First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for identifying a merchant as a test site, the system comprising:
- a memory device configured to store a set of instructions storing executable instructions that when executed by the processor causes the processor to perform steps of;
acquiring transaction data associated with one or more payment cards, the transaction data including a time of a transaction, a location of the transaction, and amount of the transaction, and a merchant identifier associated with the transaction;
identifying a pattern of transactions within the transaction data, the pattern of transactions associated with the one or more payment cards and the merchant identifier;
comparing the pattern of transactions to a database of abnormalities, the abnormalities associated with testing sites; and
determining that the merchant is a test site based on the comparing the pattern.

Abstract
Approaches for determining a potential payment card that has been tested or a testing site are disclosed. Based on a variety of information, including transaction information associated with one or more cards, information indicative of unscrupulous actors vetting cards can be determined. By reviewing transaction information, patterns can emerge such as a card being used in many different locations within a short time span. Based on these patterns, a test site or compromised merchant can be determined. After a test site is determined, other cards used at the particular test site can also be determined.
