Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for receiving a request from a user for access to at least one function associated with a first application; determining that access to at least one function requires user authentication; initiating sensing of an authentication validating carrier comprising a first credential; determining the first credential based at least in part on the sensed authentication validating carrier; validating the first credential, thereby resulting in a first successful user authentication; and granting access to at least one function associated with the first application based on the validation of the first successful user authentication.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, and a computer program product self-selected user access based on specific authentication types. The system typically including a memory, a processor, and a module configured to receive from a user, a user-selected preference, wherein the user-selected preference comprises one or more authentication types desired by the user; determine a level of authentication from a plurality of levels of authentication are associated with the one or more authentication types associated with the user-selected preference; initiate the presentation of a user interface that enables the user to select one or more application functions, wherein the one or more application functions are associated with the determined level of authentication; receive from a user, a selection of one or more application functions.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for accessing a remotely located mobile device of a user based on certain events is provided. The system, method, and computer program product are configured to: (a) receive an indication that a transaction vehicle of the user is compromised; (b) identify a mobile device of the user that is associated with the transaction vehicle of the user that is compromised; (c) upon identifying the mobile device of the user, remotely access the mobile device of the user; and (d) reconfigure one or more applications accessible to the mobile device or one or more functional features of the mobile device based at least partially on receiving the indication.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products are provided for determining a user's authentication requirements/credentials for a specific network access session based on the current location of the user in comparison to predetermined boundaries of location that have altered authentication requirements, in the form of, increased or decreased authentication requirements/credentials that differ from the standard authentication requirements.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for providing post-transaction receipt collection and product promotion monitoring. As such, receipts associated with a user transaction may be collected and the products from those receipts may be determined. Subsequently, the invention may monitor promotions from merchants that are associated with the products of the transaction. In this way, the invention monitors for promotions, such as coupons or discounts, associated with products of a past transaction. If a match between a promotion and a product is made, the system may compare the match to pre-established rules. If the pre-established rules are not triggered, the invention may provide the user with a notification that an eligible promotion exists for a product that he/she has previously purchased. In this way, the user may be able utilize the current promotion for a previously purchased product.
