BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate several embodiments and, together with the description, serve to explain the disclosed principles. In the drawings:

FIGS. 1A-1C illustrate aspects of a P2P payment application to a credit card transaction embodiment in which:

FIG. 1A illustrates connectivity setup and enablement of P2P payment application to a specific credit card transaction embodiment. A cardholder (“Primary”) links a credit card from a financial service provider system (Bank C) to a P2P service system A. API links provided by the financial service provider system (Bank C) allow for data transmission to the P2P service system A's server instances. Data passed over the API includes ID validation based on public and private shared information, transaction data, balance data, due date, and repayment data;

FIG. 1B illustrates a transaction and request event of payment application to a specific credit card transaction. The cardholder (Primary) uses a credit card to pay a dinner bill with friends. Using P2P service system A, Primary requests the financial service provider system (Bank C) for repayment from the friends (“Secondaries”). Bank C shares transaction data with P2P service system A and service A shares back there is a request for repayment in place. Secondaries receive the request for repayment in their digital experiences for P2P service system A. Bank C holds that transaction aside from Primary's ADB (average daily balance) and interest application until repayment; and

FIG. 1C illustrates a repayment application process event of payment application to the specific credit card transaction. Wherein, the Secondaries (friends) pay on request from the Primary (cardholder) in P2P service system A. P2P service system A transmits the repayment act, date, and amount, and sender to Bank C via the Service. Bank C applies a repayment transaction received via a social payment repayment service, here P2P service system A, to the withheld transaction originally performed on the card. Bank C also applies the transaction and repayment information from P2P service system A to Primary's statement.

FIGS. 2A-2C illustrate aspects of providing social payment pressure for a transaction splitting repayment embodiment in which:

FIG. 2A illustrates connectivity set up and enablement for social payment pressure for a transaction splitting repayment process embodiment. Primary (cardholder) links a credit card from the financial service provider (Bank C) to P2P service system A via a service for application of P2P payment to a credit card transaction. API links provided by the financial service provider system (Bank C) allow for data transmission to P2P service system A's server instances. Data passed over the API includes ID validation based on public and private shared information, transaction data, balance data, due date, and repayment data;

FIG. 2B illustrates a transaction and request event for the social payment pressure for the transaction splitting repayment process. Primary (cardholder) uses the linked credit card to pay a dinner bill with friends (Secondaries). Using P2P service system A, Primary requests repayment from Secondaries. Secondaries receive the request for repayment in their digital experiences for P2P service system A; and

FIG. 2C illustrates a repayment enforcement process for the social payment pressure for the transaction splitting repayment process embodiment. Bank C shares with P2P service system A when the transaction is coming due for payment. P2P service system A sends reminders to Secondaries to repay Primary before the transaction hits a due date. Bank C receives data indicating that the request for repayment has occurred and relates that to the original transaction.

FIGS. 3A-3C illustrate aspects of a social trip management and planning embodiment in which:

FIG. 3A illustrates connectivity set up and enablement of a social trip management and planning embodiment.

FIG. 7C illustrates exemplary components of a P2P service system, including but not limited to: network devices, processing/computing devices, storage devices, etc.

FIG. 8 illustrates an exemplary system consistent with disclosed embodiments. In one aspect, system may include a financial service provider, a user system, a P2P service system, and a network.

FIGS. 9A and 9B illustrate an exemplary transaction and P2P service system transaction unification in a shared data and experience space, in which.

FIG. 9A illustrates an overview of social reporting and attribution of a transaction process, wherein, cardholder, who is also a P2P service system user (shared customer) across entities consents to linking and sharing of specific data elements for specific purposes. P2P service system provides referential data elements, such as “friends”, “contacts”, “requests”, P2P payment history, etc. Financial service provider (Bank/Card Issuer) provides card transaction data elements and interaction schema (notifications/alerts with actions) for authorized and posted transactions, as well as due dates, payments made or scheduled, etc.; and

