  • Patent number: 12293371
    Abstract: A financial institution computing system includes a network circuit exchanging information over a network, a customer database storing financial information, and a transaction circuit. The transaction circuit receives a transaction request associated with a user computing device. The transaction request specifies a financial account. The transaction circuit receives payment card location information indicative of a location of a payment card with respect to the user computing device. The payment card location information indicates that the payment card is within a threshold distance of the user computing device. The transaction circuit authenticates the transaction request using the payment card location information and by determining whether the payment card is associated with an authorized user of the financial account.
