A method for facilitating payment transactions includes receiving a transaction request for a payment transaction initiated at a payment terminal device using a transaction card of a user. A predefined category of the user is identified based on the transaction request and a service application is remotely activated in a first operation mode on a user device of the user such that the first operation mode is associated with the identified predefined category. Payment transaction messages associated with the payment transaction are communicated to the activated service application, which translates the payment transaction messages to a predefined message format. In response to the payment transaction messages, first authentication information is received from the activated service application such that the first authentication information is entered by the user in the predefined message format. The payment transaction is processed based on successful authentication of the user.

Transaction cards, systems and methods for performing fraud detection at POS devices based on analysis of feature sets are disclosed. In one embodiment, an exemplary transaction card may comprise one or more sensors configured to collect pre-card-use sensor data regarding a user of the card, circuitry that assembles such data into feature sets and performs fraud detection, and data storage. According to some aspects, the fraud detection may include comparing user specific sensor data, collected for a current transaction, to a user-specific risk profile validation model to determine a risk score for the current transaction, and transmitting the risk score to a card transacting device when a card is presented during a transaction. In some implementations, the risk score may enable the card transacting device to evaluate a risk associated with accepting the transaction card to complete the attempted transaction.

Described is a reactive hierarchical blockchain architecture, system, and methodology for Global Trade Management (GTM). The system includes a comprehensive suite of GTM applications and leverages multi-national content to deliver efficient cross-boarder transactions anywhere in the world. The tiered computer-implemented system and method allow development of distributed GTM blockchain solutions capable of processing enormous amounts of global content at scale to meet huge transaction volume. The hierarchical blockchain architecture further assures scalability of the GTM solutions described herein by reducing the need for performing extensive calculations on multiple blockchain nodes. The GTM blockchain systems can be standalone or they can feed information into on or more main International Trade (ITC) blockchains. Smart contracts for specific GTM operations are segregated among appropriate childchains and verified by integrated GTM applications executed on permissioned nodes. Various embodiments can store, analyze, and track GTM endorsements and events to help coordinate and maintain contractual obligations of service partners as well as monitor their performance.

A method for sending a notification indicating fraud using a transaction authorization channel is described. Upon performing a fraud analysis on a first transaction previously authorized by an issuer of an account via the transaction authorization channel, a determination that the first transaction has indications of fraud is performed. In response to determining that the first transaction has indications of fraud, a transaction authorization request message for a second transaction is generated to include a billing descriptor field with data representing a notification of fraud on the account. The transaction authorization request message for the second transaction is sent, via the transaction authorization channel, to an electronic device associated with the issuer of the account so that it will modify the account to include a transaction entry for the second transaction that will be recognized as a fraud notification when an account holder of the account views pending transactions.

A processor receives global positioning system data from a mobile device of a user of an account. The processor further receives information from a vendor, indicating that a transaction using the account was attempted. The processor determines, based on historical transaction and location information, and current transaction information, a probability that the transaction is fraudulent. In response, the processor rejects the transaction, and deactivates a card and mobile wallet of the user. The processor also sends a notification to the mobile device requesting a voice confirmation. The processor receives the voice confirmation, splits it into a set of voice characteristic data and determines, based on voice characteristic data stored in memory, that the voice confirmation was generated by the user. In response, the processor reactivates the card and the mobile wallet and stores a set of information describing the transaction in memory.

An authorization control network includes at least one computer server. The server(s) receives a cardholder credential and a profile modification request from a communications device, and determines an account attribute by querying a profile database with an account identifier. The server(s) rejects the modification request if the server determines from the account attribute that a limit profile associated with the account identifier is linked to a cardholder credential other than the received cardholder credential. The server(s) then receives from a POS device an authorization request that includes the account identifier and an authorization value. If the server(s) determines that the authorization value does not exceed a limit value saved in the limit profile and does not exceed a credit amount associated with the account identifier in a transactions database, the server(s) generates an authorization response confirming authorization of the authorization value, and transmits the authorization response to the POS device.
