  • Patent number: 8261976
    Abstract: An automated banking machine transaction request is authorized based on the determined location of an authorized user relative to the machine. Identification of an authorized machine user is linked to a remotely locatable item (e.g., a cell phone) of the authorized user. A machine receiving the user identification causes the location of the cell phone to be determined. A comparison is then made of the cell phone location and the machine location. If the locations correspond, then the current machine user is recognized as the authorized user and machine transactions are permitted. If the locations do not correspond, then the current user is denied transactions at the machine. The security arrangement helps prevent an unauthorized person from using a fraudulent machine card to access a financial account.

  • Patent number: 8245913
    Abstract: An automated banking machine operates responsive to data read from data bearing records. The data corresponds to user card data received from a cell phone. The machine generates and displays a random number correlated with a time period. The machine user inputs the displayed random number into their phone. A software application in the phone encrypts the selected card data along with the inputted random number. The phone then displays a bar code image containing the encrypted data. The machine includes a bar code reader to read the displayed image. The machine can decrypt the random number and the card data from the read image. The random number is used to verify the current banking transaction session. The process replaces physical insertion of a card yet allows secure input of card data.
