1. A method comprising:
- receiving account data;
parsing the account data to determine an account number;
comparing the parsed account number to a previously submitted account number wherein the previously submitted account number is associated with a successful payment;
determining if there is a likely match between the account number and the previously submitted account number by performing at least one of a plurality of fuzzy logic techniques; and
upon determining that the likely match exists, automatically replacing the parsed account number with the previously submitted account number.

Abstract
Methods and systems for receiving account data, where the account data includes an account number that is compared to a previously submitted account number where the previously submitted account number is associated with a successful payment. It is then determined if there is a likely match between the account number and the previously submitted account number by performing at least one of several fuzzy logic techniques. Upon determining that the likely match exists the parsed account number is automatically replaced with the previously submitted account number.

20. A system, comprising:
-
means for receiving account data, wherein the account data includes an account number;
means for storing a previously submitted account number, wherein the previously submitted account number is associated with a successful payment;
means for comparing the account number to the previously submitted account number;
means for determining if there is a likely match between the account number and the previously submitted account number by performing at least one of a plurality of fuzzy logic techniques; and
means for automatically replacing the parsed account number with the previously submitted account number when the likely match exists.

21. A system, comprising:
-
a database, wherein the database includes a plurality of previously submitted account numbers;
an interface; and
a processor, in communication with the database and interface, wherein the processor is configured to execute software instructions for;
receiving, via the interface, account data, parsing the account data to determine an account number, comparing the parsed account number to a previously submitted account number stored in the database, wherein the previously submitted account number is associated with a successful payment, determining if there is a likely match between the account number and the previously submitted account number by performing at least one of a plurality of fuzzy logic techniques, automatically replacing the parsed account number with the previously submitted account number when the likely match exists, and transmitting, via the network interface, payment information to a financial institution associated with the previously submitted account number.