FIG. 9B illustrates a more detailed depiction of social reporting and attribution of a transaction process. A cardholder (Card) transaction initiates the transaction process, the financial service provider (bank) recognizes an authorized transaction and issues a purchase alert. The purchase alert has the option to include a transaction in the P2P service system for social feed, reporting, and tagging friends for requests. The P2P service system receives a transaction record and notes repayment requests to certain friends tagged for their amounts and shares back to this information to the financial service provider system (e.g. Card issuing bank). A sharing process creates a new Containerized Record of the transaction with new data elements about tagged friends, requests, etc. The transaction record does not “close” when posted but rather stays open until all request and payment actions are completed. The financial service provider retains and controls a primary newly created containerized ledger data on total transaction history (card authorization, card final post, payment history on the transaction, requests, request status, etc.). The financial service provider has read/write and access controls to data. The financial service provider “closes” the transaction once all actions necessary are recorded by all parties (financial service provider system and participating P2P service systems). The P2P service system has a “ghost” record of containerized ledger data, and the P2P service system can read/write to the containerized ledger data to update the status of pending Requests from Friends related to the transaction.

Although FIG. 1A-9B describe several entities and processing or computing components within disclosed systems, any number or combination of components may be implemented without departing from the scope of the disclosed embodiments. For example, different user systems may interact with one or more P2P service systems through a network or standard channels of trade, such as face-to-face purchase transactions. In another example, different financial service provider systems may interact with one or more user systems and P2P service systems through a network or standard channels of trade.
Additionally, financial service provider system 110, user system 120, and P2P service system 130, illustrated in FIG. 8, and described more fully below. may not be mutually exclusive. For example, in one embodiment, financial service provider system 110 and P2P service system 130 may be the same entity. In another embodiment, user system 120 and P2P service system 130 may be the same entity. Thus, the entities as described are not limited to their discrete descriptions herein. Further, where different components of a system, such as system environment 100 in FIG. 8, are combined (e.g., financial service system 110 and P2P service system 130, etc.), the computing and processing devices and software executed by these components may be integrated into a local or distributed system.
In some embodiments, the financial service provider system, user system, and P2P service system also include one or more additional components (not shown) that provide communications with other components of the system environment, such as through a network, or any other suitable communications infrastructure.

