Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for managing customer data and customer preferences across a plurality of platforms.

BACKGROUND

Many customers link information (e.g., account types, account balances, payment account information, etc.) maintained by a financial institution to devices (e.g., in a mobile wallet on a smartphone, wearable devices, Internet of Things devices, etc.) and to third-party systems (e.g., financial health monitoring services, merchant e-commerce systems, social media platforms, mobile wallet systems, etc.). The customer may share the information with a plurality of different services. For example, the customer may provide account information to a financial health monitoring service, payment card information to a plurality of different mobile wallet services, payment card information to their favorite retailers, and the like. Once the access is provided, the customer can manage preferences relating to the access at each of the third-party systems (e.g., via a third-party website or smartphone application). However, this process can be cumbersome when the customer has authorized a plurality of third-parties to have access to the information maintained by the financial institution.

SUMMARY

One embodiment relates to a method of managing access to customer information associated with a customer of a financial institution. The method includes receiving, by a financial institution computing system associated with a financial institution, a request to view a set of access permissions from a first user device associated with the user. The method also includes identifying, by the financial institution computing system, the set of access permissions associated with the user, the set of access permissions identifying an entity or device that may request information regarding the user from the financial institution. The method also includes generating an access permission dataset based on the identified set of access permissions. The method also includes transmitting, by the financial institution computing system, the access permission dataset to the user device to facilitate the presentation of a data control interface to the customer via the user device, the data control interface configured to receive user inputs to change the set of data access permissions.

Another embodiment relates to a financial institution computing system associated with a financial institution. The financial institution computing system includes a network interface configured to communicate data over a network and an access control circuit. The access control circuit is configured to receive, by the network interface, a request to view a set of access permissions from a first user device associated with the user. The access control circuit is also configured to identify the set of access permissions associated with the user, the set of access permissions identifying an entity or device that may request information regarding the user from the financial institution. The access control circuit is further configured to generate an access permission dataset based on the identified set of access permissions. The access control circuit is further configured to transmit, by the network interface, the access permission dataset to the user device to facilitate the presentation of a data control interface to the customer via the user device, the data control interface configured to receive user inputs to change the set of data access permissions.

These and other features, together with the organization and manner of operation thereof, will become apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Referring to the figures generally, systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing a customer a central location to manage permissions provided to third-parties and devices to access and use customer information maintained by a financial institution are described. The central location serves as a central portal where a customer of the financial institution can manage all access to account information and personal information stored at the financial institution. Accordingly, the customer does not need to log into each individual third-party system or customer device to manage previously provided access to the customer information or to provision new access to the customer information.

Referring to FIG. 1, a view of an information management system 100 is shown according to an example embodiment. As described below in further detail, the information management system 100 facilitates the sharing of customer information associated with a customer 102 and maintained by a financial institution 104 to third-parties systems 106 and customer devices 108. The shared customer information can include any combination of account information associated with financial accounts held by the customer 102 with the financial institution 104 (e.g., types of accounts owned, account numbers, account balances, transaction information, bill due dates, etc.), documents that the customer 102 stores with the financial institution 104 or that are generated by the financial institution 104 (e.g., account statements, tax documents, scanned driver's license/passport, any uploaded files, etc.), and customer personal information stored by the financial institution 104 (e.g., identity information, authentication information, etc.).

The customer 102 is an account holder with the financial institution 104. The financial institution 104 includes a financial institution computing system 110. The financial institution computing system 110 maintains information about accounts held with the financial institution 104 and facilitates the movement of funds into and out of the accounts. Additionally, the financial institution computing system 110 facilitates the sharing of and the provision of access to information associated with customer accounts to the customer 102, to customer devices 108, and to third-party systems 106. The financial institution computing system 110 includes a network interface 112. The network interface 112 is structured to facilitate data communication with other computing systems (e.g., the customer devices 108, the third-party systems 106, etc.) via a network 126. The network interface 112 includes hardware and program logic that facilitates connection of the financial institution computing system 110 to the network 126. For example, the network interface 112 may include a wireless network transceiver (e.g., a cellular modem, a Bluetooth transceiver, a WiFi transceiver, etc.) and/or a wired network transceiver (e.g., an Ethernet transceiver). In some arrangements, the network interface 112 includes the hardware and programming logic sufficient to support communication over multiple channels of data communication (e.g., the Internet and an internal financial institution network). Further, in some arrangements, the network interface 112 is structured to encrypt data sent over the network 126 and decrypt received encrypted data.

The financial institution computing system 110 includes a processing circuit 114 having a processor 116 and memory 118. The processor 116 may be implemented as a general-purpose processor, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), one or more field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), a digital signal processor (DSP), a group of processing components, or other suitable electronic processing components. The memory 118 includes one or more memory devices (e.g., RAM, NVRAM, ROM, Flash Memory, hard disk storage, etc.) that store data and/or computer code for facilitating the various processes described herein. Moreover, the memory 118 may be or include tangible, non-transient volatile memory or non-volatile memory.

The financial institution computing system 110 includes an account management circuit 120 and an access control circuit 122. Although shown as separate circuits in FIG. 1, in some arrangements, the account management circuit 120 and/or the access control circuit 122 are part of the processing circuit 116. Other arrangements may include more or less circuits without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Further, some arrangements may combine the activities of one circuit with another circuit to form a single circuit. Therefore, those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the present arrangement is not meant to be limiting. The account management circuit 120 is structured to perform various account management functions, including maintaining an accounts database 124, updating account balances, applying interest to accounts, processing payments related to accounts, and the like. The access control circuit 122 is structured to manage the sharing and provision of customer information to third-party systems 106 and to customer devices 108 based on permissions and preferences of the customer 102.

The financial institution computing system 110 includes the accounts database 124. In some arrangements, the accounts database 124 is part of the memory 118. The accounts database 124 is structured to hold, store, categorize, and otherwise serve as a repository for information associated with accounts (e.g., loan accounts, savings accounts, checking accounts, credit accounts, etc.) held by the financial institution 104. For example, the accounts database 124 may store account numbers, account balances, transaction information, account ownership information, and the like. The accounts database 124 is structured to selectively provide access to information relating to accounts at the financial institution 104 (e.g., to the customer 102 via a customer device 108). In some arrangements, the financial institution computing system 110 includes other databases, such as customer document and information databases structured to store non-account related information or other documents associated with the customer 102 for distribution to third-parties at the approval of the customer 102.

Still referring to FIG. 1, the system 100 includes at least one third-party system 106. Each third-party system 106 is affiliated with a third-party that the customer 102 can authorize to access information associated with the customer 102 that is stored, generated, maintained, and/or controlled in part by the financial institution 104. For example, the third-party systems 106 may be affiliated with any combination of merchants (e.g., brick-and-mortar retailers, e-commerce merchants, etc.), financial health companies (e.g., investment firms, Mint®, etc.), mobile wallet systems (e.g., third-party mobile wallet systems not affiliated with or operated by the financial institution 104, mobile wallet systems affiliated with or operated by the financial institution 104), payment networks (e.g., payment networks affiliated with credit cards offered by the financial institution 104), social media networks, service providers (e.g., tax filing services), cloud storage systems (e.g., document back-up systems, such as Google® Drive, Dropbox®, etc.), utility providers (e.g., electric companies, cable companies, cell phone providers, gas companies, etc.), messaging networks, personal organizers (e.g., calendar and scheduling services, bill pay services, e-mail systems, etc.), governments, businesses (e.g., employers, businesses requesting information concerning the customer 102), or the like. Each of the third-parties may be provided access to different portions of the information associated with the customer 102 that is stored, generated, maintained, and/or controlled in part by the financial institution 104. For example, an e-commerce merchant may be provided access to payment account and billing address information, while a financial health company may be provided access to account balance information and transaction information. As described in further detail below, the customer 102 can provide a given third-party access to designated information, limit access to information, and revoke access to information through an access control portal (“access control tower”) provided by the financial institution 104.

The customer 102 is associated with various customer devices 108. The customer devices 108 may include, for example, smartphones, tablet computes, laptop computers, desktop computers, wearables (e.g., smart watches, smart glasses, fitness trackers, etc.), internet of things (“TOT”) devices (e.g., Amazon Echo®, smart appliances, etc.). Each of the customer devices 108 may be provided access to different portions of the information associated with the customer 102 that is stored, generated, maintained, and/or controlled in part by the financial institution 104. For example, a smartphone may be provided access to payment account and billing address information for a mobile wallet running on the smartphone, while an IOT device may be provided access to payment information, account balance information, and transaction information to execute purchases and review transactions. As described in further detail below, the customer 102 can provide a given customer device 108 access to designated information, limit access to information, and revoke access to information through the access control tower provided by the financial institution 104. In some arrangements, the customer devices 108 do not communicate with the financial institution computing system 110 via the network 126. For example, the customer devices 108 can include payment cards (e.g., credit cards, debit cards, smart cards, etc.) that have account information that can be linked by the financial institution computing system 110 to account information and customer preferences stored at the financial institution computing system 110.

