Abstract

Abstract of the Disclosure TRANSACTION SYSTEM WITH OFF-LINE RISK ASSESSMENT
The subject invention relates to a transaction system wherein the issuer of transaction cards can regulate the type of authorization requests transmitted from the point of transaction. The system includes a plurality of transaction cards, each of which are provided with risk assessment data associated with each cardholder. The system further includes a plurality of terminals, each terminal having the ability to read the information placed on the transaction cards. In operation, the risk assessment data is compared to the transaction amount by the terminal. If the transaction is approved, the terminal will issue an automatic, off-line authorization. If the transaction does not fall within the approval range, the terminal will function to transmit the transaction information to the issuer for evaluation. The issuer can then determine whether to authorize the transaction based on its own data base.

Description

Description TRANSACTION S~STEM WITH OFF-LI~E RISK ASSESSME~T
~ = _ _ . .. _ . .. _ .. . _ . . .. , .. _ , . _ .
Technical Field The subject invention relates to a transaction system wherein the issuer of a transaction card can regulate the costs of transmission of authorizaton requests. Specifically, the system permits an issuer to specify, for each cardholder, the type of transactions that may be authorized at a remote location. By this arrangement, the number of authorization requests which must be transmitted to a remote approval site is reduced, thereby r~ducing communications costs.

Back4round of the Invention ., _ In recent years, the use of transaction cards has substantially increased. In many cases, transaction cards are used as a substitute for cash when purchasing goods or services. These transaction cards may be in the form of credit cards where a record of the transaction is kept and later billed to the card holder. In some more recent systems~ the card holder will fund an account which is debited for the amount of the transaction directly. These latter type of accounts are known as "debit cards". The banking industry has also begun utilizing transaction cards enablin~ common banking functions to be performed without a teller, using an automatic terminal.
As the use of these transaction cards has increasedt so have losses related to fraud. Cards which have been lost or stolen are frequently used to - purchase goods or services without the approval of the rightful owner. In addition, many counterfeit cards have been produced for unauthorized purchases. The industry has responded with a number of approaches ~¢

;6 ~ -2-designed to reduce the losses associated with such fraudulent transactions.
One of the initial approaches in the transaction card industry was to periodically print and distribute lists of lost or stolen cards. ~hen a card is presented ~or a transaction, the card number is checked against this list prior to approval of the transaction.
Unfortunately, this approach is time-consuming and prone to error. More importantly, because the information is distributed periodically, this system will not detect the fraudulent use of a card, prior to the time it has been reported lost, stolen or counterfeited and thereafter listed in the~bulletin.
Recently, there have been developed various automatic "on-line" verification systems. In these systems, information about the cardholder and the transaction is transmitted via a communciation link to a central control center for approval or further routing. In some cases~ the central control center will be supplied with information about the cardholder and can make an ap~roval decision. In some s.naller transaction syste~s, the central station will be equivalent to the issuer of the card. In larger systems, where there are many card issuers, the ~5 transaction information may have to be routed from the central station to one of the outl~in~ issuers ~or final approval.
~ hen the first automatic systems were developed, the transaction information was typically entered into 3n the approval network by the merchant, by telephoning a local receiver who would enter the data in a terminal.
More recently, numerous electronic terminals have been designed that automate the process. These terminals, which are placed at the merchant locations, are designed to receive the transaction information directly.

~ 3 The terminals are provided with a means for reading the transaction card. For example, many transaetion eards are provided with a magnetie stripe that is encoded with in~ormation, sueh as the aceount number of the eardholder and the institution whieh issued the eard. These terminals will have a magnetie transducer for reading this inEormation. The terminal will transmit the data on the magnetic stripe, along with other particulars of the transaction, sueh as the transaetion amount, into the authorization system. The approval steps will then be taken, as outlined above.
As ean be appreeiated, where the issuer of the transaetion card is remote from the point Q~f transactlon, siqnificant communication costs can be ineurred for each approvalO In addition, the approvals are time-consuming and slow down the sales ~rocess.
While the eleetronie approval proeess is suitable from the standpoint of redueing fraud, it would be desirable to balanee the ris~ of .raud with the eost of approving every transaetion.
One approach for redueing the eosts of eommunieation in an approval network is diselosed in ~.~. Patent 4,4~5,300, issued November 27, 19~4 to Peiree. The invention therein is direeted toward a large transaetion eard systeln with multiple issuers of eards and a central data communication center. ~rior to the invention disclosed therein, each transaction was routed hy the eontrol eenter to the respective issuers for approval. ~n order to reduee the need for the latter step, an approaeh was provided wherein various parameters were supplied to the eontrol eenter.
These parameters would define the type of transaction whieh could be approved directly by the control center, rather than transmitting the authorization request to the issuer.