Rewards-Based P2P Funding

A first embodiment provides a transaction system for funding a P2P service system using incentive programs operated by a financial service provider system (generally referred to herein as the “bank” or “card issuer”) that issues a credit card. Incentive programs include, but are not limited to cashback, reward points, miles, etc. The transaction system comprises the financial service provider system, one or more P2P service systems, and one or more cardholder devices. The financial service provider system comprises systems implemented by a financial service provider, bank, card issuer, etc., to facilitate incentive programs. The one or more P2P service systems comprise systems implemented by a participating P2P service system provider to facilitate person-to-person or peer-to-peer money transfers. P2P service system providers could include services such as Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, SquareCash, etc.
A cardholder may have a credit or debit card enrolled in an incentive program with the financial service provider system. The cardholder may want to use accumulated rewards to fund a P2P service system account (e.g. Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, SquareCash, etc.) The disclosed embodiment provides a solution that links earned rewards to the P2P service system of choice, thereby simplifying monetization of reward balances.
Monetizing rewards balances has always been difficult, leading to solutions in automated statement credits for transactions through rewards redemptions, using rewards at e-commerce hubs, and redeeming gift cards. Funding of a P2P service system is a solution that links rewards to social experiences customers enjoy. This solution allows a customer/cardholder to use a rewards balance on a credit card to send P2P funds over a variety of channels. These channels could include Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, SquareCash, etc. The solution links the rewards balance earned by the cardholder within public P2P experiences with a deep link secure process and imprints the primary device used for future easier use. As used herein, deep link refers to linking between digital experiences provided by independent systems wherein linking is performed within one digital experience to another digital experience without disrupting an immersion, wherein immersion refers to a process in which a user does not have to leave one experience to access another. In exemplary embodiments, a digital experience may be an application on a mobile device, a website, or the like. Then, as the cardholder is in other P2P experiences, like Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, SquareCash, etc., the cardholder can see a total balance that includes both their bank-funded balance and their additional rewards balance available for P2P and social money sending.
The financial service provider system, e.g. a bank, may provide the cardholder with an enrollment process necessary for the cardholder to use accumulated rewards balances for fund transfers, payments and other transactions facilitated by a P2P service system. In one exemplary embodiment, once the cardholder is enrolled in rewards-based P2P funding, the financial service provider system is configured to perform a set of instructions including establishing a token-based authentication (e.g. OAuth) with a P2P service system, authenticating the cardholder within a P2P service system, via deep linking, granting access to rewards accumulated for use within P2P service systems, and cryptographically imprinting the cardholder's device simplifying future access. Cryptographical imprinting refers to a process of recording unique information about the cardholder's device, e.g., serial number, to be recognized by the system as a trusted device. Alternatively, unique data may be saved on the cardholder's device for recognition by the system in a, e.g., cookie or certificate.
When the cardholder attempts to use the rewards within the P2P service systems, e.g., funding an account, transferring money to another user, etc., the financial service provider system may perform additional steps. In one exemplary embodiment steps embodied in a set of instructions include: receiving a request for redeeming rewards from the P2P services systems, verifying sufficiency of the balance available to the cardholder, sending an approval of the transaction to the P2P services systems, receiving confirmation from the P2P service system, adjusting the rewards balance based on a received confirmation, and sending the adjusted rewards balance information to the P2P service system.
Consistent with exemplary embodiments herein, the P2P service system may comprise at least one memory storing instructions and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations.
The P2P service system, e.g. Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, SquareCash, etc., provides the cardholder with an integrated deep link experience wherein the cardholder can easily see and use accumulated reward balances from within the P2P service system. In one exemplary embodiment, once the bank enrolls a cardholder in rewards-based P2P funding, P2P service systems are configured to perform a set of instructions including: establishing a token-based authentication (e.g. OAuth) with the financial service provider system, authenticating cardholder with the financial service provider system, and providing a deep linking experience wherein the cardholder does not need to separately login to the bank account to redeem accumulated rewards.
When the cardholder attempts to redeem rewards earned within the financial service provider system, e.g., by funding the P2P account, transferring money to another user, etc., the P2P system may perform additional steps. In one exemplary embodiment such additional steps embodied in a set of instructions include: sending a request for redeeming rewards to the financial service provider system, and receiving a redemption approval from the financial service provider system, sending a confirmation of the transaction to the financial service provider system, and receiving a new rewards balance from the financial service provider system.
In an exemplary embodiment, the cardholder may use an electronic device, e.g., smartphone, tablet, personal computer, etc., to enroll in a reward based P2P funding. The cardholder's device may display and allow redemption of accumulated reward balances from within a single application or a website, providing an integrated solution to monetizing reward balances. In one exemplary embodiment, once the cardholder's device is enrolled in rewards-based P2P funding, the cardholder device may be configured to perform a set of actions. The cardholder device is capable of displaying a current rewards balance and enabling a cardholder to use the rewards balance directly without going through the financial service provider system. The displayed balance may include a total balance that includes both bank-funded balances and an additional rewards balance for P2P and social money sending. Bank-funded balance as used herein refers to the balance resulting from payments made or received on the cardholder account, and rewards balance refers to the balance accrued by utilizing incentive programs offered. Rewards can be redeemed by funding the P2P account, transferring money to another user, etc. All actions are available within a single P2P application via deep-linking between the financial service provider system and the P2P service system.
In one exemplary embodiment upon enrollment or redemption of the reward balance, the cardholder device may enable the cardholder to share the experience or transaction details into the social P2P feed.