The devices of the system 100 communicate via the network 126. The network 126 may include any combination of the Internet and an internal private network (e.g., a private network maintained by the financial institution 104). Through data communication over the network 126, the financial institution computing system 110 can share customer information with the third-party systems 106 and the customer devices 108.

The financial institution computing system 110 includes customer information APIs 128 that define how the financial institution computing system 110 communicates customer information with the third-party systems 106 and the customer devices 108. The APIs facilitate the sharing of and access to the customer information stored at the financial institution computing system 110 based on permissions and preferences provided by the customer 102.

The access control circuit 122 controls access to the customer information by the third-party systems 106 and the customer devices 108 via the APIs 128. In some arrangements, the financial institution computing system 110 provisions requested customer data to a given third-party system 106 or customer device 108 for local storage on the third-party system 106 or the customer device 108. For example, the financial institution computing system 110 can provision payment information, such as payment tokens associated with payment accounts, to a mobile wallet system for local storage at the mobile wallet system. In other arrangements, the financial institution computing system 110 provides access to remotely display, present, or analyze customer information stored at the financial institution computing system 110 while the financial institution computing system 110 retains control over the customer information. For example, the financial institution computing system 110 can provide access to a financial health system to present designated customer account information through a financial health website, such as balances, transaction information, and the like, when the financial health system requests the information, without directly transmitting the data to the financial health system.

Generally, through the information management system 100, the customer 102 can provision access to customer information to third-party systems 106 and to customer devices 108 (e.g., by permitting the third-party system 106 or the customer device 108 to communicate with the financial institution computing system 110 to retrieve the customer information). The customer information is maintained by the financial institution 104 via the financial institution computing system 110. The customer information can include any information associated with the customer 102 that is generated by or maintained by the financial institution 104, including customer account information (e.g., account numbers, billing address, balance information, transaction information, account type information, account statements, etc.), personal information (e.g., date of birth, social security number, tax identifications, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, aliases, etc.), information provided to the financial institution 104 during the account opening process (e.g., driver's license scans, passport scans, marriage certificates, property deeds, etc.). Additionally, customer information can include any other information provided by the customer 102 to the financial institution 104 for the purposes of controlling access to the provided information. This other information may include data files, personal information, documents, or the like. The customer 102 can provision access to the customer information through the third-party, the customer device 108, or via the FI computing system data control tower. Additionally, the customer 102 can manage all previously provided access permissions via the data control tower to change an access level, set permissions, revoke access, or the like. As described herein, the provision of the customer information can be managed on a payment level (e.g., managing all third-party and device access to customer account identifying information such as account numbers and billing addresses for the purposes of making payments), on an application level (e.g., managing third party and device access to customer information for purposes of incorporating such information into third party applications), and on a device level (e.g., managing the devices that may receive the customer information).

Referring now to FIG. 2, a more detailed view of a customer device 108 is shown, according to an example embodiment. The customer device 108 shown in FIG. 2 is a customer mobile device 200. The customer mobile device 200 is structured to exchange data over the network 126, execute software applications, access websites, generate graphical customer interfaces, and perform other operations described herein. The customer mobile device 200 may include one or more of a smartphone or other cellular device, a wearable computing device (e.g., eyewear, a watch or bracelet, etc.), a tablet, a portable gaming device, a laptop, and other portable computing devices.

In the example shown, the customer mobile device 200 includes a network interface 202 enabling the customer mobile device 200 to communicate via the network 126, an input/output device (“I/O” device) 204, third party client applications 206, and a financial institution client application 208. I/O device 204 includes hardware and associated logics configured to exchange information with a customer and other devices (e.g., a merchant transaction terminal). An input aspect of the I/O device 204 allows the customer to provide information to the customer mobile device 200, and may include, for example, a mechanical keyboard, a touchscreen, a microphone, a camera, a fingerprint scanner, any customer input device engageable to the customer mobile device 200 via a USB, serial cable, Ethernet cable, and so on. An output aspect of the I/O device 204 allows the customer to receive information from the customer mobile device 200, and may include, for example, a digital display, a speaker, illuminating icons, LEDs, and so on. The I/O device 204 may include systems, components, devices, and apparatuses that serve both input and output functions, allowing the financial institution computing system 110 exchange information with the customer mobile device 200. Such systems, components, devices and apparatuses include, for example, radio frequency transceivers (e.g., RF or NFC-based transceivers) and other short range wireless transceivers (e.g., Bluetooth®, laser-based data transmitters, etc.).

Third party client applications 206 are structured to provide the customer with access to services offered by various third parties (e.g., associated with third party systems 106). Some third party client applications 206 may be hard coded onto the memory of the customer mobile device 200, while other third party client application 206 may be web-based interface applications, where the customer has to log onto or access the web-based interface before usage, and these applications are supported by a separate computing system comprising one or more servers, processors, network interface circuits, or the like (e.g., third party systems 106), that transmit the applications for use to the mobile device.

In some arrangements, the third party client applications 206 are structured to permit management of at least one customer account associated with a third party service. Accordingly, a particular third party client application 206 may be communicably coupled to a third party system 106 via the network 126. Through this communicative coupling, the third party system 106 may provide displays regarding the particular third party service or application. For example, one third party client application 206 may include a calendar application, and the displays provided by third party client application 206 may enable the customer 102 to input information regarding customer events, meetings, appointments (e.g., information regarding the timing and location of customer events). Upon the customer 102 inputting such information regarding the customer events, the customer-input information is stored at a third party system 106, and incorporated into future displays provided to the customer 102 via the third party client application. Through such displays, the customer 102 is able view the previously-input information via a calendar interface. Other third party client applications 206 include, but are not limited to financial health applications (e.g., applications configured to provide the customer 102 with financial advice), and social media applications.

In some embodiments, some of the third party client applications 206 include APIs specifically configured to request information financial institution computing system 110. For example, the financial institution 104 may have arrangements with third parties providing third party client applications 206. Under such arrangements, the customer 102 is able to provide particular third party client applications 206 with access to subsets of information pertaining to the customer 102 stored at the financial institution computing system 110 (e.g., in the accounts database 124). Upon the customer 102 providing such permission to a third party client application 206, the customer mobile device 200 may transmit information requests to the financial institution computing system 110 via such APIs, and utilize information received from the financial institution computing system 110 to update the displays rendered viewable by the customer 102 via the third party client application 206.

To illustrate, the customer 102 may provide a calendar application with customer bill payment information stored at the financial institution computing system 110. The calendar application may include a widget specifically configured to enable the customer 102 to insert the bill payment information into the calendar application. This way, the customer 102 is reminded of bill payments in the third party client application 206.

In various arrangements, the particular communications channel through which customer financial information is provided to the third party client application 206 may vary depending on the implementation of the third party client application 206. For example, if the third party client application 206 is web-based, a third party system 106 providing the third party client application 206 to the customer mobile device 200 may receive the customer information maintained at the financial institution computing system 110, and incorporate that information into various displays rendered on the customer mobile device 200 via the third party client application 206

In situations where a third party client application 206 is a native application on the customer mobile device 200, the customer mobile device 200 may formulate and transmit an information request via an API in the third party client application 206 to the financial institution computing system 110. The information request may include an identifier (e.g., encryption key) that is based at least in part on the identity of the third party client application 206. As such, depending on the application permissions provided by the customer 102 via the methods described herein, the financial institution computing system 110 may allow or deny the third party client application 206 access to the requested information.

The financial institution client application 208 is structured to provide displays to the customer mobile device 200 that enable the customer 102 to manage financial accounts. Accordingly, the financial institution client application 208 is communicably coupled to the financial institution computing system 110 (e.g., the account management circuit 120 and the access control circuit 122) and is structured to permit management of the customer financial accounts and transactions. The displays provided by the financial institution client application 208 may be indicative of current account balances, pending transactions, profile information (e.g., contact information), and the like.

Further, in some embodiments, the financial institution client application 208 is structured to present displays pertaining to the access control tower discussed herein. In this regard, via the financial institution client application 208, the customer mobile device 200 is configured to receive various datasets from the financial institution computing system 110 describing the entities (e.g., third party systems 106, customer devices 108, third party applications 206) to which the customer 102 has provided access to customer financial information. The customer mobile device 200, via the financial institution client application 208, is configured to render such datasets into various data control tower interfaces. As described herein, through such interfaces, the customer 102 is able to modify the quantity of information available to these entities, and provide additional entities with access to information at the financial institution computing system 110.

