Abstract:

A system and method for auto-populating an electronic transaction process is provided. The system comprises at least one processor, and a memory storing instructions which when executed by the at least one processor configure the processor to obtain a scanned payee identifier from an optical character recognition scan of a digital bill document, compare the scanned payee identifier with a set of stored payee identifiers to obtain at least one first identifier match, determine a score for each of the at least one identifier match, and select the stored payee identifier associated with a highest score. The method comprises obtaining a scanned payee identifier from an optical character recognition scan of a digital bill document, comparing the scanned payee identifier with a set of stored payee identifiers to obtain at least one first identifier match, determining a score for each of the at least one identifier match, and selecting the stored payee identifier associated with a highest score.
