System and method for generating and displaying ratings for points of interest

Abstract:

Described are systems and methods for generating and displaying ratings for points of interest in a region. A method for generating ratings includes receiving transaction data from a plurality of points of interest, the transaction data representing financial transactions between a plurality of individuals and each point of interest of the plurality of points of interest. A method also includes automatically generating, for each point of interest of the plurality of points of interest, at least one point of interest rating based at least partially on the transaction data for the point of interest. A method further includes, in response to a selection of a chosen point of interest of the plurality of points of interest, providing to at least one user the at least one point of interest rating associated with the chosen point of interest.