In some embodiments, the customer mobile device 200 is configured (e.g., via the financial institution client application 208) to perform various operations described herein as being performed by the financial institution computing system 110. For example, in one embodiment, financial institution client application 208 includes APIs structured to integrate with various third party client applications 206 on the customer mobile device 200. Through such APIs, customer information received from the financial institution computing system 110 via the financial institution client application 208 may be shared with the third party client applications 206, and utilized by the third party client applications 206.

In some embodiments, the financial institution client application 208 is a separate software application implemented on the customer mobile device 200. The financial institution client application 208 may be downloaded by the customer mobile device 200 prior to its usage, hard coded into the memory of the customer mobile device 200, or be a web-based interface application such that the customer mobile device 200 may provide a web browser to the application, which may be executed remotely from the customer mobile device 200. In the latter instance, the customer 102 may have to log onto or access the web-based interface before usage of the applications. Further, and in this regard, the financial institution client application 208 may be supported by a separate computing system including one or more servers, processors, network interface circuits, etc. that transmit applications for use to the customer mobile device 200.

It should be understood that other customer devices 108 (e.g., customer devices 108 other than a customer mobile device 200) may include applications that are similar to the third party client applications 206 and financial institution client application 208 discussed above. For example, a customer smart appliance may include an application associated with the financial institution 104 that enables the customer 102 to view the access control tower, and manage customer accounts. In another example, a customer smart speaker may include an application through which the customer 102 may modify access permissions to various entities via voice commands.

Referring to FIG. 3, a flow diagram of a method 300 of managing access to customer information maintained by the financial institution 104 is shown according to an example embodiment. The method 300 is performed by the financial institution computing system 110 (e.g., by the access control circuit 122, by the processor 116, etc.).

The method 300 begins when a customer 102 is authenticated at 302. The financial institution computing system 110 receives an authentication request from the customer 102 via a computing device associated with the customer (e.g., a smartphone via a mobile banking application, a computing device via a web-based banking portal, etc.). In an alternate arrangement, the request may be received via an ATM associated with the financial institution 104. The authentication request indicates that an individual purporting to be the customer 102 is attempting to access the access control tower to manage access to the customer information associated with the customer 102. The authentication request includes customer authentication information (e.g., customer name, password, biometric, debit card dip in an ATM, PIN, etc.). Based on the customer authentication information, the request is either granted or denied. If the request is denied, step 302 of the method 300 does not occur, and the method 300 ends. The description of the method 300 continues for situations in which the customer 102 is authenticated.

Access to the data control tower portal is provided at 304. After the customer 102 is authenticated, the financial institution computing system 110 provides the customer 102 access to the data control tower portal. The access to the data control tower portal may be facilitated through a computing device associated with the customer (e.g., a smartphone via a mobile banking application, a computing device via a web-based banking portal, etc.). The computing device presents interactive graphical customer interfaces to the customer 102 through which the customer 102 can manage the access controls for the customer information. The data control tower portal may be part of a mobile banking application or a remote banking website associated with the financial institution 104. As noted above, in some arrangements, the access to the customer information can be managed on a payments level (e.g., managing all of the third parties that the customer 102 may engage in a transaction with accounts held by the customer 102 at the financial institution 104), on a device level (e.g., managing which customer devices 108 have access to data stored at the financial institution computing system 110), and on an application level (e.g., managing all third party client applications 206 on a customer mobile device 200 that have access to information stored at the financial institution computing system 110). FIGS. 4-7 and FIGS. 11-13 show example customer interfaces associated with the data control tower that demonstrate various management features of the data control tower.

Referring to FIG. 4, a data control tower customer interface 400 is shown according to an example embodiment. The customer interface 400 is shown as a display on the customer mobile device 200. The customer interface 400 includes a payments toggle 404, an applications toggle 406, and a devices toggle 408. As shown by the bolded outline of the payments toggle 404, the payments toggle 404 is selected. Accordingly, the customer interface 400 is a payment level customer interface. While in the payment level customer interface, the customer 102 can select an account held by with the financial institution 104 via the dropdown box 410. As shown in FIG. 4, the customer 102 has selected a checking account. After selecting a specific account, a merchant listing 412 and a wallet listing 418 is populated. Each entry in the merchant listing 412 identifies a merchant (e.g., brick-and-mortar merchants and ecommerce merchants) to which the customer 102 has provided or may provide permission to which make a payment with an account (e.g., the selected checking account) held by the customer 102 at the financial institution 104.

To populate the merchant listing 412, the financial institution computing system 110 may access the accounts database 124. For example, the access control circuit 122 may retrieve a customer transaction history from the accounts database 124 and identify various merchants at which the customer 102 performed transactions using the selected checking account (or other accounts held by the customer 102 at the financial institution 104). Alternatively, the customer 102 may have previously permitted the financial institution 104 to provide account information to various merchants (e.g., via the add button 426 described below). Alternatively, the financial institution computing system 110 may transmit various requests to third party systems 106 which, in response (e.g., via various APIs provided at the third party systems 106) may transmit indications to the financial institution computing system 110 that the customer 102 has provided information describing the checking account (e.g., an account number) to the third party system 106. For example, the financial institution 104 may have arrangements with various merchants. Under such arrangements, the merchants may agree to notify the financial institution 104 upon the customer providing information associated with the financial institution 104 (e.g., information pertaining to a customer account) to the merchant.

Each entry in the merchant listing 412 may include a display button 414 as well as a status indicator 416. By pressing the display button 414 associated with a particular entry, the customer may provide an input to program logic being executed by the customer mobile device 200 (e.g., program logic that is part of the financial institution client application 208) to update the interface 400 to incorporate a merchant access mechanism for the merchant of the entry. The merchant access mechanism may be incorporated into the interface 400 in a similar manner as the wallet access mechanisms 424 described below. The merchant access mechanism may identify the information pertaining to the checking account (or other account) that was provided to the merchant. In various embodiments, the merchant access mechanism may include a tokenized account number (e.g., a surrogate value for the actual account number of the checking account), an actual account number, a debit card number, and so on.

The status indicators 416 indicate the status of various access permissions that the customer 102 has provided to various merchants. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the customer 102 is currently permitting each of the merchants identified in the merchant listing 412 to access at least some form of customer information maintained at the financial institution computing system 110. However, in some embodiments, the customer 102 may provide an input to program logic being executed by the customer mobile device 200 by interacting with the status indicators 416. For example, the customer 102 may revoke a particular merchant's permission to access customer information by pressing the “off” portion of a particular status indicator 416. In response, the customer mobile device 200 may transmit a notification signal to the financial institution computing system 110 and, in response, the access control circuit 122 may update the permissions for that merchant such that the financial institution computing system 110 will not grant various information requests regarding the customer 102 transmitted by the third party system 106 to the financial institution computing system 110 over the network 126. Alternatively or additionally, the financial institution computing system 110 may update settings associated with the customer 102's account such that any transaction request from that merchant is denied. Thus, by the interface 400, the customer 102 is able to control the access of various third party systems 106 to information.

Still referring to FIG. 4, the interface 400 further includes a wallet listing 418. The wallet listing 418 may include various entries (e.g., wallet 1 and wallet 2) describing various payment services that the customer has permitted the financial institution 104 to provide account information to. The payment services may include applications through which the customer 102 may perform various types of transactions (e.g., online transactions, person-to-person transactions, mobile wallet transactions, etc.). As such, entries in the wallet listing 418 may include mobile wallet applications (e.g., Samsung Pay®, Apple Pay®, etc.) and person-to-person payment applications (e.g., Venmo®, Zelle™, PayPal®, etc.). Similar to the entries in the merchant listing 412 discussed above, each entry may include a display button 420 and a status indicator 422. As indicated by the bolded outline of the display button 420, the display button 420 associated with a particular entry in the wallet listing 418 has been selected by the customer 102. As shown, upon the customer 102 selecting the display button 420, various wallet access mechanisms 424 are shown.

The wallet access mechanisms 424 may include the information that the customer 102 has permitted the payment service associated with the entry (e.g., wallet 2) of the wallet listing to access by the methods described herein. In the example shown, the wallet access mechanisms 424 present the customer 102 information pertaining to all account information that the customer 102 has permitted the payment service to access. As such, wallet access mechanisms 424 include an account number associated with both a credit account and a debit account (e.g., associated with the checking account). It should be understood that, in alternative arrangements, only wallet access mechanisms associated with the account selected via the dropdown box 410 may be shown. Additionally, different wallet access mechanisms 424 such as tokens, account names, and the like associated with the customer 102's accounts may also be shown. As shown in FIG. 4, the customer 102 has turned off the payment service's access to the debit card number associated with the checking account, and permitted the payment service to access to access the credit card number associated with a credit account held by the customer 102. In some embodiments, responsive to the customer 102 revoking an access permission to a particular wallet, the financial institution computing system 110 may transmit a signal to a third party wallet provider associated with the wallet configured to cause a payment token or the like to be deleted at the third party wallet provider.