i66 ~ -4- ~-These parameters are based on the general type of cardholder accounts of the issuer. For example, if the issuing institution has a small group of highly credit worthy customers, it can afford to set the transaction parameters relatively high. ~In this case, only higher dollar amount transactions need be referred back to the issuer for approval. In contrast, where an issuer has a large number of customers that represent high risk, the parameters would be set relatively low, to minimize the potential for credit and fraud losses. In the latter case, communications costs would be higher, however, these would presumably be offset by a reduction in losses. As can be seen, the ~ssuer is able to make the decision based on its own needs.
The above described system has proved very successful in enablin~ an issuer to balance its communication costs with its credit and fraud losses.
However, the latter approach still requires communciation of the transaction parameters, from the merchant, to the central control station where the decision-ma]~ing process is carried out. In addi~ion, the ~arameters supplied to the data control center are based on a general evaluation of the cardholders of the issuer. Stated differently, these parameters are not keyed to the credit worthiness of each individual cardholder, but only represent an overall evaluation.
Based on the above, it would be desirable to provide a system where various transactions can be approved at the site of the transaction without incurring any communication costs. The decision should be under the control of the issuer and preferably based upon the credit worthiness of each individual cardholder.
Accordingly, it is an object of the subject ,, invention to provide a new and improved system wherein ~ -5-the issuer can re~ulate the type of a~thorization requests, transmitted from the Point of transaction.
It is another object of the subject invention to provide a new and improved system wherein an approval S of a transaction can be generated off-line, at a remote terminal, based on criteria supplied by the issuer of the transaction card.
It is a further object of the subject invention to provide a new and improved system ~herein issuers of cards can encode information on a transaction card to permit the evaluation of each transaction at a remote terminal.
It is another object of the subject i~vention to provide an approval system where communic~tion costs are substantially reduced.

Summarv of the Invention In accordance witn these and many other objects, the subject invention provides for a transaction system where the issuer of a transaction card can regulate the type of authorization requests which are transmitted from the point o~ transaction. In this system, a file means is ~enerated containing cardholder information.
This file is maintained at a point remote from the point of transaction, such as at the issuer location.
A subset of this information can also be located at a data control center, in the manner described in the above-cited U.S. Patent 4,485,300.
I~ accordance with the subject invention, each transaction card is provided with Aata identi~ying the cardholder as well as data representative of risk assessment information associated with that specific cardholder. The risk assessment information is intended to provide an evaluation of the potential credit worthiness or in more qeneral terms, the ~r~ potential liability associated with that cardholder.

~2~

6- ~
For e~ample, if the cardholder has a history of losing his cards, a greater risk would be associated with that account. Similarl~, a history of exceeding credit limits would be considered in computing the risk assessmen~ information. In contrast, if the cardholder has a high credit limit and no history of past difficulties, the risk assessment information would be designed to reflect that status.
This risk assessment information can be encoded onto the magnetic stripe of the transaction card. The information can be cryptographically encoded so that it cannot be read by unauthorized users. As can be appreciated, transaction cards are beiny d~veloped which do not utilize a magnetic stripe to store cardholder information. For example, various "smart cards" have been developed where the information is held in a computer memory in a card. The subject invention is intended to cover these types of transaction cards and any others where the risk '~ assessment information, which is supplied by the issuer, is placed on the card in a manner to be readable by the transaction terminal.
The subject invention further includes a terminal which is located at the point of transaction and, as ; stated above, includes a means for reading the data carried on the transaction card. The terminal includes a processor means for evaluating the transaction based on the risk assessment information carried on the card.
If the particular transaction falls within the 3~ parameters set by the issuer, the terminal itself can issue an a~proval. If, however, the transaction falls without the bounds set by the issuer, the authorization request will then be sent on to the communication ~etwork for approval at a site remote Erom the transaction. As discussed above, this approval may 6~

