Rules engine for applying rules from a reviewing network to signals from an originating network

摘要

A rules engine for applying rules from a reviewing network to data signals from an originating network is described. The rules engine includes a processor coupled to a memory device. The rules engine is coupled to the reviewing network, and is configured to receive an authorization data signal from the originating network. The authorization data signal includes authorization data for at least one transaction that has been processed by the originating network. The originating network and the reviewing network are payment networks. Additionally, the rules engine generates an authorization response data signal that includes authorization response data by comparing the authorization data to the rules stored in the memory device. The authorization response data indicates whether the reviewing network authorizes or declines the at least one transaction included in the authorization data. The rules engine transmits the clearance response data signal to the originating network.