The customer interface 400 also includes an add button 426 and a delete button 428. If the customer 102 interacts with the add button 426, the customer 102 can add a new merchant and/or payment service to the merchant listing 412 and/or wallet listing 418. For example, in response to the customer 102 selecting the add button 426, an additional interface is presented to the customer 102. The additional interface may include a drop down menu listing various merchants that the customer 102 may select to provide permission to access the customer information. Additionally, the interface may enable the customer 102 to identify the particular information that may be provided to the identified merchant. Upon the customer selecting a particular merchant to grant permission, the financial institution computing system 110 may update the access permissions stored in association with the account of the customer 102. As a result, upon receipt of a request from the identified merchant (e.g., via a third party system 106 over the network 126), the financial institution computing system 110 may provide the selected information to the merchant.

Referring to FIG. 5, a data control tower customer interface 500 is shown according to an example embodiment. The customer interface 500 is similar to the customer interface 400. As such, like numbering is used between FIGS. 4 and 5 to designate like components of the customer interfaces 400 and 500. The customer interface 400 is shown as being displayed on the customer mobile device 200. As with the customer interface 400, the customer interface 500 includes the payments toggle 404, the application toggle 406, and the devices toggle 408. As shown by the bolded outline of the applications toggle 406, the applications toggle 406 is selected. Accordingly, the customer interface 500 is an application level management customer interface. As shown, the interface 500 includes a listing 502 of various applications that the customer 102 has provided access to various forms of customer information maintained at the financial institution computing system 110. The listing 502 may include various third party client applications 206 installed on the customer mobile device 200 and/or other customer devices 108 that the customer 102 has provided access to information stored at the financial institution computing system 110.

Similar to the interface 400 discussed above, each entry in the application listing 502 may include a display button 504 and a status indicator 506. As indicated by the bolded outline of the display button 504, the customer 102 has selected the display button 504 to cause an application access mechanism 508 to be shown. The application access mechanism 508 may include a description of the customer information to which the customer 102 has provided the application access to. In the example shown, the application associated with the selected display button 504 is a calendar application and the access mechanism is the customer's bill payments. By providing the calendar application with access to the customer 102's bill payments, the customer 102 may be reminded of upcoming payments via the calendar application. As such, various events or reminders may be created by the calendar application based on the information provided by the financial institution 104. For example, upon the customer 102 providing the calendar application with access to customer bill payment information (e.g., describing the recipient of the upcoming payment, the due date, and the amount owed), the calendar application may list upcoming payments owed by the customer 102.

The customer 102 may first provide the calendar application with access to customer bill payment information by, for example, hitting the add button 426. Upon the customer 102 hitting the add button 426, the customer 102 may be brought to another interface enabling the customer 102 to identify an application to provide with access to customer financial data.

Referring now to FIG. 6, a data control tower customer interface 600 is shown according to an example embodiment. Like numbering is used between FIGS. 4-6 to designate like components of the customer interfaces 400, 500, and 600. The customer interface 600 is shown as displayed on the customer mobile device 200. As with the customer interfaces 400 and 500, the interface 600 includes a payment toggle 404, and application toggle 406, and a devices toggle 408. As shown by the bolded outline of the application toggle 406, the application toggle 406 is selected. In some embodiments, the customer interface 600 is presented upon the customer 102 selecting the add button 426 of the interface 500 discussed above. The interface 600 includes an application dropdown 602, a features dropdown 604, an account selection dropdown 606, a cancel button 608, and a submit button 610. The application dropdown 602 includes a list of various applications. For example, upon the customer 102 selecting the add button 426 on the interface 500, program logic being executed by a processor of the customer mobile device 200 may access an application registry to identify various applications installed on the customer mobile device 200. The application dropdown 602 may include an entry for each application installed on the customer mobile device 200. Alternatively, the application dropdown 602 may include a subset of the applications installed on the customer mobile device 200. For example, the financial institution 104 may only share customer information with a set of applications provided by trusted entities. As such, the program logic being executed by the processor of the customer mobile device 200 may cross reference the applications that are installed on the customer mobile device 200 with a list of trusted applications (e.g., based on application keys, titles, or the like) and incorporate the trusted applications that are installed on the customer mobile device 200 into the application dropdown.

The features dropdown 604 may include a dropdown list of various forms of information maintained by the financial institution computing system 110. Using the features dropdown, the customer 102 may select the forms of information to share with the application selected via the application dropdown 602. In some arrangements, the forms of information provided by the features dropdown 604 may be dependent on the particular application selected by the customer 102. Accordingly, once the customer 102 selects an application via the application dropdown, the features dropdown 604 may be populated. In the example shown, the customer 102 has selected a calendar application via the application dropdown 602 and selected to provide the calendar application with access to information regarding customer bill payments. After providing the calendar application with such access, the customer 102 may setup the calendar application to use the bill payment information. Such a setup process is described below in relation to FIGS. 8-9.

The accounts dropdown 606 lists various accounts held by the customer 102 at the financial institution 104. The customer 102 may select the account to use in conjunction with the selected application and/or feature. In the example shown, the customer 102 has selected a checking account to use in conjunction with a bill payment features integrated with the calendar application. Thus, according to the processes described below, the customer 102 may setup payments via the calendar application using the selected payment account. The cancel button 608 enables the customer 102 to cancel adding an application to the listing 502 of the interface 500. In some embodiments, upon the customer 102 selecting the cancel button 608, the customer 102 is brought back to the interface 500. The submit button 610 enables the customer 102 to provide an input to the program logic being executed to the customer mobile device 200 to share the identified information with the selected application. As such, the selected information may be incorporated into the selected application to facilitate the customer 102's utilization of the selected application.

Referring now to FIG. 7, a data control tower customer interface 700 is shown according to an example embodiment. The customer interface 600 is similar to the customer interfaces 400-500. Like numbering is used between FIGS. 4-7 to designate like components. The customer interface 700 is shown as displayed on the customer mobile device 200. As with customer interfaces 400 and 500, the customer interface 700 includes the payments toggle 404, the applications toggle 406, and the devices toggle 408. As shown by the bolded outline of the devices toggle 408, the devices toggle 408 is selected by the customer 102. Accordingly, the customer interface 700 is a device level management customer interface. While in the device level management customer interface, the customer 102 can manage the information that various customer devices 108 have access to.

In the example shown, the interface 700 includes a device listing 702. The device listing may list various customer devices 108 that the customer 102 has registered with the financial institution 104. For example, for each customer device 108, the customer 102 may download and install an application provided by the financial institution 104, or register the customer device 108 via a website provided by the financial institution computing system 110. Upon registration and/or installation, a device identifier may be assigned to each customer device 108 by the financial institution computing system 110 and stored in association with the customer 102 (e.g., in the accounts database 124). Upon the customer 102 accessing the data control tower portal (e.g., at step 304 of the method 300), the financial institution computing system 110 may retrieve the various device identifiers stored in association with the customer 102 and transmit a device dataset to the customer mobile device 200 that is used by, for example, a mobile banking application of the customer mobile device 200 to populate the listing 702.

Various forms of customer devices 108 may populate various entries of the listing 702. Customer devices 108 may include, for example, smart phones, wearable computing devices (e.g., smart watches, smart glasses, and the like), smart speakers, vehicle computing devices, various IOT devices (e.g., thermostats, appliances, televisions, and the like), smart phones, tablets, video game counsels, and the like. Similar to the interfaces 400 and 500, each entry in the listing 702 may include a display button 704 and a status indicator 706. As shown by the bolded outline of the display button 704, the display button 704 of that particular entry has been selected by the customer 102. Selection of the display button 704 causes a device access mechanism 708 to be presented to the customer 102. Device access mechanism 708 may inform the customer 102 as to the type of information that may be accessed via the customer device 108 associated with the entry. In the example shown, the customer 102's smart speaker (e.g., an Amazon Echo®) has been provided with access to the transaction history of the customer maintained at the accounts database 124. In some embodiments, in response to the customer 102 selecting the display button 704, a plurality of potential device access mechanisms 708 may be presented to the customer 102. The device access mechanisms 708 may include all potential information that the customer may provide to the customer device 108 associated with the selected entry. Depending on the implementation, such device access mechanisms may include, amongst other things, customer account balance information, customer bill payment information, a customer transaction history, customer alerts, and customer account identifying information (e.g., account numbers, tokens, etc.).

