US Patent 12020318 Systems and methods for payee identification via camera

A provider computing system associated with a provider institution includes a network interface configured to communicate data over a network, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to receive, by the network interface, image data from a user computing device associated with a user, the image data pertaining to a bill of a user issued by a payee, extract a first structure of computer-readable data from the image data, associate a first payee identification parameter with the first structure, determine that the first structure is stored in association with a verified payee at a payee database based on the first payee identification parameter, and in response to determining that the first structure is stored in association with the verified payee, update an account of the user to enable the user to utilize the user computing device to authorize a payment to the payee.