-7- 26~69-20 take place at a control center or at the issuer of the trans-action card.
In the preferred embodiment of the subject invention, each transaction terminal will be provided with a transaction dollar limit. In this embodiment, the risk assessment information carried on the card will take the form of a multiplier to be used in evaluating the transac-tion. Specifically, the multiplier on the card will be used to modify the dollar limit in the terminal, to arrive at an amount, above which the transaction would be trans-mitted for approval.
In summary, the present invention provides a systemwherein an issuer of transaction cards can influence the type of transaction that can be approved at the point of transaction, said system comprising: primary processor means including a file means containing cardholder information, supplied by the issuer, for evaluating a transaction; a transaction card carrying data iden-tifying the cardholder, said card further including nonmonetary data supplied by the issuer and representative of risk assessment information associated with the cardholder; and remote terminal means located at the point of transaction and connected to said primary processor means, said terminal means having monetary data stored therein, said terminal means having a means for read-ing the data carried on said card and a means for entering the amount of the transaction, said terminal means further includ-ing a remote processor means for deriving a transaction dollar limit based on the risk assessment information carried on said ~25Z5~6 -7a- 26~69-20 card and the monetary data stored in the terminal means, with said remote processor means cornparing the transaction amount and the derived transaction dollar limit to determine if -the transaction can be approved locally at the terminal or should be forwarded to the primary processor for further evaluation.
Further objects and advantages of the subject invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the drawings in which:
Brief Description of the Drawings Figure 1 is a block diagram illustrating the new and improved transaction system of the subject invention.
Figure 2 is a block diagram illustrating the arrange-ment typically encountered in a large transaction card system.
Detailed Descrlption of the Preferred Embodiments Turning now to Figure 1, there is illustrated, in block form, the basic elements of the transaction system 10 of the subject invention. In this system, an organization, denoted as the "issuer" 20, distributes transaction cards 30 to a number of customers. The issuer 20 may be a bank or other financial insti-tution. Often, the issuer will collect information from the card-holder to make an evaluation and assign a credit limit to the cardholder. This credit limit, along with associated cardholder identification information is ~ -8- ~
stored in a rnetnory 22 located at the issuer. This information can be used to determine whether a particular transaction should be approved.
There are a number of different types of transaction cards now in use, but by far the most prevalent in the United States is a plastic card having raised emhossments thereon. In addition, the card is provided with a magnetic stripe which can be encoded with various account information. The parameters for these cards have been standardized. For exam~le, the dimensions of the card are specified in ISO Document ISO/TC97/SC17/WG4-N95. The format for an encoded magnetic stripe is also standardized and c~n be found in ISO Standards 3554 and 4909.
The ty~e of card and the method of assigning data thereto is not critical to the suhject invention. For example, it is possible to utilize the newer type of smart cards wherein information related to the cardholder is stored in an internal memory, rather than on an magnetic stripe. In the suhject invention, it is only necessary that transaction cards be capable of carrying data representative of the risk assessment associated with the cardholder.
In the basic embodiment of the subject invention, the issuer is connected via communication lines 24 to a plurality of transaction terminals 40. The terminals 40 are located at the point of the transaction. These transaction terminals are typically located at merchant locations where sales or services are being sought.
However, they may also be available in banks or airports, where cash or traveller's checks are being dispensed.
The transaction terminal 40 of the subject invention has many elements si~ilar to the automatic transaction terninals presently available. I`~ore specifically, the present ooint-of-transaction ii2~

_g ~-terminals have a means for reading the information encoded on the cards. Typically, the means includes a transducer for reading the information encoded on ~he .-nagnetic stripe. Alternatively, the terminal could have contacts for interfacing with the mechanical contacts oE a smart card. The terminal will also have a p~ocessor ~or controlling operation such as basic formating steps, dialing and transmission of the information to the issuer. Typically, the terminal will also have a key pad input for receiving additional information relating to the transaction, such as the transaction amount.
In accordance with the subject invention, the processor in the terminal will be programmed to provide a comparison function for evaluating the transaction based upon risk assessment information placed on the card. A preferred embodiment of this comparison function will be discussed below. A terminal having suitable electronics to perform all of the functions disclosed herein is manu~actured by INTERMATIONAL
VERIFACT, INC., Terminus llodel. The latter terminal, ~` which operates with an Intel 80C31 microprocessor, is designed to perform many transaction functions. This terminal could be readily modified to perform the functions disclosed herein by adding software instructions. The terminal may also be adjusted to read information encoded on a different track of the magnetic stripe where the risk assessment information can be placed. Additional hardware can be supplied to ~ermit the detection of various secure card properties such as Watermark Magnetics, if other security features are desired.
In operation of the prior art system outlined above, a cardholder would present his card 3~ to a merchAnt. The merchant ~ould run the card through the terminal enabling the terminal to read the information 6~

