This invention describes a system that helps manage payments using temporary, single-use bank account numbers, called Virtual Bank Account Numbers (VBANs). When a user wants to pay a specific company, the system generates a VBAN linked to their real bank account but with specific spending rules. When a transaction request comes in for that VBAN, the system checks if the transaction follows those rules before allowing the payment to go through and debiting the user's real account. The claims specifically describe the process from the perspective of the system receiving the payment request.
Why it matters: Filed in 2023, this concept predates the widespread adoption of advanced AI for real-time fraud detection and dynamic risk assessment in payment processing. The claims focus on rule-based authorization, which could now be significantly enhanced by current machine learning capabilities to adapt to evolving threat vectors and user behavior.