By hitting the display button 704, the customer 102 may selectively modify the access of various customer devices 108 to various forms of information via manipulation of the status indicators 706. For example, by manipulating a status indicator 706 relating to a particular customer device 108, the customer 102 may provide an input to program logic (e.g., of a mobile banking application) being executed by the processor the customer mobile device 200. The input may cause the customer mobile device 200 to transmit a signal to the financial institution computing system 110 over the network 126 causing the financial institution computing system 110 to update customer account settings. For example, upon receipt of such a signal, the financial institution computing system 110 may update an entry of a customer device dataset maintained at the accounts database 124. The entry may include the device identifier discussed above associated with the selected customer device 108 as well as various access permissions. The entry may be updated such that, if the customer 102 were to attempt to access information from the selected customer device 108, the information would not be provided to the customer device 108 (e.g., the customer 102 may be presented with an “information unavailable” screen, or the like).

While the above examples relate to interfaces presented to the customer 102 via a customer mobile device 200, it should be understood that the customer 102 may perform similar operations with respect to several other types of customer devices 108. For example, the customer 102 may also adjust the third party systems 106 that have access to the customer financial information via a smartwatch, a smart appliance, a computing system in a vehicle of the customer 102, a smart speaker, and any other customer device 108 via applications or websites associated with the financial institution 104 implemented thereon.

Referring again to FIG. 3 and the method 300, updated access permissions or settings are received at 306. The financial institution computing system 110 receives the updated access permissions or settings from the customer 102 via the access control tower portal (e.g., from a computing device that the customer 102 is using to access the access control tower portal). The updated access permissions or settings may relate to merchants, payment services, applications, and devices discussed with respect to FIGS. 4-7.

The financial institution computing system 110 determines if external action is required to implement the updated access permissions or settings at 308. In some arrangements, the type of access permission or setting being updated requires that the financial institution computing system 110 transmits commands to a customer device 108 or to a third-party system 106 to implement the updated access permissions or settings. For example, if the updated access permission or setting relates to revoking or provisioning a payment token stored on a customer device 108, the financial institution computing system 110 may need to send a command to either (1) deactivate or remove the payment token from the customer device 108 or the third-party systems 106 affiliated with the mobile wallet (e.g., a third-party mobile wallet server, a payment network server that manages a token vault associated with the payment token, etc.) or (2) activate or provision the token to the mobile wallet via the customer device 108 and/or the third-party systems 106. In other arrangements, the type of access permission or setting being updated can be performed at the financial institution computing system 110 without additional commands sent to a customer device 108 or a third-party system 106. For example, if the updated access permission or setting relates to revoking a third-party's access to account balance information, the financial institution computing system 110 can perform an internal update at the financial institution computing system 110 adjusting the API permissions associated with the third-party without the need to send a command to the third-party system 106 associated with the affected third-party.

If external action is required, commands are transmitted to the appropriate recipient at 310. The financial institution computing system 110 transmits the update commands to the appropriate third-party systems 106 and/or customer devices 108. If no external action is required, the updated access permissions or settings are implemented at 312. The financial institution computing system 110 updates internal account access permissions or settings in the accounts database 124. Additionally, in some arrangements, the update to the account access permissions or settings requires both external and internal action. In such arrangements, both steps 310 and 312 are performed. Based on the updated settings and permissions, the financial institution computing system 110 facilitates the sharing (or denial of requests to access) customer information to the external systems (e.g., customer devices 108 and third-party systems 106).

In an example implementation, the customer 102 may utilize the data control portal to update payment information stored at various third party systems 106. For example, if the customer 102 gets a new account at the financial institution 104 or losses a credit card, the customer 102 may wish to update the payment information stored at the various third party systems 106. In some embodiments, upon the customer 102 updating account information stored in the accounts database 124, the financial institution computing system 110 (e.g., via the access control circuit 122) is configured to provide the updated information to the various third parties, applications, and devices to which the customer has provided access via the data control portal. For example, upon the customer changing an account number, the financial institution computing system 110 may transmit an information packet including the updated account information and a customer identifier to the third party system 106 associated with a particular merchant. Such customer identifiers may be established between the financial institution 104 and third party upon the customer providing the third party with access to information stored at the financial institution computing system 110. Thus, based on the customer identifier, the third party system 106 may identify a customer account at the third party (e.g., a shopping account) and update the customer's financial information associated with the account. Such a process may be repeated for any third party systems 106 having access to customer financial information. As such, the customer needn't update account information stored at individual third party systems 106, as this can be accomplished via a single visit to the data control tower.

Referring now to FIG. 8, a third party client application interface 800 is shown, according to an example embodiment. The third party client application interface 800 may be rendered by a third party client application 206 on the customer mobile device 200 upon the customer 102 providing the third party client application 206 with access to financial data (e.g., as discussed above with respect to FIGS. 5-6. In the example shown, the third party client application 206 is a calendar application. As such, the interface 800 includes a calendar window 802 describing various customer events. The interface 800 also includes addition buttons 804 enabling the customer 102 to add items that are included in the calendar window 802. In the example shown, among the addition buttons 804 is a financial event button 806. In an example, the third party client application 206 rendering the interface 800 includes a widget specifically configured to generate the financial event button 806 upon receipt of financial data from the financial institution computing system 110. In the example shown, the customer 102 has provided the third party client application 206 with information regarding customer bill payments (coinciding with the example shown in FIG. 6).

In an example, upon the customer 102 selecting the financial events button 806, the third party client application 206 configures the customer mobile device 200 to request customer bill payment information (e.g., via the customer mobile device 200 or via a combination of the customer mobile device 200 and a third party system 106) from the financial institution computing system 110. In response, the financial institution computing system 100 verifies that the access permissions stored in association with the customer 102 permit the requested information to be provided to the third party client application 206. If so, the requested customer financial data is provided to a computing system (e.g., the customer mobile device 200 or a third party system 106) associated with the third party client application 206.

Third party client application interface 800 further includes a financial information window 808 that includes the customer financial information received from the financial institution computing system 110. In the example shown, the financial information window 808 lists an upcoming bill payment 810. As such, through the systems and methods disclosed herein, the customer 102 is able to request and view financial data from various vantage points.

Upon the customer 102 selecting the upcoming bill payment 810, the displays presented via the third party client application 206 may be updated. Referring to FIG. 9, another third party client application interface 900 is shown, according to an example embodiment. The application interface 900 may be presented to the customer 102 upon the customer 102 selecting the upcoming bill payment 810 discussed in relation to FIG. 8. As shown, the interface includes a calendar window 902 describing various customer events. Calendar window 902 includes an additional event 904 that describes the upcoming bill payment 810 selected by the customer 102. Additionally, the interface 900 includes an addition button 906 enabling the customer 102 to input information regarding an additional customer event.

Interface 900 also includes a payment window 908. For example, the third party client application 206 rendering the interface 900 on the customer mobile device 200 may include a payments widget configured to generate transaction requests using customer account information received from the financial institution computing system 110 in accordance with various systems and methods disclosed herein. As discussed above in relation to FIG. 5, the customer may indicate a preference to provide a third party client application 206 with access to customer checking account information. Thus, the financial institution computing system 110, upon receiving an information request generated via the third party client application 206, may transmit both the customer bill payment information and the customer checking account information. Such information may be used by the third party client application 206 to formulate a transaction request in response to the customer 102 indicating such a preference (e.g., via the payment button 910). The payments widget may enable the customer 102 to request that a payment be made for the bill depicted by the additional event 904. The interface 900 also enables the customer 102 to change the account information shared with the third party client application 206 via an edit button 912. Upon the customer 102 selecting the edit button 912 an additional interface may be displayed to the customer 102 that enables the customer 102 to provide inputs to change the account used to make the depicted payment.

Referring now to FIG. 10, a data control tower interface 1000 is shown, according to an example embodiment. The data control tower interface 1000 is shown as a display presented via the customer mobile device 200 (e.g., via the financial institution client application 208). In some embodiments, the interface 1000 serves as an alternative to the interfaces 400, 500, and 700 described above. As shown, the interface 1000 includes a generic access toggle 1002 and an account-by-account toggle 1004. As indicated by the emboldened generic access toggle 1002, the generic access toggle 1002 has been selected by the customer 102. The interface 1000 includes a connection search box 1006, functionality access points 1008, an entity listing 1010, and a device listing 1112. The connection search box 1006 enables the customer 102 to input the identity of an entity (e.g., application, merchant, or device) to which the customer 102 has provided access to the customer information. The functionality access points 1008 include various icons providing the customer with access to various functionalities provided via the financial institution client application 208. For example, the functionality access points 1008 may provide the customer with access to view balances associated with their accounts, transfer funds between accounts, register for accounts, make payments via a mobile wallet associated with the financial institution 104, and view statements associated with the accounts.