Payment Collection from Third Party Sources

A second embodiment provides for payment collection from third party sources.
People often use their credit card for transactions involving friends and later get paid back by their friends. The friends may pay back the credit card holder via their social P2P accounts. However, it is sometimes difficult to get those paid back funds from social P2P accounts to the credit card. Currently, the cardholder would need to transfer money from the P2P account to their primary banking account, which may take a long time, and then make a credit card payment from their primary banking account. Deep linking reduces the time it takes for money to move around significantly, by removing an intermediary account and immediately applying transferred funds as a payment to the credit card.
This second embodiment allows for linking of social P2P service systems, like SquareCash, Venmo, PayPal, etc., to share balance and funding account information to pay a credit card bill. The cardholder who has both the credit card balance and the social P2P service system can enroll in a payment collection service, thereby initiating a process handled by the financial service system and P2P service systems to establish a deep link between the credit card and P2P accounts through token-based authentication (e.g. OAuth) to pay from the P2P service system balances. Further, the linking creates the opportunity to further fund, or solely fund, the payment from the P2P bank funding account, be it a DDA (demand deposit account) or a debit card. A cardholder is thus enabled to use funds, where they have been paid back by friends directly, to pay to their credit card balance and not make a separate payment involving their primary banking relationship account.
A cardholder may have an enrolled credit card in a P2P service system with the financial service provider system, allowing for direct payment to the credit card. The enrollment process is similar to the first embodiment, wherein the process may involve token-based authentication and deep-linking between the financial service provider system and P2P service systems. The cardholder may want to pay a credit card balance using the P2P service system account (e.g. SquareCash, Venmo, PayPal, etc.) directly without first moving money to an intermediary account. The present (second) embodiment provides a solution that allows a cardholder to pay a credit card balance from a P2P service system.
Consistent with exemplary embodiments herein, the financial service provider system may comprise at least one memory storing instructions and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations.
When the cardholder attempts to pay a balance of an enrolled credit card, in addition to the previously described steps for enrollment, the financial service provider system may perform additional steps. In one exemplary embodiment steps embodied in a set of instruction include: receiving from a cardholder authorization to make a payment from one of the enrolled P2P service systems, sending to the P2P service system selected by the cardholder authorization for payment, receiving full or partial funds from the P2P service system, and applying the received funds to the cardholder's credit card balance.
When the cardholder attempts to pay a balance of an enrolled credit card, in addition to the previously described steps for enrollment, the P2P service systems may perform additional steps embodied in a set of instructions including: receiving from the financial service provider system a cardholder authorization to make a payment, and sending an amount of funds specified in the authorization to the financial service provider system to be applied directly to the cardholder's credit card balance.
In addition to payment collection from a third party source, there may be a need for P2P payment application to a credit card transaction. Aspects of this modification to the second embodiment are illustrated in FIGS. 1A-1C.
When a person tries to split a bill at a restaurant or bar they pay for with friends, there are a multitude of services to make that possible, such as Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, SquareCash, etc. But while the person is waiting to get paid back by the friends, they may be assessed interest charges, or worse, be late on paying for that transaction. In addition to the previously disclosed embodiments, the present embodiment includes a request service used to record that repayment from third parties with whom an expense was shared. In addition, as multiple cardholders may be involved in the transaction, secondary cardholders' devices need to be taken into account.
With this modification to the second embodiment, there is a need for an inbound payment or credit to be applied directly to transactions as opposed to the balance on a credit card. The inbound credits originate from P2P service systems, e.g., PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, SquareCash, etc. In an exemplary embodiment, the credit may be repayment for a split transaction. Data about the transaction is collected from social services and networks during the transaction and later used in applying the inbound credits by matching collected data with the inbound credit to apply to the correct transaction, wherein transaction data includes date, location, transaction amount, split amounts, etc. The collection of transaction data is performed via deep link sharing between the financial service provider system and the P2P service systems.