r -10-on the card. The merchant would then enter the transaction amount and this information would then be transmitted along communications line 24 to the issuer.
The issuer would com~are the information sent by the terminal with the cardholder~information stored in memory 22. If the evaluation was favorable, an approval code would be sent back to the merchant, who would complete the transaction. If the evaluation was unfavorable, the transaction would be declined. As can be appreciated, this approach was time-consuming and required significant communication costs.
In the prior art, some of the communication costs were reduced by providing a nlinimum or flo~r limit in the terminals. More specifically, the terminal could be programmed in a simple manner to automatically approve any transaction which fell below a certain dollar limit. This approach was geared to an evaluation of the merchant. Soecifically, if the merchant was reputable, the type of transactions which would be automatically aporoved could be set at a relatively hi~h level.
Unfortunately, this approach would not allow for any control based on an evaluation of the cardholder.
Furthermore, and as discussed below, in larger systems, the dollar amount is controlled by a "merchant member,"
rather than the issuer. Accordingly, it would be desirable to allo~ the issuer of the card to control the costs of communication and to control its risk of loss.
To satisfy these objectivess, each transaction card is ~rovided with data representative of ris~
assessment information 32. This risk assessment data may be encoded on a magnetic stripe on the card. As noted above, this information can also he stored in a `-i card mernory or provided in any other suitable Eashion.

The risk assessment data 32 is designed to define the potential liability of the cardholder. Thus, a customer having a good credit rating would be afforded a fairly high assessment value. In contrast, a card holder having a poor credit history would be supplied with a lower assessment value. Each issuer could make its decision based on the histories o~ its own individual cardholders.
In accordance with the subject invention, the processor in the terminal would have the capability of reading the risk assessment information on the card and comparing this information to the transaction amount.
This information is compared to determine ~f an approval can be granted ~ithout communicating with the issuer. If the evaluation is favorable, the terminal will generate an approval "off-line." If the evaluation falls beyond the li~its recorded on the card, an authorization request would be sent along communications lines ~4 to the issuer 20.
In the preferred embodiment, the terminal is provic~ed with a transaction dollar limit 42. This value will ~e stored in the memory of the processor of the terminal. The amount of tne transaction dollar limit will be, in part, a function of the potential liabi]ity of the merchant or the particular location where the terminal is ~laced. In this case, the risk assessment data on the card will be defined by a multiplier which is used to increase (or reduce) the transaction dollar limit stored in the terminal.
For example, the issuer may assign a risk assessment value of "2" to the cardholder. The terminal ~0, after reading the card, will multiply this value times the transaction dollar limit stored in the terminal. Thus, if the transaction dollar limit is 50 dollars, the result of the multiplication ~Jould be 100 dollars. If the amount of the transaction in progress .~2~2~6~

~ 12- ~
was less than 100 dollars, an automatic approval would be generated~ If the transaction amount exceeded 100 dollars, the authorization request would be routed to the issuer. The value of the ~ultiplier can be selected to be less than one, thereby reducing the value stored in the terminal. The value of the multiplier could also be set to zero so that all transactions, ~or that cardholder, are sent to the issuer for authorization.
As can be appreciated, the subject s~stem allows the issuer to have control over which requests are transmitted. In a system where the issuer is char~ed for such communication requests, costs can~be balanced against the possibility of credit and fraud losses.
To further enhance security, it is desirable to assiqn a secret code or personal identification number (PIM) to each card. During a transaction, the cardholder would be reauired to enter his PIN, in order to secure an approval to the transaction. Such secret ~0 code systems are well-kno~n in the prior art.
Typically, the issuer will store a list of the secret nu~.bers in memorv 32 for use when the PIN is to be verified.
As can be apPreciated, since the subject invention provides for remote, off-line authorization, a PIN
a~proach must be selected which ~ermits authorization of the PIN in the terminal. This re~uirement can be satisfied by placina a portion of the personal identification number (partial PIN) on the card. This partial PIN can then be compared with the full PIN
entered at the terminal. Of course, if the authorization request is sent back to the issuer, the full PIN, entered hy the user, can be checked with the full PIN stored at the issuer. The details of implementing one type of ~artial PIN validation system can be found in the Interhank Card Association PIN

