Classifying Open-Loop And Closed-Loop Payment Cards Based On Optical Character Recognition

A user captures an image of a payment card via a user computing device camera. An optical character recognition system receives the payment card image from the user computing device. The system performs optical character recognition and visual object recognition algorithms on the payment card image to extract text and visual objects from the payment card image, which are used by the system to identify a payment card type. The system may categorize the payment card as an open-loop card or a closed-loop card, or as a credit card or a non-credit card. In an example embodiment, the system allows or prohibits extracted financial account information from the payment card to be saved in the digital wallet account based on the determined payment card category. In another example embodiment, the system transmits an advisement to the user based on the determined payment card category.
