20090063361 | Risk and Reward Assessment Mechanism - A data driven and forward looking risk and reward appetite methodology for consumer and small business is described. The methodology includes customer segmentation to create pools of homogeneous assets in terms of revenue and loss characteristics, forward looking simulation to forecast expected values and volatilities of revenue and loss, and risk and reward optimization of the portfolio. One methodology used for modeling revenue and loss is a generalized additive effect decomposition model to fit historical data. Based on the model, a segmentation procedure is performed, which allows for creation of groups of customers with similar revenue and loss characteristics. An estimation procedure for the model is developed and a simulation strategy to forecast and simulate revenue and loss volatility is developed. Efficient frontier curves of risk (e.g., return volatility) and reward (e.g., expected return) are created for the current portfolio under various economic scenarios. | 03-05-2009 |

20130073481 | Risk and Reward Assessment Mechanism - A data driven and forward looking risk and reward appetite methodology for consumer and small business is described. The methodology includes account level historical data collection for customers associated with accounts as part of a portfolio. The account level historical data is segmented into groups of customers with similar revenues and loss characteristics. Segmented data is decomposed into seasoning, vintage, and cycle effects. Statistical clusters are formed based upon the data and effects. A simulation is applied to the statistical clusters and prediction data is generated. A simulation strategy to forecast and simulate revenue and loss volatility is developed. Efficient frontier curves of risk (e.g., return volatility) and reward (e.g., expected return) are created for the current portfolio under various economic scenarios. | 03-21-2013 |

20130325604 | PROVIDING OFFERS IN RESPONSE TO DETERMINATION OF TRIGGERS - Systems and methods for providing offers associated with one or more accounts of a financial institution is provided herein. The system receives account data associated with the one or more accounts; stores the account data in a storage device; identifies account activity for at least one of inbound transactions or outbound transactions based on the account data; and identifies triggers comprising opportunities for providing offers based on the account activity. The system then provides an offer to the user based on the trigger. In some embodiments, the trigger is based on inbound transaction but in other embodiments the trigger is based on outbound transactions. The offer can be specifically related to another party associated with the trigger, e.g., the recipient of a payment, or the offer can be based on the time, amount, or location of the trigger. A computer program product is also provided. | 12-05-2013 |
20130325674 | TRIGGER DATA QUALITY MONITOR - Systems and methods for monitoring trigger data quality are provided herein. The systems and methods detect and report whether the current trigger counts are normal or flawed in real time. The systems and methods monitor the triggers to determine the accuracy, completeness, domain of values, and format of the trigger data. In the system and methods, account data associated with the one or more accounts is received and stored in a storage device; the account data is segregated into one or more periods of time; triggers associated with the one or more periods of time are identified based on transactions that occur during the one or more periods of time; a total transaction count for each of the triggers is calculated; and control limits are determined based on the transaction count for each of the triggers. | 12-05-2013 |
20130325679 | PRODUCTION AND MAINTENANCE FEATURE FOR ACCOUNT RELATED TRIGGERS - Systems and methods for producing and maintaining account related triggers are provided herein. The systems and methods develop effective communication routines to aid in trigger delivery.