The entity listing 1010 lists each entity (e.g., applications and merchants) that the customer has provided any sort of access to the customer information stored at the financial institution computing system 110. The entity listing 1010 includes a plurality of selectable entries 1012. Each entry may list the number of accounts that have been connected to the associated entity. Upon the customer selecting a particular entity, a different interface may be presented to the customer 102 enabling the customer 102 to update that entity's access permissions. The device listing 1014 lists each customer device 108 having access to customer information. Similar to the entity listing 1010, the device listing 1014 includes entries 1016 associated with particular customer devices 108. While the entity listing 1010 and the device listing 1014 are shown as been separate from one another, it should be understood that, in one embodiment, the entity listing 1006 and device listing 1110 are combined into a single listing.

In various embodiments, the data control tower interface 1000 may take alternative forms. For example, in some embodiments, the generic access toggle 1002 enables the customer to view/scroll through various categories of accesses to customer information. For example, a first category box may generally include a listing of the customer's accounts or cards associated with the financial institution 104. Via this category box, the customer may select any of the cards to view various forms of information regarding the selected card (e.g., balance, general off and on status, transaction listing, etc.). An example of such an interface presented to the customer when the customer selects a card is described with respect to FIG. 20. Additional category boxes may include recurring payments made via the customer's accounts at the financial institution 104, the customer's application data sharing preferences, and the customer's mobile wallets. As such, the data control tower interface 1000 provides the customer with a single access point to perform a various diverse array of actions with respect to their finances.

In some embodiments, an additional category of accesses to customer information may include aggregators that access the customer's information at the financial institution 104 on behalf of the customer to perform functions on behalf of the customer. By selecting a particular aggregator on the data control tower interface 1000, the customer may provide inputs to disable the aggregator's access to customer information. For example, the financial institution computing system 110 may update access permissions associated with the customer information APIs 128 to deny information requests coming from third party systems 106 known to be associated with the aggregator. As such, the customer has control over the locations to which private information is disseminated. Other aggregators may utilize customer account information (e.g., account numbers) obtained from the financial institution 104 to make payments on behalf of the customer. For these types of aggregators, the data control tower interface 1000 enables the customer to quickly turn off payments made by these aggregators.

In some instances, aggregators that customers permit to access their information may provide the information to third parties (i.e., “sub-aggregators.”). Such data transfers between aggregators and sub-aggregators limit the customers' ability to control locations at which their data is stored. Beneficially, the systems and methods described herein enable customers to prevent such transfers. This is accomplished through the financial institution 104 monitoring relationships between aggregators and various sub-aggregators. For example, as part of an information sharing arrangement between an aggregator and the financial institution 104 (e.g., to establish a customer information API 128), the financial institution may require the aggregator to recurrently provide an updated listing of sub-aggregators with which they share information. Additionally, the financial institution 104 may require the aggregator to update their sharing of customer information with the sub-aggregators in response to the customer providing an input to do so via the data control tower portal described herein. Using the information provided by the aggregators under such an arrangement, the financial institution 104 may maintain a directory mapping aggregators to sub-aggregators.

In some embodiments, the directory is used to populate the data control tower interface 1000. For example, upon the customer providing an input to view an aggregator's access permissions, the customer mobile device 200 may query the directory for a listing of sub-aggregators associated with that aggregator (i.e., a listing of sub-aggregators that the selected aggregator shares information with). The listing of sub-aggregators may appear on the data control tower interface 1000 in conjunction with a set of toggle switches enabling the customer to turn off that sub-aggregator's access to the customer's information. Upon the customer turning off a sub-aggregator's access, the customer mobile device 200 (e.g., either directly or via the financial institution computing system 110) may issue a command to a third party system 106 associated with the selected aggregator to update data access permissions such that the customer information is no longer shared with the indicated sub-aggregator. Thus, the data control tower portal described herein provides the customer with very complete control of the locations at which their information is accessed.

Referring now to FIG. 11, a data control tower interface 1100 is shown, according to an example embodiment. The data control tower interface 1100 is similar to the data control tower interface 1000 described with respect to FIG. 10 in that the interface 1100 also includes a generic access toggle 1002, an account-by-account access toggle 1004, and a connections search box 1006. As indicated by the emboldened account-by-account access toggle 1002, the account-by-account access toggle 1004 has been selected by the customer 102.

As shown, the interface 1100 includes a first account listing 1102 and a second account listing 1106. The first and second account listings 1102 and 1106 including listings 1104 and 1108 of various entities (e.g., applications, customer devices 108, third party systems 106) that the customer has provided information regarding the associated account to. As such, the customer 102 may quickly view various locations that currently have access to information associated with a particular account.

Referring now to FIG. 12, an entity permission control interface 1200 is shown, according to an example embodiment. The entity permission control interface 1200 (or another interface similar thereto) may be presented to the customer 102 (e.g., via the financial institution client application 208) upon the customer selecting an entity in any of the listings 1010, 1014, 1102, and/or 1108 described with respect to FIGS. 10 and 11. In the example shown, the interface 1200 is presented to the customer 102 upon the customer 102 selecting a merchant in merchant listing 1010 described with respect to FIG. 10. As shown, the interface 1200 includes an account selection portion 1202, a transaction listing 1204, and an account access toggle switch 1206. The account selection portion 1202 includes all of the accounts that the customer 102 has enabled the merchant to access. The account selection portion 1202 includes graphical depictions of the various accounts that the customer has provided access to. The customer 102 may swipe the account selection portion 1202 to select a particular account. Upon the customer selecting an account, the customer mobile device 200 may query the accounts database 124 to retrieve the customer's transactions with that particular account at the merchant, and use that data to populate the transaction listing 1204. Alternatively, the customer mobile device 200 and/or financial institution computing system 110 may initiate communications with an associated third party system 106 to obtain the customer 102's transaction data. As such, the transaction listing 1204 presents the customer 102 with the customer's transactions at the associated merchant occurring within a predetermined period.

The account access toggle switch 1206 is configured to receive a customer input to permit/revoke the depicted merchant's access to information associated with the selected account. In the example shown, the customer 102 is providing the third party system 106 associated with the merchant with access to the account information. In response to the customer 102 switching the account access toggle switch 1206 to an opposing position, the customer mobile device 200 may transmit a command to the financial institution computing system 110 causing the financial institution computing system 110 to update the customer 102's access permissions to prevent the merchant from having access to the associated account information. In some embodiments, the account access toggle switch 1206 is configured to receive a customer input to temporarily inactivate the selected account.

Referring now to FIG. 13, an entity permission control interface 1300 is shown, according to an example embodiment. The entity permission control interface 1300 (or another interface similar thereto) may be presented to the customer 102 (e.g., via the financial institution client application 208) upon the customer 102 selecting an entity in any of the listings 1010, 1014, 1102, and/or 1108 described with respect to FIGS. 10 and 11. In the example shown, the interface 1300 is presented to the customer 102 upon the customer 102 selecting an application (e.g., a financial health application, or a payment services application) in listing 1010 described with respect to FIG. 10. The interface 1300 includes a cash accounts listing 1302, a credit account listing 1308, and a payments toggle switch 1314. The cash accounts listing 1302 includes a general toggle switch 1304 and toggle switches 1306 associated with individual cash accounts of the customer 102. With the general toggle switch 1304, the customer 102 may permit or revoke the associated application's access to information (e.g., transaction history, balance information, etc.) associated with all of the customer's cash accounts. Using the toggle switches 1306, the customer may revoke the application's access to individual cash accounts. Similarly, the credit account listing 1308 includes a general toggle switch 1310 and individual toggle switches 1310 enabling the customer 102 to permit or revoke access to information regarding the customer 102's credit accounts.

The payments toggle switch 1314 is configured to receive a customer input to enable or disable payments via the application associated with the selected application. Thus, using the toggle switches 1304, 1306, 1310, and 1312; the customer may permit the application to access information associated with the depicted accounts. Using the payments toggle switch 1314, the customer generally enables payments to be made via the selected application. In other words, the payments toggle switch 1314 is configured to update a set of transaction rules maintained at the financial institution computing system 110 (e.g., via the account management circuit 120). As a result, if the customer disables payments via a particular application, any transaction requests received from the customer mobile device 200 via that application will be denied. As, such, the data control portal enables the customer 102 enables the customer to manage particular entity's access to information as well as the manner with which that information may be used.

Referring to FIG. 14, a flow diagram of a method 1400 of mitigating potential fraud associated with access to customer information is shown according to an example embodiment. The method 1400 is performed by the financial institution computing system 110 (e.g., by the access control circuit 122, by the processor 116, etc.).

