Abstract
An auto-enrollment billing updater (AEBU) computing device for enrolling enrollees in an automatic updating program is provided. The AEBU computing device is configured to receive, from an acquirer computing device, an account update request for updated account data for a set of account identifiers, the account update request including an input acquirer identifier and an input merchant identifier. The AEBU computing device is further configured to perform a lookup within a transaction database using a combination of the input acquirer identifier and the input merchant identifier, wherein the transaction database includes transaction data involving a plurality of cardholders and a plurality of merchants. The AEBU computing device is further configured to identify as a merchant enrollee the merchant included within the transaction database having a stored acquirer identifier and a stored merchant identifier combination that matches the input acquirer identifier and the input merchant identifier combination included in the request, and automatically enroll the merchant enrollee in the automatic updating program when the merchant enrollee is identified.
