Abstract: A touchless method and system of performing an authentication of a person in order to permit access to a secured resource is disclosed. The system and method are configured to collect channel state information associated with a person as they pass through a sensor zone and identify a biometric signal for the person. The system detects whether there is a match between the biometric signal and any biometric signals previously collected and stored in a database. If there is a match, the system verifies an identity of the person and can be configured to automatically grant the person access to one or more services, features, or locations for which he or she is authorized based on the authentication.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for authenticating a mobile user via an authentication method determined based on a token level associated with the action being completed. An authentication token is created corresponding to the token level and the authentication token is sent to the mobile device. This authentication token may be used to authenticate subsequent actions and engage various services to complete the actions using application programming interfaces. The authentication token stored on the mobile device obviates the need for a user to authenticate multiple times to complete actions requiring a similar token level. The system may authenticate the identity of the mobile user using various authentication methods.

Abstract: Advantageously, the invention is a competitor to money transfer systems. Conventional digital transactions facilitate electronic payment, such as money transfers, payment card charges, e-commerce transactions and other types of transactions. However, payees may be unbanked people (e.g., children) or people with no payment card (e.g., may have lost card), and payment card fund transfers may be expensive, time consuming, and cumbersome for financial institutions. Thus, there is need for an improved approach.

Abstract: Systems and methods for an autonomous marketplace system include a server that extracts borrower data including financial, operational and business data, and lender data from prospective lenders including financial data and a target profile for each prospective lender. It then generates, using artificial intelligence, an autonomous ranked match of prospective lenders. The artificial intelligence identifies relationships between the borrower data and the prospective lender data to generate the autonomous ranked match based on a preference of the borrower and a correlation between the identified relationships. Upon the borrower entering an internet based chat room, the identities of the prospective lenders are revealed. The borrower selects one or more prospective lenders to receive a finance request, and after selection by the borrower, the selected prospective lenders are first notified and informed of an existence of the finance request of the borrower.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes creating a premiums escrow, with a zero balance, for a group of policyholders and managed using a distributed ledger and self-executing agreement. At a term beginning, the self-executing agreement receives premium payments using cryptocurrency from each policyholder and allocates the premium payments to the premiums escrow. During the term the self-executing agreement receives a notification of an incident claim associated with a claimant policyholder. At a term end, the self-executing agreement receives payment instructions from the policyholders; pays, using cryptocurrency from the premiums escrow, the claimant an incident claim payment larger than the premium payment and determined according to the payment instructions; and distributes to the policyholders a rebate payment equal to or lower than the premium payment from the premiums escrow, which returns to a zero balance.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a payment server and from a messaging application executing on a first mobile device operated by a first user, a request to initiate a payment transaction using a payment application.
