  • Patent number: 10223680
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for determining whether a check may be cashed at an automated teller machine (ATM) are provided. The ATM may capture check image data from the face of the check and the ATM may transmit the data to a check cashing computing platform. The check cashing computing platform may determine whether the account on which the check is drawn is an account of a first financial institution associated with the ATM, or the account is an account of a second financial institution. A first or second set of rules may be applied to the check based on this determination, to determine an overall check cashing risk score. A determination is then made, based on the overall check cashing risk score, as to whether the check may be cashed or the request to cash the check may be denied.

  • Patent number: 10134019
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for determining whether a check may be cashed at an automated teller machine (ATM) are provided. A user may request to cash a check at an ATM and check image data may be transmitted to a return deposit item computing platform. The computing platform may identify an account number of the account on which the check is drawn. Transaction data associated with the account may be retrieved by the computing platform and a number of occurrences of returned deposit items may be identified. The number of occurrences may be used to determine whether the check should be cashed.
