  • Publication number: 20110264572
    Abstract: A financial services and transaction network including multiple networked validation stations and remote terminals allows users to access a number of financial services and transactions. In some embodiments, a user indicates a desired service or transaction. The user provides any currency or information needed for the selected service, after which the user receives an identifier or transaction voucher. The user can take this identifier or voucher to any of the validation stations in order to authenticate the user's identity, if not already authenticated. Once the voucher or identifier is activated, the user or a recipient can present the voucher or identifier at any remote terminal to receive funding or otherwise complete the transaction or service.

  • Publication number: 20050033681
    Abstract: A method of providing money, goods, services or the like to an account-holder based on an account when the daily ATM limit set by a bank has been met, or when a debit or credit card PIN cannot be remembered. The process will enable one to access cash and items of value through either the ATM network or a point-of-sale network to thereby obtain cash or an item of value. If the account-holder has exceeded the ATM network limit, a processor may prompt the account-holder to determine if the account-holder would like to access the account through the point-of-sale network. The money or item of value will be disbursed to the account-holder at a third location, where precautionary security measures may be utilized to ensure that the person receiving the cash is indeed the proper account-holder.
