  • Patent number: 11972418
    Abstract: A mobile device configured for currency exchange enables a user to cause funds in a first pre-established account and denominated in a first currency to be sent to a first transaction machine to purchase funds denominated in a second currency. The mobile device electronically receives second account information after a second account is created, with the second account being created responsive to completion of the first transaction. The created second account includes the purchased funds denominated in the second currency. Accordingly, the user is enabled, subsequent to the first transaction, to select a second account module in the mobile device that has since been configured with the received second account information of the created second account. The user can thereafter cause the mobile device to send that second account information to a second, different transaction machine to perform at least a second transaction in the second currency. Other aspects are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11961139
    Abstract: Geographical mapping and linking of security and risk indicator data. Cross-references are created between location indicators and geo-spatial areas based on a statistical algorithm, in accordance with geo-spatial data. The cross-references are stored in a first data table. A credit risk indicator (CRI) is generated for each geo-spatial area based on other data, forming CRI data that is stored in second data table. A security associated with one of the location indicators is identified among security data. A first link is created between the security and a geo-spatial area based on the cross-references in the first data table. Based on the first link, a second link is created between an indicator among the CRI data in the second data table and the security. The second link is used to form instrument-level data for the security that includes the indicator. The instrument-level data is stored in a third data table.

  • Patent number: 11881087
    Abstract: A payment processing method uses a credit push for disbursing funds at ATM. The process can include scanning an optical code at an ATM using a mobile device to determine creditor bank information. A debtor bank server receives a funds disbursement request and provides a credit push request to a payment rail. The payment rail communicates a credit payment transaction request to a creditor bank sever. The creditor bank server identifies the ATM using an ATM identifier provided to the mobile device via the optical code. The ATM is instructed to disburse funds by the creditor bank server. The method includes using the mobile device, or other issuer domain, authentication procedures. The funds can be disbursed by the ATM without the ATM performing any authentication procedures.
