Particular embodiments receive, by at least one computing device of a payment service, a request to configure a goal to associate with a user account of a user, where the goal is associated with a condition that, when satisfied, causes an incentive to be associated with the user account. The at least one computing device generates a data object for tracking completion of the goal, where the data object is stored in a datastore by the payment service. The at least one computing device monitors, in near-real-time, at least one of managed transaction data associated with users of the payment service or interaction data associated with the user. The at least one computing device determines, based at least in part on comparing at least one of the transaction data or the interaction data to at least the condition, satisfaction of the condition.

The present disclosure generally relates to techniques for managing contextual transactions. In some examples, at a sender electronic device, a first user provides authorization to purchase an item for a second user. In some examples, at a recipient device, the second user selects one or more attributes for the item and requests to claim the item. In some examples, an electronic device displays a representation of an item and a purchase affordance for purchasing the item using a payment system that is available on the electronic device.

A method for processing, by a processing entity, of an authorization to implement a service and/or access an item. The method includes: reception, from a requesting device, of a request for implementing a service and/or accessing an item; searching for an indicator of dependency from at least one piece of data of said request for implementation; when an indicator of dependency is present, obtaining an authorization from a verification device to implement said service and/or access said item.

Systems and methods are provided for use in distributing payment transaction notifications. One exemplary method includes identifying, by a computing device, transaction data for a transaction associated with a child token to a group payment account and identifying, by the computing device, in a data structure, a parent token with which the child token is associated. The parent token is enrolled to receive a notification for the transaction associated with the child token. As such, the method further includes transmitting, by the computing device, a notification to a communication device of a group member associated with the parent token in response to the transaction involving the child token, where the notification includes transaction data associated with the transaction such that the transaction is thereby identified to the group member along with the associated transaction data.

A virtual transaction account may be issued to a designated recipient, wherein authorization limits may limit the duration, availability, value, and functionality of the virtual transaction account. The virtual transaction account may be linked and depend from a parent transaction account, and contain similar payment functionalities as a credit card. The virtual transaction account may be unilaterally issued by a program administrator, without the need to request issuance from an issuer.

Child/family support payments are made on a multilayered consortium ledger network using blockchain, IoT, and other technologies to expedite the process and disbursement of child/family support payments. The multilayered consortium ledger network may cater to local and/or global child support agencies and/or local and global Parties/Parents/family members who elect to send child/family support payments to their family(ies) outside the traditional child support agencies/district attorney offices. The plurality of technologies used support payments made/received using, but not limited to, domestic/foreign fiat, cryptocurrency, tokens, an/or native tokens.

Systems and methods for performing a transaction with a headless point-of-sale or automated teller machine (ATM) device are disclosed using a card having a second communications path to a financial services provider. A card having a display and radio frequency (RF) communications module may be authenticated with a headless point-of-sale device using a short-range RF communications link. Characteristics of the card may be set prior to the transaction. Transaction information may be provided to the display of the card from the headless point-of-sale device. A customer may confirm the transaction at the card using a touch-sensitive input area. During the processing, a communication may be made over the second communications path to authorize the transaction independently of the transaction processing path. A transaction may then be completed at the headless point-of-sale device.

A server for recommending tasks for completion includes a memory including a database configured to store information associated with a plurality of users, and an application coupled to a processor. The server stores a set of chores associated with a plurality of existing users. Each chore is matched with an existing user characteristic. The server receives a first request by a first user for registering with the application. The first request includes a first user characteristic. The server recommends a first chore assignment for the first user based on the first user characteristic. The first chore assignment is based on a comparison of the first user characteristic against a plurality of existing user characteristics. The server further sends a signal to an electronic device for displaying the first chore assignment.

A user device may detect an age associated with a first user account meets or exceeds an age threshold. If so, the user device may present a conversion option to enable conversion of a restricted mobile payment account to a new primary mobile payment account. The user device may then communicate with a payment service to verify an identity of a user of the user device. The user device may then receive a communication indicating successful creation of the new primary mobile payment account.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described herein for protecting user accounts using machine learning models. A machine learning model may be trained to determine whether account activity indicates a risk to credit scores. Account data, associated with a first financial account, may processed to determine whether the first financial account is associated with at least one underage user. A transaction request, associated with the first financial account, may be received. A history of transactions conducted by the first financial account may be retrieved. The trained machine learning model may be provided, as input, the transaction request and the history of transactions. An indication of risk to a credit score associated with the at least one underage user may be received as output from the trained machine learning model. A limitation may be added to the first financial account based on the indication of risk.