A link between the card used in the transaction and the request service is utilized to record that repayment from third parties is expected and to grant special rights and privileges to the cardholder for that transaction. Further, the link is used to post an inbound payment or credit to the specific transaction as opposed to the overall balance. The inbound credit, which is tied to the transaction through the data collection is immediately transferred into the balance of the cardholder and applied to the specific transaction. The balance is then adjusted as the credit is applied.
This modification to the second embodiment allows for the fine application of interest based on a final transaction amount, as opposed to a calculation based on Average Daily Balance and the APR. The applied interest is based on a set of business rules defined by the bank and the interest only accrues for the final amount of the transaction after all credits have posted, not on the original amount. In an exemplary embodiment, interest may be applied only to a portion of the transaction attributed to the cardholder, wherein the rest of the transaction may be delayed from incurring interest for a specified period of days.
For example, when friends go out, usually one of the friends will pay the bill. In order to get paid back, that person (cardholder) may receive a Venmo payment to their account balance, stored and controlled by Venmo, a PayPal payment to their account at that service, and maybe another payment from a Zelle user to the cardholder's deposit account, or any other combination of P2P service system payments. The cardholder must then take those disparate payments and make a payment on the credit card balance. This can be a burdensome process. Additionally, if the cardholder is revolving a balance, they are being assessed interest charges on the original total of the transaction for the days the balance remains unpaid.
An additional modification to the present embodiment may include social payment pressure for transaction splitting repayment. Aspects of the modified embodiment are illustrated in FIGS. 2A-2C.
The modified embodiment uses data about a card transaction that is subsequently split across multiple friends and requests repayment from those friends in a social P2P setting to prompt timely and relevant repayment by those friends who owe money as a portion of that transaction. A cardholder who makes a purchase and then makes requests to friends who participated would use their preferred social P2P service system of choice, Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, SquareCash, etc. The data about the transaction would be linked to the Request for Repayment in that P2P service system. The issuing bank would then use data about the card's minimum payment and due date to prompt unpaid requests for payment for parties to issue funds to the initial funder or cardholder, so the cardholder can avoid interest, late payments, etc. The initial funder, as used herein, refers to the person who initially funded the purchase, the initial funder typically, but not necessarily, being the cardholder. These reminders would still be processed by the P2P provider and would be prompted based on shared trigger messages from the financial service provider system. The initial card transaction may also be shared in the social P2P feed to further enhance the prompting experience.
When a person picks up the tab for friends, it may be difficult to get paid back. Even when the person requests repayment from their friends via P2P service systems, the person may not get paid back promptly. And worse, the person may consider it rude and awkward to keep asking. The solution of the present embodiment avoids the awkwardness of asking for the repayment to be made and uses light guilt and social pressure to ensure friends stay friends when they owe each other money.
When a person tries to split a bill at a restaurant or bar that they pay for with friends, there are many services to make that possible: Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, SquareCash, even real cash. Putting a “request” for repayment out to friends is one thing, while getting paid back is another. And continuing to ask can often be awkward. The solution of the present embodiment uses connectivity between the card used for this transaction and the request service used for repayment to spark a higher rate of repayment promptly, without the awkwardness.
A cardholder may have an enrolled credit or debit card in a P2P service system with the financial service provider system, allowing for direct payment application to a bank card transaction wherein the bank card may be a credit or debit card. The enrollment process is similar to that described for prior embodiments in which the process may involve token-based authentication and deep-linking between the financial service provider system and P2P service systems. The cardholder may want to apply funds received as a repayment for a specific transaction using a P2P Service system account (e.g. Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, SquareCash, etc.) applied directly to the transaction. The present embodiment provides a straightforward solution that allows a cardholder to record that repayment is expected for the transaction, and then subsequently posts an inbound payment or credit from a P2P service system to that specific transaction as remittance is received.