Manual at Page 56. If the PINs are to be enscripted, an off-line cryptographic key management system would be necessary. In the preferred embodiment of the subject invention, risk assessment information and a partial PIN are both encoded onto the card.
Turning now to Figure 2, there is illustrated a full scale transaction card system. While the subject system will find use in the simplified schematic shown in Figure 1, its savings will be most significant in a larger system where communication costs are greatly increased. For example, the full scale system shown in Figure 2 is implemented nationwide and, at the present time, is expanding rapidly into overseas markets.
As illustrated in Figure 2, a large scale system will include a number of issuers 120A, B and C. Each issuer will dis-tribute cards to its own cardholders. Thus, in this example, each issuer will maintain files 122A, B and C, respectively, for storing cardholder information. The cards of each of the issuers will include data identifying the cardholder, the issuing institution, and the risk assessment data.
In the system shown in Figure 2, there will generally be a number of "merchant members." For clarity, only one merchant member 50 is shown. Typically, a merchant member 50 will be another financial institution which is respons~ble for signing up various merchants. Many issuers play the dual role of a merchant member. The illustration is shown to indicate that an issuer and the majority of its cardholders can be located in New York, while the merchant memher and its associated merchants are located in California.

:r ~
Each merchant member 50 would sign up or recruit a number of merchants 60A, B and C. Each rnerchant 60 would be ~rovided with one or more terminals of the type ~iscussed above with reference to Figure 1. When the merchant 60 is signed up; the merchant member 50 would determine the potential for fraudulent transactions. ~ased on this evaluation, the terminal supplied to the merchant would be provided with a transaction dollar limit designed to strike a compromise between communication costs and the potential for loss. Such a transaction dollar limit can be periodically updated depending upon the performance of the merchant ~0. ~
In the illustrated embodiment, a data control center 70 is shown. The data control center acts as a network switch for routing transaction information. In a typical prior transaction, the cardholder data and transaction amount would be entered by the merchant at the merchant location. This information would i~e ~n routed to the merchant member 50O If the merchant member and the issuer of the card were identical, the transaction could be approved at that location.
-~owever, the issuer and the merchant are typically not the same and the transaction information is then ~5 supplied to tne data control center 70. In this situation, the data control center will determine the identit~ of the issuer of the card. The transaction information is then supplied to the proper issuer 120 for comParison with its own cardhol~er information 122.
As discussed above, the issuer will ma~e a determination whether to approve the transaction and return the response to the merchant.
As can be appreciated, the above approach can result in extremely high com~unication costs. One ~-~ method for reducing this cost is disclosed in Patent ~o. 4,~85,300. In this patent, each issuer supplies ~2~

- ~ -15-the data control center 70 with issuer parameters 72.
These parameters are based on the general cardholder performance for that issuer. Thus, if the issuer has relatively credit worthy customers, the parameters can be set at high level, enabling the data control center to issue a number of automatic approvals. ~hile this approach is successful in reducing costs, it will be apparent that the subject invention has additional advantages. Specifically, many transactions will be approved right at the merchant location, without ever having to be communicate with the data control center.
Further!nore, the risk assessment information can be tailored directly to the individual cardho~ders.
The operation oE the subject invention as shown in ~igure 2 is essentially the same as ~hat in ~igure 1.
r5ore specificallv, when a customer presents nis card to the merchant, the data carried thereon is read hv a terminal. The merchant will also enter the transaction amount. In the preferred embodiment, the processor will function to multiply the risk assessment value on the card times the transaction dollar amount stored in the terminal. The transaction amount will then be comPared to determine if the transaction can be approved without transmission beyond the terminal. If the transaction is approved, the terninal will issue the approval directly. If the transaction is not approved, it will be sent throu~h the system ~or subsequent evaluation.
In the preferred embodiment, the ter~inal can be programmed to add additional security features. For examPle, a random selector in the processor can be used to automatically designate certain transactions for transmission, no matter what was the result of the evaluation. In this manner, a fraudulent user who carefully selects transactions that fall below an estimated level would be periodically checked 5Çi~

~ -16-Another feature would be to include a geographical evaluation. More specifically, if the terminal determines that the issuer is located in a geographically close region, it can automatically route a higher percentage of those~transactions thereto since communication costs are low. If, however, the terminal determines that the issuer is at a remote location, a different dollar amount can be utilized to reduce long distance communication.
In summary, there has been provided a new and improved approach for a transaction system. In this approach, the issuer of transaction cards can control communication costs based on its own asses~ment of its cardholders. In this svstem, each transaction card is provided with risk assessment information supplied by the issuer. ~he terrninal is provided with a means for evaluating this infor~ation in com~arison with the present transaction. If the evaluation is favorable, tne transac~ion can ~e ap?roved at the terminal. If the transaction is .not favorable, the terminal will forward the transaction information to the issuer for approval.
While the subject invention has been lefined ~ith reference to preferred embodiments, it should be understood that various other changes and modifications could be made therein, by one skilled in the art, without varying from the scope and spirit of the subject invention as defined hy the appended claims.