The method 1400 begins when fraudulent activity is detected at 1402. In some arrangements, the financial institution computing system 110 determines there is fraudulent activity associated with the customer 102 based on analyzing customer information access patterns, transaction patterns, and the like. The fraudulent activity may relate to compromised financial information (e.g., a compromised payment token associated with fraudulent purchases, a compromised account number, a compromised payment device, etc.) or misappropriation of other customer information (e.g., fraudulent access to customer information stored at the financial institution computing system 110, fraudulent downloads of data or document stored at the financial institution computing system 110, or the like). In some arrangements, the fraudulent activity can be reported by the customer 102 (e.g., via a customer device 108) if the customer 102 becomes aware of potential fraudulent activity associated with the customer information managed by the financial institution computing system 110. Similarly, in some arrangements, the fraudulent activity can be reported by the third-party associated with the fraud. For example, if a merchant becomes aware that the merchant's e-commerce system has been hacked by fraudsters, and that the customer information stored on or able to be accessed by the e-commerce system is at risk, the merchant can transmit a message to the financial institution computing system 110 indicating the fraud. In still further arrangements, the financial institution computing system 110 can identify potentially fraudulent activity from other sources, such as news agencies that report on data breaches associated with the third-party systems 106.

In an example, the financial institution computing system 110 detects an unusual pattern of activity in association with a third party client application 206. For example, customer information may be requested via a third party client application 206 at a more frequent than usual rate. In another example, the financial institution computing system 110 (e.g., via the account management circuit 120) detects an unusual pattern of activity based on customer transaction data. For example, if the account management circuit 120 receives a transaction request from a particular customer device 108 to request payment to a particular merchant, the account management circuit 120 may compare the amount of the transaction to transactions previously engaged in by the customer 102 (e.g., stored in the accounts database 124) and, if the amount differs from previous transactions engaged in by the customer 102, or if customer 102 has never engaged in a transaction at the particular merchant, detect an unusual pattern of activity.

After fraudulent activity is detected at 1402, access privileges are removed at 1404. The financial institution computing system 110 removes access privileges to the customer information in at least one of a plurality different ways. In some arrangements the financial institution computing system 110 revokes access privileges to the customer information stored at the financial institution computing system 110 (e.g., customer information stored in the accounts database 124). In other arrangements or additionally, the financial institution computing system 110 can pull customer information from the third-party system 106 or at the customer device 108 associated with the detected fraudulent activity. For example, if a payment token is associated with the fraudulent activity, the financial institution computing system 110 can prevent a third-party mobile wallet from accessing the payment token via the customer information APIs 128 and/or pull a the payment token from the third-party mobile wallet computing system if the payment token was previously transmitted to the third-party mobile wallet computing system.

An alert is sent to the customer 102 at 1406. The financial institution computing system 110 transmits an alert to a customer device 108 associated with the customer 102. The alert may be any of a text message, an automated telephone call, an e-mail, an in-application push notification, or a combination thereof. The alert indicates that potential fraudulent activity was detected with respect to the customer information. In some arrangements, the alert identifies a specific third-party system 106 associated with the potential fraudulent activity. For example, the alert may indicate that a specific third-party system 106 is attempting to access a piece of customer information that is out of the norm of access patterns associated with the third-party system 106. In some arrangements, the alert is customer-interactive such that the customer 102 can reply to the alert (e.g., by interacting with a hyperlink, by interacting with embedded buttons, by replying, etc.) to indicate that the potential fraudulent activity was unauthorized or authorized.

Referring now to FIG. 15, an alert interface 1500 is shown, according to an example embodiment. The alert interface 1500 may be rendered to the customer 102 via a financial institution client application 208 on the customer mobile device 200. Additionally, alert interfaces similar to the alert interface 1500 may be displayed on various other customer devices 108 at the same time that the alert interface 1100 is presented via the customer mobile device 200. As such, the customer 102 is alerted of the detected fraudulent activity irrespective of the particular customer device 108 possessed by the customer 102 at the time the unusual activity is detected. In this regard, fraud alerts in other forms are envisioned. For example, the financial institution computing system 110 may formulate a sound notification and transmit the sound notification to a customer device 108 that includes a smart speaker.

In the example shown, the alert interface 1500 includes a description 1502 of actions taken by the financial institution computing system 110 (e.g., via the access control circuit 122) and the reason that such actions were taken. For example, the financial institution computing system 110 (e.g., via the access control circuit 122) may update the access privileges associated with a particular third party client application 206 on the customer mobile device 200, and the description 1502 may indicate as much to the customer 102. Additionally, the alert interface 1500 includes a customer action window 1504. The customer action window 1104 requests the customer 102 to verify recent transactions that caused delivery of the alert to the customer 102. Customer action window 1504 includes a first option 1506 enabling the customer 102 to view recent transactions (or information requests) and to indicate their legitimacy to the financial institution computing system 110. Customer action window 1504 also includes a deferral option 1508 enabling the customer 102 to put off the verification process to a later time.

Referring now to FIG. 16, a data control tower customer interface 1600 is shown according to an example embodiment, the customer interface 1600 is similar to the customer interface 500 discussed above. Like numbering is used between FIGS. 5 and 16 to designate like components. As with the customer interface 700, an application toggle 406 has been selected by the customer 102. In some embodiments, the customer interface 1600 is presented to the customer 102 after the customer 102 selects the deferral option 1508 presented to the customer 102 on the alert interface 1100 discussed above.

In various embodiments, the interface 1600 is presented to the customer 102 upon the customer 102 accessing the data control tower (e.g., via performance of the steps 302 and 304 discussed above) after unusual activity with respect to customer application activity has been detected. In the example shown, the interface 1600 includes an unusual activity indication 1602 notifying the customer 102 that unusually activity has been detected with respect to a particular application listed in the application listing 502. Additionally, the customer interface 1600 includes a verification button 1604 enabling the customer 102 to view the transactions that caused the display of the unusual activity information 1302.

Referring back to FIG. 14 and the method 1400, a customer response is received at 1408. In some arrangements, the financial institution computing system 110 receives a response from the customer 102 via the customer device 108. The customer response may be input by the customer 102 into the alert transmitted to a customer device 108 at 1406. The customer response provides an indication as to whether the potential fraudulent activity is authorized or unauthorized. In arrangements where the potential fraudulent activity is authorized by the customer 102, the customer response may include a reversal request. The financial institution computing system 110 determines if the customer response includes a reversal request at 1410. If a reversal request was received, the access privileges removed at 1404 are restored at 1412. If a reversal request was not received, or after the access privileges are restored at 1412, the method 1400 ends.

Referring generally to FIGS. 17-19, example data control tower interfaces are shown, according to various example embodiments. For example, the interfaces shown in FIGS. 17-19 may serve as alternatives to those shown in FIGS. 4-7 described herein. Referring to FIG. 17, a data control tower user interface 1700 is shown according to an example embodiment. The user interface 1700 is shown as a displayed on the mobile device 200 described with respect to FIG. 2. The user interface 1700 includes an account toggle 1704 and a channel toggle 1706. As shown by the bolded outline of the account toggle 1704, the account toggle 1704 is selected. Accordingly, the user interface 1700 is an account level management user interface. While in the account level management user interface, the customer 102 can select an account held with the financial institution 104 via the drop down box 1708. As shown in FIG. 17, the customer 102 has selected a checking account. After selecting a specific account, a listing 1710 of connected account access channels is populated. The listing 1710 identifies each channel that the customer 102 has previously configured to access the checking account. Each entry in the listing 1710 identifies a specific channel (e.g., a debit card, mobile wallet 1, mobile wallet 2, etc.), a channel access mechanism (e.g., a debit card number, a token identifier, an account number, etc.), and whether the channel access is currently active or inactive via a slider toggle 1712 (where “Y” means the channel is active, and “N” means the channel is inactive). A channel may be a customer device 108 (e.g., a wearable device, a payment card, etc.) or a third-party system 106 (e.g., a mobile wallet, a retailer bill pay system, a utility company system, etc.).

The customer 102 can interact with a given slider toggle 1712 to activate or deactivate a given channel's access to the selected account. For example, as shown in the user interface 300, the debit card is active (as shown by the associated slider toggle 1712 being in the “Y” position). Accordingly, when the customer 102 attempts to use the debit card to make a payment (e.g., a purchase with a merchant) or withdraw cash from an ATM, the debit card is linked to the checking account identified in the drop down box 1708, and the payment can go through or funds can be withdrawn (assuming the checking account has the appropriate balance). If the customer 102 interacts with the slider toggle 1712 to deactivate the debit card's access to the checking account (e.g., by sliding the toggle 1712 to the “N” position), the debit card is no longer linked to the checking account. If the sliding toggle 1712 is in the “N” position and the customer 102 attempts to use the debit card at a merchant point-of-sale system or an ATM, the transaction will be denied or not processed from the checking account.

The user interface 1700 also includes an add button 1714 and a delete button 1716. If the customer 102 interacts with the add button 1714, the customer 102 can add a new channel to the listing 1710 of approved channels that are linked to the identified account. In doing so, the customer 102 may need to register the customer device 108 (e.g., by providing a device identifier, by providing a primary account number of a payment card, by logging into an application or website via the customer device 108, etc.) or the third-party system 106 (e.g., by logging into a third-party website or application associated with the third-party system 106) with the financial institution 104 to pair the channel with the FI computing system 110. If the customer 102 interacts with the delete button 1716, the customer 102 can select a channel in the listing 1710 to revoke access of the selected channel to the account.