When the cardholder attempts to record that repayment is expected for the transaction, e.g., splitting a bill at the restaurant, in addition to previously described steps for enrollment, the financial service provider system may perform additional steps embodied in a set of instructions including: providing API links to P2P service systems to allow for data transmission, wherein data transmitted over the API may include ID validation based on public and private shared info, transaction data, balance data, due date, repayment data, etc.; receiving transaction information from the vendor where the card was used; and analyzing the transaction based on the category, location, amount, past transaction history or the like, wherein analysis can be performed using machine learning, neural networks, a categorical approach, etc. A categorical approach, as used herein, is an approach that applies specific filters to the data that is analyzed, e.g. location based, amount over/under a certain value, etc. Based on the results of the analysis, the cardholder is provided with a suggestion to record that repayment is expected for this transaction. Alternatively, the cardholder may manually tag a transaction identifying that repayment is expected. Based on the confirmation from the cardholder, the financial service provider system will inquire for additional information. Additional information may include the identifying information and number of people the repayment is expected from, amount of repayment per person, type of repayment (e.g., which P2P service system the repayment will come from or which P2P service system the repayment reminder should be sent to), expected date of the repayment, etc. Some or all information might be prepopulated based on the transaction data. The financial service provider system may perform additional steps embodied in instructions including: confirming the request for the repayment, sending one or more requests for repayment to one or more P2P service systems, and receiving repayment act, date, amount, and a sender from the P2P service system. Additionally, if payment is not received in a timely manner, e.g., by the specified date or date of the statement for the cardholder, the financial service provider system may send a reminder request to a P2P service system to be posted to the appropriate person. After the repayment is received, the financial service provider system applies the repayment to the original transaction performed on the card and recalculates interest accordingly if necessary.
When the cardholder attempts to record that repayment is expected for the transaction, e.g. splitting a bill at the restaurant, in addition to previously disclosed steps for enrollment, the P2P service systems may perform additional steps embodied in a set of instruction including: receiving API links from the financial service provider system to allow for data transmission, wherein data transmitted over the API may include ID validation based on public and private shared info, transaction data, balance data, due date, repayment data, etc.; receiving transaction information from financial service provider system tagged as repayment is expected, wherein transaction data may include a number of people the repayment is expected from, amount of repayment per person, expected date of the repayment, etc.; identifying secondary users of the P2P service system listed as people whom the repayment is requested from; sending one or more requests for repayment to one or more secondary users of the P2P service systems; receiving repayment from secondary users of the P2P service systems; if repayment is not received, sending notifications to the appropriate secondary users based on the information received from the financial service provider system; sending data including repayment act, date, amount, and a sender to the financial service provider system; and if a reminder request is received from the financial service provider system, sending a notification to the appropriate secondary user. Secondary users, as used herein, are users of the P2P service system other than the cardholder. The cardholder may be considered a primary user in this context.
In an exemplary embodiment, the cardholder may use an electronic device, e.g. smartphone, tablet, personal computer, etc., to enroll in a transaction repayment service. In addition to previously disclosed steps for enrollment, the cardholder's device may: receive and display push notifications or the like which suggest tagging certain transactions for repayment based on the information received from the financial service provider system; tag a transaction and identify which P2P service system will be used for the repayment; share location services with the financial service provider system for populating required repayment information; and collect and send other identifying transaction information and repayment options as necessary, wherein all actions are available within a single financial service provider application via deep-linking between the financial service provider system and a P2P service system.
In an exemplary embodiment, a secondary user may use an electronic device, e.g. smartphone, tablet, personal computer, etc., to repay a cardholder enrolled in a transaction repayment service. The secondary user's device may receive a request for the repayment in one or more P2P service system applications. Further, the secondary user's device may display notifications or post repayment details on the social P2P feed.
In another exemplary embodiment, the transaction data passed between the financial service provider system and P2P service systems may be recorded on to a blockchain which may be shared between the financial service provider system and P2P service systems, wherein the blockchain includes the original transaction split into blocks based on the P2P service system used for repayment. Such an approach ensures that all repayment transactions within a block are verified, cleared, and stored in a block linked to a preceding block, creating a complete chain for each transaction.

