Systems and methods are provided for group bill payment comprising creating a secure group bill payment account associated with a plurality of group members. The group bill payment account may be configured to receive information via a network from the plurality of group members; permit a group member to manage the group bill payment account following an authentication process; and transmit a group payment to a provider. Systems and methods may further comprise receiving instructions from a group member to create a rule for requesting payment, the bill being from a provider and associated with group members; receiving the bill issued by the provider; determining a charge based on the bill and the rule; sending a payment request based on the charge; receiving a deposit into the group bill payment account; transmitting a group payment; and sending a notification.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for facilitating payment between mobile devices through respective mobile service providers. Access to a payment system is provided through a universal mobile device keyboard with a payment key embedded within the universal mobile device keyboard. Selecting the payment key may initiate the payment between a user and a message recipient through their respective mobile device accounts.

Arrangements for payment and recommendation control are provided. In some aspects, contextual data may be received from a user. For instance, data such as calendar data may be received and an event may be identified. Based on the event, a pre-authorized amount may be identified for payment associated with the event. The system may receive a request for payment and event details. The amount may be compared to the pre-authorized amount and, if more than the pre-authorized amount, a request for payment authorization may be transmitted to a user device. If the amount is not more than the pre-authorized amount, expected location data of the user may be received and current location data of the user may be requested from a user device. The location data may be compared and, if the locations match, the payment may be authorized and automatically processed.

A system for processing a transaction at a point of engagement comprising receiving an input interaction from a user, communicating with a plurality of identity providers to validate an identity of the user, communicating with a plurality of payment providers to collect available payment or funding options, mapping the input interaction to an output interaction, and performing a transaction that reflects the mapping of the input interaction to the output interaction.

Described embodiments provide systems and methods for performing secure transactions. A first service executing on at least one server may receive a request from a second service for the first service to perform a transaction. The request may include an identifier of a record. An agent of the first service may determine, according to the identifier, whether the record is present in a storage. The storage may be accessible using credentials of the agent of the first service and an agent of the second service. The first service may send a response to the request if the record is present in the storage.

Arrangements for facial recognition and processing are provided. In some aspects, a request to process a transaction may be received. In response to the request, image data of the user may be captured. The image data may be analyzed using one or more facial recognition techniques. If the user cannot be identified, payment information may be requested from the user. If the user can be identified, the user may be identified and user profile data associated with the user may be retrieved. In some examples, the user profile data may include user contact information, user device identifying information, and the like. User device data may be extracted from the user profile data and a notification including an instruction to initiate payment processing may be generated. The notification may then be transmitted to the user device identified from the extracted data and the instruction may be executed to initiate payment processing.

The system may be configured to perform operations including receiving a transaction history for a consumer having transaction information associated with a plurality of transactions; detecting within the transaction information for each transaction a characteristic, resulting in a plurality of characteristics; calculating a respective value associated with each characteristic, wherein the respective value is at least one of a number or percentage of transactions having the characteristic; assigning a respective weight to each characteristic, producing an assigned respective weight for each characteristic; applying the assigned respective weight to the respective value associated with each characteristic to produce a respective weighted value for each characteristic; combining the respective weighted values of the plurality of characteristics; and/or producing a compliance score in response to the combining the respective weight values.

Arrangements for payment and recommendation control are provided. In some aspects, an event trigger and contextual data may be received from, for instance, a user device. In response to the event trigger, one or more requests for external entity data may be generated and transmitted to one or more external entity computing systems. External entity response data may be received and analyzed, with the contextual data, using machine learning, to identify one or more recommended options for a user. The one or more recommended options may be transmitted to a user computing device. In some examples, user selection of a first option may be received and a communication session may be initiated with a first external entity computing system. A scheduling request may be transmitted to the first external entity computing system and a scheduling confirmation may be received from the first external entity computing system.

A method and apparatus for a remittance service are disclosed. An operation method of a server providing a remittance service includes receiving, from a remitter participating in an anonymous chatroom by using a first temporary profile, a request for a remittance to a second temporary profile participating in the anonymous chatroom, verifying a remittance qualification of an account of the remitter, generating remittance transaction information for remitting an amount corresponding to the remittance request to an account of a remittee corresponding to the second temporary profile, and transmitting, to the account of the remittee a remittance notification including information on the first temporary profile as remitter information.

A vehicle includes a first sensor for sensing a first image, a second sensor for sensing a second image, and a processor that generates identification information of an object based on the first image, matches the identification information with payment request information including information about fare payment of the object, generates location information of the object based on the second image, matches the identification information with the location information to generate boarding information of the object, and determines a free riding of the object based on the boarding information and payment approval information corresponding to the identification information.