Referring to FIG. 18, a data control tower user interface 1800 is shown according to an example embodiment. The user interface 1800 is similar to the user interface 1700. As such, like numbering is used between FIGS. 17 and 18 to designate like components of the user interfaces 1700 and 1800. The user interface 1700 is shown as a displayed on the mobile device 200. As with the user interface 1700, the user interface 1800 includes the account toggle 1704 and the channel toggle 1706. As shown by the bolded outline of the channel toggle 1706, the channel toggle 1706 is selected. Accordingly, the user interface 1800 is a channel level management user interface. While in the channel level management user interface, the customer 102 can select a channel that is paired with the financial institution 104 via the drop down box 1802. A channel may be a customer device 108 (e.g., a wearable device, a payment card, etc.) or a third-party system 106 (e.g., a mobile wallet, a retailer bill pay system, a utility company system, a cloud storage system, etc.). As shown in FIG. 18, the customer 102 has selected a mobile wallet as the channel to manage. After selecting a specific channel, a listing 1804 of accounts associated with the channel is populated. The listing 1804 identifies each account that that the customer 102 has previously configured to be accessed by the selected channel. Each entry in the listing 1804 identifies a specific account (e.g., a debit card, a credit card, etc.), an account access mechanism (e.g., a payment token), and whether the account is currently active or inactive via a slider toggle 1806 (where “Y” means the account is active, and “N” means the account is inactive).

The customer 102 can interact with a given slider toggle 1806 to activate or deactivate the selected channel's access to an account associated with the slider toggle 1806. For example, as shown in the user interface 1800, the token associated with credit card is active (as shown by the associated slider toggle 1806 being in the “Y” position). Accordingly, when the customer 102 attempts to make a payment with the mobile wallet (e.g., a purchase with a merchant) credit card 1 is listed as an option for the payment source of the transaction. If the customer 102 interacts with the slider toggle 1806 to deactivate the channel's access to the token associated with credit card 1 (e.g., by sliding the toggle 1806 to the “N” position), the credit card is no longer listed as a payment source in the mobile wallet (or is listed as an unavailable payment source). For, example in response to the customer 102 deactivates the channel's access, the financial institution computing system 110 may transmit a command to a third party system 106 associated with a token service provider instructing the third party system 106 to delete or temporarily deactivate the token.

Each entry in the listing 1804 also includes a default payment indicator 1808 and a delete payment button 1810. The default payment indicator 1808 is highlighted to indicate the default payment source of the mobile wallet. As shown in FIG. 18, the selected default payment method for the mobile wallet is the debit card. If the customer 102 interacts with the default payment indicator 1808 of a different entry (e.g., credit card 1 or credit card 2), the customer 102 can change the default payment source for the mobile wallet even though the customer is not interacting directly with the mobile wallet. If the customer 102 interacts with the delete payment button 1810 for a given entry, the customer 102 can remove the associated payment source from the mobile wallet. Thus, the user interface 1800 enables the customer 102 to deactivate and activate tokens, select a default payment vehicle for a mobile wallet, and remove a payment vehicle from a mobile wallet on the same user interface. To populate the user interface 1800, the financial institution computing system 110 may utilize one of the customer information APIs 128 associated with a mobile wallet provider of the mobile wallet selected via the drop down box 1802. In other words, in response to receiving an indication of the customer 102's selection of the mobile wallet via the drop down box 1802, the financial institution computing system 110 may formulate an API information request including an identifier associated with the third party system 106. The API information request may request information regarding the customer 102's mobile wallet account (e.g., token activation statuses, default payment vehicles, etc.). Upon receipt of the API information request, the third party system 106 may verify the financial institution computing system 110 and, in response, provide the requested information.

Still referring to FIG. 18, the user interface 1800 also includes an add new payment source button 1812. If the customer 102 interacts with the add new payment source button 1812, the customer 102 can provision a payment token associated with a new payment source to the mobile wallet. The customer 102 can manually input the payment card information (e.g., primary account number, expiration date, billing address, card security code, card verification value, etc.) or select a payment card that the customer 102 has that is associated with (i.e., issued by) the financial institution 104. When the payment card information is provided by the customer 102, the FI computing system 110 can automatically request a payment card token (e.g., from a payment network associated with the payment card) and transmit the payment card token to the mobile wallet system (e.g., via a customer information API 128) such that the payment card is provisioned to the mobile wallet.

Referring to FIG. 19, a data control tower user interface 1900 is shown, according to an example embodiment. The user interface 1900 is similar to the user interfaces 1700 and 1800. As such, like numbering is used between FIGS. 17 through 19 to designate like components of the user interfaces 1700, 1800, and 1900. The user interface 1900 is shown as a displayed on the mobile device 200. As with the user interfaces 1700 and 1800, the user interface 1900 includes the account toggle 1704 and the channel toggle 1706. As shown by the bolded outline of the channel toggle 1706, the channel toggle 1706 is selected. Accordingly, the user interface 1900 is a channel level management user interface. While in the channel level management user interface, the customer 102 can select a channel that is paired with the financial institution 104 via the drop down box 1802. As shown in FIG. 19, the customer 102 has selected a debit card as the channel to manage. The debit card channel of FIG. 19 has different manageable features than the mobile wallet of FIG. 18. Accordingly, the specific channel level management user interfaces presented to the customer 102 while accessing the access control tower portal may differ depending on the channel selected by the user.

The debit card specific user interface 1900 includes a linked account drop down box 1902. The linked account drop down box 1902 allows the customer 102 to change the account associated with the selected debit card. As shown in FIG. 19, the debit card is currently linked to a checking account ending in “5678”. If the customer 102 has additional demand deposit accounts with the financial institution 104, the customer 102 selects a different account to associate the debit card with via the drop down box 1902.

Additionally, the user interface 1900 includes a plurality of different purchase controls 1904. Each of the purchase controls 1904 includes a toggle slider 1906 that allows the customer 102 to activate or deactivate a particular control associated with the debit card (where “Y” means the feature is active, and “N” means the feature is inactive). The purchase controls 1904 may include a point of sale control that either permits or blocks the debit card from being used at a merchant point of sale system, an ATM control that either permits or blocks the debit card from being used at an ATM, a mobile wallet control that either permits or blocks the debit card from being used in a mobile wallet, a merchant e-commerce control that either permits or blocks the debit card from being stored at a merchant e-commerce site as a stored payment method, a travel fraud detection control that turns on or off a fraud detection feature, and the like. The customer 102 can interact with a given toggle slider 1906 to activate or deactivate the associated purchase control 1904. The available purchase controls may vary by channel.

Referring now to FIG. 20, an account control customer interface 2000 is shown, according to an example embodiment. In various embodiments, the customer is presented with the account user interface 2000 (e.g., via the financial institution client application 208) upon the customer selecting an account on the data control tower interface 1000 described with respect to FIG. 10. As shown, the account control customer interface 2000 includes a listing of various controls associated with an account. As shown, a first toggle switch control 2002 is configured to receive an input from the customer to turn off the account as a whole. As a result of receiving this input, the customer mobile device 200 transmits a notification signal to the financial institution computing system 110, which in turn temporarily deactivates the customer's account from use in any sort of transaction. This is particularly useful if the customer temporarily misplaces a card. Another set of toggle switches 2004 provides the customer with a more particularized control For example, via the set of toggle switches 2004, the customer is able to turn the selected accounts on and off for international and United States payments. As shown, the selected account has been turned off for international transactions only. As such, upon receipt of a transaction request from an international payment network, the financial institution computing system 110 would automatically deny the transaction request. This way, fraudulent international transaction activity can be prevented. Additionally, the customer needn't contact the financial institution to turn the account on prior to travelling internationally.

Another toggle switch 2006 enables the customer to turn the selected account on and off for use in a particular mobile wallet. Thus, the account control interface 2000 may include a number of toggle switches similar to the toggle switch 2006 depending on the mobile wallets that the customer has registered for. In response to the customer switching a card off for a particular mobile wallet, the financial institution computing system 110 may contact a token service provider associated with the mobile wallet (or contact the mobile wallet provider directly) to, for example, deactivate an account token to disable access. In various embodiments, the account control customer interface 2000 includes many additional transaction controls. For example, the user may manually restrict amounts, locations, times, and the like that the card may be turned off or turned on for use in transactions. As such, not only does the financial institution client application 208 provide the customer with control over external entities that have access to customer account information, but it also provides the customer with an extensive amount of personal controls over each individual account.