Social Trip Management and Planning

A third embodiment provides social trip management and planning. Aspects of the fifth embodiment are illustrated in FIGS. 3A-3C.
It can be difficult to have “money pools” that automatically track new transactions as they enter a shared social experience of a trip or travel. Today, users may need to increase the money pool amount, predict how much money will be needed ahead of time, or worse, try to add up expenses after the fact. The present embodiment reduces the cognitive load of that process, by automatically adding any tagged transactions to the pool and tagging those that owe it, which serves to reduce the effort to determine amounts owed and the awkwardness of the experience.
The present embodiment is intended to simplify trip planning and expense sharing with friends. The primary spender would use their card consistently throughout the process. The primary spender would initiate an event either manually or by creating a trigger transaction, e.g., booking a hotel, buying a plane ticket, or renting a car. The financial service provider system may automatically tag the transaction based on the result of the analysis performed using machine learning, neural networks, a categorical approach, or the like. Additionally, there could be one or more secondary spenders who spend lower amounts throughout the process.
In an exemplary situation, once the primary spender books lodging it would trigger an event notification from the financial service provider system. The lodging booking is the trigger to start a trip plan or bucket of shared expenses that need to be split across friends. Once confirmed by the primary spender, a trip plan bucket will be established. The primary spender links other participants in their P2P service system of choice: PayPal, Venmo, Squarecash, Zelle, etc. Each friend will have access to see what is owed by them or to them as it accrues for lodging, food, travel, events, outings etc. Transactions might be tagged to specific participants if for example certain expenses are only shared by a subgroup. The embodiment also allows for participants to become secondary spenders by linking their cards if they so choose and add their own transactions to the pool that need to be paid back. When the trip ends or periodically throughout the process, as certain points or triggers are met, the funds are disbursed as needed. The amount is calculated by the primary spender's financial service provider system and is repaid by payments across one or more P2P service systems, based on participants. The repayment might be applied as disclosed in previous embodiments directly to the credit card balance of spenders, used to fund a P2P service system account of the primary spender or deposited in the regular banking accounts of spenders.
Transactions could be automatically tagged by the financial service provider system to easily manage those that owe portions of it by relying on transaction data and performing an analysis by using machine learning, neural networks, a categorical approach, or the like. Funds can be requested automatically when the trip ends or periodically when certain triggers are met, e.g. X number of days pass from the charge, the total amount is above a threshold specified by the primary spender, the payment is due on a credit card of the primary statement, etc. The funds are auto-requested and disbursed as needed, based on the rules specified by the primary spender.
In addition to previously disclosed actions of enrollment and deep linking between the financial service provider and P2P service systems, the financial service provider system performs additional steps including: analyzing cardholder's transaction on the enrolled card using machine learning, neural networks, a categorical approach, or the like; identifying possible trigger transactions; sending a cardholder a notification when a transaction is identified as a possible event type transaction; receiving confirmation from a cardholder; requesting additional information from a cardholder consisting of at least other participants and their P2P service system account identifiers; creating a bucket based on the confirmation and including a list of participants, wherein, the financial service provider system may Include secondary spenders from a list of participants based on the request of one or more participants with an enrolled card; analyzing future transactions and tagging them appropriately based on machine learning, neural networks, categorical approach, or the like; performing live calculations of amounts owed by each party; sending notifications to the P2P service system(s) specified by the cardholder trigger events asking for payments; using similar mechanisms for payments as disclosed in previous embodiments; and closing the bucket after receiving an instruction from the primary spender/cardholder.
Similarly, in addition to previously disclosed actions of enrollment and deep linking between the financial service provider and P2P service systems, the cardholder device may perform additional steps including: receiving notifications from a financial service provider system that transaction is a possible event type, prompting the cardholder to provide the information required for the creation of a bucket, sending the required information to the financial service provider system, enabling the cardholder to modify automatic transaction tags within a bucket as necessary to split the payment properly, and allowing the cardholder to enter specific trigger events which will initiate the financial service provider system to send a notification to other participants of the event via a deep link with the P2P service systems.
Similarly, in addition to previously disclosed actions of enrollment and deep linking between the financial service provider and P2P service systems, the secondary spender device might perform additional steps including: enabling the secondary spender to join an existing bucket, and adding secondary spender's transactions to the bucket and tagging them appropriately.
In an alternative embodiment, the event bucket may be recorded on to a blockchain which may be shared between financial service provider system and P2P service systems. The blockchain may include all the transactions associated with an event and split into blocks based on the P2P service system used for repayment by different users. Alternatively, the transactions associated with an event may be split into blocks based on the individual transaction, tracking each repayment option. Such an approach ensures that all repayment transactions within a block are verified, cleared, and stored in a block linked to a preceding block, creating a complete chain for all the transactions in the bucket.

