A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11829985B1) outlines a system for processing purchase transactions by customers, utilizing machine learning models to optimize account selection based on customer preferences and historical data. The system includes a memory storing account information and activity data, with at least one processor receiving transaction requests and determining account balances to fulfill the requested value. By training a machine learning model on successful customer goals and transaction histories, the system can select the most suitable account for the transaction, considering factors such as customer preferences, account balances, and cost information. In cases where account balances change, the system can dynamically adjust account selection using the machine learning model, ensuring efficient transaction processing.

Furthermore, the patent details a method and a computer-readable storage medium with instructions for implementing the system's operations. These include receiving transaction requests, training the machine learning model, selecting accounts based on various inputs, and transferring the requested value to the third-party system. The method also allows for requesting additional funds from financial entities if account balances are insufficient, providing loans to customers, and notifying customers of transaction transfers. The computer-readable storage medium contains instructions for performing these operations, emphasizing the system's adaptability to changing account conditions and customer preferences, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of purchase transaction processing.
