SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING ENTITIES FOR SERVICES BASED ON NETWORK ACTIVITY

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for use in identifying recurring local entities for a target region. One exemplary method includes receiving a request for identifying recurring local entities for a target region and accessing data for the target region for multiple accounts. The data is representative of multiple transactions and multiple accounts, with each transaction having an account number associated with a user and a region identifier associated with an entity involved in the transaction. The method also includes determining a local region for each of the accounts included in the data and, for each determined local region that is the same as the target region, identifying one or more recurring entity from the transactions to said accounts having the determined local region. The method then includes compiling a listing of recurring local entities including the identified one or more recurring entities.
