20150081377 | DYNAMIC PRICING FOR FINANCIAL PRODUCTS - An aspect of product pricing includes classifying customers into groups based on shared, predefined characteristics and financial transactions, and identifying services rendered and available but not rendered. For each customer, a risk associated with a service is estimated; availability and prices of the service by third parties are determined; a price for the service set by the entity is compared with the prices set by the third parties; and a demand for the service of the entity is estimated as a function of the availability and prices of the service by the third parties. For each customer, a probability that the customer will purchase the service is estimated based on the demand, and a price for the service that is customized for the customer is calculated, as a function of the risk, the demand, and the probability of purchase, and in view of a target profit and/or target revenue. | 03-19-2015 |
20150081378 | TRANSACTIONAL RISK DAILY LIMIT UPDATE ALARM - Embodiments relate to a transactional risk daily limit (TRDL) update alarm. Customer data including historical transaction data and customer profile data is accessed, along with economic data from an external data source. A TRDL alarm analytics model is applied to the customer data and the economic data to predict a number of transactions in a specified time period that are expected to exceed a TRDL. The TRDL alarm analytics model takes into account a payment transaction pattern associated with the customer. A threshold value is compared to the number of transactions in the specified time period that are expected to exceed the TRDL. An increase in the TRDL is requested to be applied at least during the specified time period based on the number of transactions in the specified time period that are expected to exceed the TRDL being greater than the threshold value. | 03-19-2015 |
