Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing a customer a central location to manage permissions provided to third-parties and devices to access and use customer information maintained by a financial institution are described. The central location serves as a central portal where a customer of the financial institution can manage all access to account information and personal information stored at the financial institution. Accordingly, the customer does not need to log into each individual third-party system or customer device to manage previously provided access to the customer information or to provision new access to the customer information. A user additionally is able to have user data and third-party accounts of the user deleted from devices, applications, and third-party systems via a central portal.

Claims15

Dependent claims

A computing device comprising:

a network interface configured to communicate via a telecommunications network;
one or more user interfaces for visually presenting graphical elements and for receiving user inputs;
and
a processor and a memory having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
present, via the one or more user interfaces, an interactive graphical interface that identifies an application for which an access permission for access to user information via an application programming interface (API) is controlled;
present, via the interactive graphical interface, a menu for selecting between a first subset of the user information and a second subset of the user information to be made accessible to the application via the API;
receive, from the one or more user interfaces, a signal indicating a user input corresponding with a selection of one of the first subset of the user information and the second subset of the user information via the menu;
use the network interface to transmit, to a service provider computing system, an indication of which one of the first subset of the user information and the second subset of the user information has been selected, to grant the application access to the selected subset of the user information;
present, via the interactive graphical interface, an alert from the service provider computing system that indicates that a frequency of access to the selected subset of the user information by the application exceeds a predetermined frequency threshold, the alert indicating that access to the selected subset of the user information by the application has been automatically revoked;
receive, via the interactive graphical interface, an interaction with the alert to indicate that the access to the selected subset of the user information by the application is authorized;
and
transmit a reversal request indicating that the access to the selected subset of the user information by the application is to be restored.

A method for controlling access permissions to user devices, the method comprising:

presenting, by a computing device, via one or more user interfaces, an interactive graphical interface that identifies an application for which an access permission for access to user information via an application programming interface (API) is controlled, the one or more user interfaces being configured to visually present graphical elements and receive user inputs;
presenting, by the computing device, via the interactive graphical interface, a menu for selecting between a first subset of the user information and a second subset of the user information to be made accessible to the application via the API;
receiving, by the computing device, from the one or more user interfaces, a signal indicating a user input corresponding with a selection of one of the first subset of the user information and the second subset of the user information via the menu;
using, by the computing device, a network interface to transmit, to a service provider computing system, an indication of which one of the first subset of the user information and the second subset of the user information has been selected to grant the application access to the selected subset of the user information;
presenting, by the computing device, via the interactive graphical interface, an alert from the service provider computing system that indicates that a frequency of access to the selected subset of the user information by the application exceeds a predetermined frequency threshold, the alert indicating that access to the selected subset of the user information by the application has been automatically revoked;
receiving, by the computing device, via the interactive graphical interface, an interaction with the alert to indicate that the access to the selected subset of the user information by the application is authorized;
and
transmitting, by the computing device, a reversal request indicating that the access to the selected subset of the user information by the application is to be restored.

5 more elements

A non-transitory computer readable medium having machine-executable instructions stored thereon, the instructions being executable by a processor of a computing device to cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

presenting, via one or more user interfaces, an interactive graphical interface that identifies an application for which an access permission for access to user information via an application programming interface (API) is controlled, the one or more user interfaces being configured to visually present graphical elements and receive user inputs;
presenting, via the interactive graphical interface, a menu for selecting between a first subset of the user information and a second subset of the user information to be made accessible to the application via the API;
receiving, from the one or more user interfaces, a signal indicating a user input corresponding with a selection of one of the first subset of the user information and the second subset of the user information via the menu;
using a network interface to transmit, to a service provider computing system, an indication of which one of the first subset of the user information and the second subset of the user information has been selected to grant the application access to the selected subset of the user information;
presenting, via the interactive graphical interface, an alert from the service provider computing system that indicates that a frequency of access to the selected subset of the user information by the application exceeds a predetermined frequency threshold, the alert indicating that access to the selected subset of the user information by the application has been automatically revoked;
receive, via the interactive graphical interface, an interaction with the alert to indicate that the access to the selected subset of the user information by the application is authorized or unauthorized;
and
transmit a reversal request indicating that the access to the selected subset of the user information by the application is to be restored.