Social Reporting and Attribution of a Credit Card Transaction

A fourth embodiment provides social reporting and attribution of a credit card transaction. Aspects of the fourth embodiment are illustrated in FIGS. 9A and 9B.
It can be difficult to manage whether you have been paid back by friends for a specific event. This embodiment provides a process of keeping track of whether money repaid by a friend was for the dinner last night, dinner the week before, or something else entirely.
The present embodiment is intended to allow for a transaction, made online or in person, to be attributed to a social feed of a social P2P service system like Zelle, Venmo, Squarecash, PayPal, etc., and to have that transaction tagged and attributed further to third parties who participated in the transaction and event. The embodiment allows for deep link embedding of the transaction data, and enhanced transaction data once scrubbed by proprietary services of a financial service provider system, into the social feed of a cardholder. The cardholder then can tag third parties who participated in the transaction (e.g. friends or acquaintances) to the transaction so their presence was or will be included in the case of booking a future trip. This enables the cardholder to more cleanly request specific amounts of payback from each tagged person in direct relationship to the transaction itself. Additionally, data can be processed by the financial service provider and the cardholder can be presented with one view indicating all of their friends who owe them money at the time of the request in a transaction-by-transaction format, wherein transaction-by-transaction format refers to a view in which a cardholder can view money owed for each transaction on an account independently.
After the cardholder is enrolled in a transaction unification service, cardholder data is shared among entities with which the cardholder consented to linking and sharing of specific data elements. In addition to previously disclosed actions of enrollment and deep linking or an API linking between the financial service provider and P2P service systems, the financial service provider system may perform additional steps including: recognizing an authorized transaction and issuing a notification to a cardholder device, wherein the notification could be a purchase alert which includes an option to send the transaction to the P2P service system for social feed, reporting, and tagging friends for requests; providing card transaction data elements and interaction schema (notifications/alerts with actions) related to authorized and posted transactions, e.g. due dates, payments made or scheduled, etc. to a P2P service system; receiving referential data elements, like “friends”, “contacts”, “requests”, P2P payment history, etc. from the P2P service system; and receiving from a P2P service system repayment records.
Similarly, in addition to previously disclosed actions of enrollment and deep linking between the financial service provider and P2P service systems, the P2P service system may perform additional steps including: sending to a financial service provider referential data elements, like “friends”, “contacts”, “requests”, P2P payment history, etc.; receiving transaction record and repayment requests to certain friends tagged with their amounts; posting on a social feed within P2P service system transaction information, wherein information may include details of the transaction, repayment status, etc.; and sharing the information back to the financial service provider system as information is updated.
The above-described sharing process of the fourth embodiment may create a new containerized ledger for the transaction with new data elements about tagged friends, requests, etc. New data elements that “open” with the purchase authorization do not “close” at posting the way a normal card transaction do, but instead “close” when all required actions have occurred from all parties involved and tagged/linked. In other words, the transaction record stays open until all request and payment actions are completed.
The new data elements may be recorded on to a blockchain which may be shared between financial service provider system and P2P service systems. The blockchain may include all requests and social feed notifications associated with a transaction and split into blocks based on the P2P service system used for repayment by different users. Such an approach ensures that all repayment transactions within a block are verified, cleared, and stored in a block linked to a preceding block, creating a complete chain for each transaction.
In an embodiment that includes a containerized ledger, the financial service provider system may perform additional steps including: creating a centralized ledger; retaining and controlling primary newly created containerized ledger data on a total transaction history (card authorization, card final post, payment history on transaction, Requests, and Request status); retaining full read/write and access controls of data within the ledger; receiving notification from a P2P service system that a transaction is updated; and closing the transaction once all necessary actions are recorded by both parties.
Similarly, in such embodiment in addition to previously disclosed actions, the P2P service system may perform additional steps including: creating a “ghost” record of containerized ledger data; updating ghost record with a status of pending requests from friends related to the transaction; and sending updates to the financial service provider system containing new transaction information.
