Abstract

A method for modification of loan terms based on transaction account activity includes: storing an account profile, the profile including loan terms associated with a loan, a primary account number, and transaction values related to payment transactions funded by a related transaction account; receiving a transaction message for a payment transaction including the primary account number and additional transaction data; verifying exceeding of a usage threshold based on a combination of the transaction values stored in the account profile and the additional transaction data; and modifying the loan terms based on a result of the verification.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for modification of loan terms based on transaction account activity, comprising:
storing, in an account database of a processing server, an account profile, wherein the account profile is a structured data set related to a transaction account including at least one or more loan terms associated with a loan, a primary account number, and transaction values, the transaction values being related to a plurality of payment transactions funded by the related transaction account; receiving, by a receiving device of the processing server, a transaction message for a payment transaction, wherein the transaction message is formatted based on one or more standards and includes a plurality of data elements including at least a first data element configured to store the primary account number and one or more additional data elements configured to store additional transaction data; verifying, by a verification module of the processing server, exceeding of a usage threshold by the related transaction account based on at least a combination of the transaction values stored in the account profile and the additional transaction data; and executing, by a querying module of the processing server, a query on the account database to modify at least one of the one or more loan terms based on a result of the verification.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
electronically transmitting, by a transmitting device of the processing server, a data signal to a financial institution associated with the loan.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the data signal includes at least the result of the verification and the usage threshold.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the data signal includes at least the modified at least one of the one or more loan terms.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the one or more loan terms modified is based on the exceeded usage threshold.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
storing, in a memory of the processing server, a plurality of usage thresholds, wherein the exceeded usage threshold is one of the plurality of usage thresholds.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
executing, by the querying module of the processing server, a query on the account database to identify the account profile based on a correspondence between the included primary account number and the primary account number stored in the first data element included in the received transaction message.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein
the account profile further includes one or more transaction controls, and the method further comprises: verifying, by the verification module of the processing server, compliance of the payment transaction with the one or more transaction controls included in the account profile based on a correspondence between the one or more transaction controls and the additional transaction data and/or the transaction values included in the account profile.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the transaction values includes a plurality of transaction messages, each transaction message being related to a prior payment transaction involving the related transaction account and including a plurality of data elements configured to store transaction data for the related prior payment transaction.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more loan terms includes at least one of: principal balance, interest rate, interest balance, number of payments, loan term, and fee amount.

11 . A system for modification of loan terms based on transaction account activity, comprising:
an account database of a processing server configured to store an account profile, wherein the account profile is a structured data set related to a transaction account including at least one or more loan terms associated with a loan, a primary account number, and transaction values, the transaction values being related to a plurality of payment transactions funded by the related transaction account; a receiving device of the processing server configured to receive a transaction message for a payment transaction, wherein the transaction message is formatted based on one or more standards and includes a plurality of data elements including at least a first data element configured to store the primary account number and one or more additional data elements configured to store additional transaction data; a verification module of the processing server configured to verify exceeding of a usage threshold by the related transaction account based on at least a combination of the transaction values stored in the account profile and the additional transaction data; and a querying module of the processing server configured to execute a query on the account database to modify at least one of the one or more loan terms based on a result of the verification.

12 . The system of claim 11 , further comprising:
a transmitting device of the processing server configured to electronically transmit a data signal to a financial institution associated with the loan.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the data signal includes at least the result of the verification and the usage threshold.

14 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the data signal includes at least the modified at least one of the one or more loan terms.

15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one of the one or more loan terms modified is based on the exceeded usage threshold.

16 . The system of claim 11 , further comprising:
a memory of the processing server configured to store a plurality of usage thresholds, wherein the exceeded usage threshold is one of the plurality of usage thresholds.

17 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the querying module of the processing server is further configured to execute a query on the account database to identify the account profile based on a correspondence between the included primary account number and the primary account number stored in the first data element included in the received transaction message.

18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein
the account profile further includes one or more transaction controls, and the verification module of the processing server is further configured to verify compliance of the payment transaction with the one or more transaction controls included in the account profile based on a correspondence between the one or more transaction controls and the additional transaction data and/or the transaction values included in the account profile.

19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the transaction values includes a plurality of transaction messages, each transaction message being related to a prior payment transaction involving the related transaction account and including a plurality of data elements configured to store transaction data for the related prior payment transaction.

20 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more loan terms includes at least one of: principal balance, interest rate, interest balance, number of payments, loan term, and fee amount.
