to a full access state; and

provide, to the client device associated with the account, a notification that the account is assigned the limited access state, wherein being assigned the limited access state causes the client device to:

provide full navigable access to a client application;

detect restricted activity based on the restriction rules; and

provide a graphical element with an indication to perform actions to move the account from the limited access state to the full access state in response to detecting the restricted activity.

18. The system of claim 17 , further comprises:

reassigning the full access state to the account from the limited access state by:

sending a verification request corresponding to the triggering event to the client device associated with the account;

processing a verification received in response to the verification request;

determining the verification satisfies a verification threshold; and

restoring the account to the full access state by deactivating the restriction rules.

19. The system of claim 18 , further comprises:

associating a first time threshold with the limited access state, the first time threshold representing a time period within which a verification threshold is to be satisfied;

determining the verification threshold is satisfied within the first time threshold; and

restoring the account from the limited access state to the full access state based on determining the verification threshold is satisfied within the first time threshold.

20. The system of claim 18 , wherein sending the verification request to the client device associated with the account further comprises providing a direct upload option to the client device within a graphical user interface.
