METHOD AND SYSTEM TO DETERMINE BUSINESS SEGMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH MERCHANTS

Abstract:

The business segment associated with a merchant is automatically and accurately determined by applying machine learning techniques to actual financial documents associated with a merchant. In some examples, once the business segment associated with a merchant user of a data management system is identified, this information is used to identify potentially fraudulent and/or other criminal activity such as fraudulent merchants, criminal financial transactions, and fraudulent invoices.
