Abstract

Techniques are described for migrating information (e.g., funds) from a first account to a second account. Account information for the first account may be analyzed to identify periodic, regular, and/or semi-regular transactions of a first type (e.g., charge(s)) made from the first account. The account information may also be analyzed to identify periodic, regular, and/or semi-regular transactions of a second type (e.g., payment(s)) made into the first account. The transactions(s) of the first type may be migrated to be paid out of the second account, and the transactions(s) of the second type may be migrated to be paid into the second account. After migration of transaction(s) is completed, the remaining funds may be transferred from the first account into the second account. In some instances during the migration process, funds may be transferred from the first account to the second account to cover charges made against the second account.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method performed by at least one processor, the method comprising:
receiving, by the at least one processor, a request to perform a charge migration from a first account associated with a previous account transaction card to a second account associated with an account transaction card;
receiving, by the at least one processor, a first indication of a purchase being made using the account transaction card associated with the second account after the request is received, wherein the account transaction card is designated as a replacement for the previous account transaction card associated with the first account;
receiving, by the at least one processor, a second indication of a charge paid using the account transaction card;
automatically transferring, by the at least one processor, funds in an amount of the charge from the first account to the second account in response to receiving the first indication, the second indication, or a combination thereof;
identifying, by the at least one processor, at least one recurring charge made against the first account and at least one recurring deposit made to the first account in response to receiving the first indication, the second indication, or a combination thereof, wherein identifying the at least one recurring charge comprises:
classifying two or more charges of a plurality of charges made against the first account as corresponding to the at least one recurring charge based on the two or more charges sharing a payer, a payee, a transaction date, a transaction amount, and a time period between the two or more charges;
excluding at least one of the plurality of charges from the at least one recurring charge in response to receiving a user input indicating that the at least one of the plurality of charges corresponds to a false identification of the at least one recurring charge;
determining a subset of charges of the plurality of charges previously made against the first account based on the at least one of the plurality of charges excluded from the at least one recurring charge;
determining, for each of the subset of charges, a score that is based on:
a timing of each of the subset of charges;
a biller associated with each of the subset of charges; and
an amount of each of the subset of charges; and

identifying each of the subset of charges as the at least one recurring charge based at least partly on the score exceeding a threshold score;

scheduling, by the at least one processor, payment of the at least one recurring charge to be paid from the second account while the at least one recurring deposit is made to the first account;
displaying, by the at least one processor, a status of the charge migration on a graphical user interface (GUI) based on a schedule of the at least one recurring charge and the at least one recurring deposit, wherein the status indicates a percentage progress of the charge migration, a switch timeline that indicates of one or more time periods when one or more portions of the charge migration occurs, a first current balance of the first account, a second current balance of the second account, a first set of pending charges against the first account, a second set of pending charges against the second account, a first set of pending deposits to the first account, and a second set of pending deposits to the second account, wherein the GUI is configured to receive an input at a selectable point on the switch timeline, wherein the input is configured to cause the GUI to display a date and a corresponding summary of one or more charges on the date to be paid against the first account, the second account, or a combination thereof;
initiating, by the at least one processor, a first transfer of an amount of funds from the first account to the second account based on the schedule, wherein the amount of funds corresponds to the at least one recurring charge;
detecting, by the at least one processor, that the at least one recurring deposit is made to the second account; and
requesting, by the at least one processor, a second transfer of remaining funds from the first account to the second account in response to detecting that the at least one recurring deposit is made to the second account.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one recurring charge is migrated to the second account prior to the at least one recurring deposit being migrated to the second account.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting that the at least one recurring deposit is made into the second account instead of the first account indicates that the charge migration has completed.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein future instances of the at least one recurring charge is made against the second account after the charge migration has completed.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the at least one recurring charge further comprises:
filtering the subset of charges to remove in-person charges prior to determining the score.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the charge migration includes:
sending a notification to an interface of a payee recommending to close the first account, wherein a future instance of the at least one recurring charge is made against the second account instead of the first account after the first account is closed.

7. A system comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving a request to perform a charge migration from a first account associated with a previous account transaction card to a second account associated with an account transaction card;
receiving a first indication of a purchase being made using the account transaction card associated with the second account after the request is received, wherein the account transaction card is designated as a replacement for the previous account transaction card associated with the first account;
receiving a second indication of a charge paid using the account transaction card;
automatically transferring funds in an amount of the charge from the first account to the second account in response to receiving the first indication, the second indication, or a combination thereof;
identifying at least one recurring charge made against the first account and at least one recurring deposit made to the first account in response to receiving the first indication, the second indication, or a combination thereof, wherein identifying the at least one recurring charge comprises:
classifying two or more charges of a plurality of charges made against the first account as corresponding to the at least one recurring charge based on the two or more charges sharing a payer, a payee, a transaction date, a transaction amount, and a time period between the two or more charges;
excluding at least one of the plurality of charges from the at least one recurring charge in response to receiving a user input indicating that the at least one of the plurality of charges corresponds to a false identification of the at least one recurring charge;
determining a subset of charges of the plurality of charges previously made against the first account based on the at least one of the plurality of charges excluded from the at least one recurring charge;
determining, for each of the subset of charges, a score that is based on:
a biller associated with the subset of charges;
an amount of the subset of charges; and

identifying each of the subset of charges as the at least one recurring charge based at least partly on the score exceeding a threshold score;

scheduling payment of the at least one recu
