Patent number: 12400213Abstract: A method and system for managing and providing access to a temporary debit card is disclosed. The embodiments provide a system that authenticates remote users of an ATM kiosk who request a temporary debit card. The authentication occurs by capture of biometric data or a specially generated signal from their mobile device transmitted to the kiosk. In one example, the biometric data is compared to a reference biometric pattern. Where the system determines the biometric patterns match, or if the mobile device-generated signal is verified, a signal approving the request is transmitted from the system to the kiosk, causing the kiosk to fabricate a temporary debit card.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2023Date of Patent: August 26, 2025Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Brian Francisco Shipley, Priyadarshini Badugu, Ivan Ortiz, Sean Carl Mitchem, Jennifer Anne Scamardo, Janell Guzman

Patent number: 12361435Abstract: In a method of preventing fraudulent online financial transactions, a request to authorize an online, financial transaction may be received, where the transaction is associated with a debit or credit card account. A computing device at which information associated with the debit or credit card account was entered for the transaction may be identified, and a first geographic location at which the computing device resides may be determined. Based upon geolocation data indicating one or more geographic locations of the authorized cardholder, it may be determined that the authorized cardholder was at a second geographic location at a time of the transaction. If the second geographic location does not correspond to the first geographic location, the financial transaction may be prevented from being executed.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2023Date of Patent: July 15, 2025Assignee: State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance CompanyInventors: Timothy Kramme, Elizabeth A.

Patent number: 12229762Abstract: Computer-implemented multi-device and multi-channel processes and machines authenticate ATM transactions by independently generating authentication hashes based on authorization arrays of varying length in which array cells have been wiped out based on a one time passcode sent by a server to a user's smart electronic device and then entered via that channel into the ATM either automatically or manually. The arrays are salted based on characteristics of the user's smart electronic device or the like. If the authentication hashes independently generated by the ATM and the server match, the ATM transaction is authorized.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2022Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventor: Vijay Kumar Yarabolu
