  • Patent number: 11270277
    Abstract: A computer system and a transaction machine (such as an automated teller machine (ATM)) of the same financial institution, can provide a third party customer the ability to pay bills, issued by the third party, at the ATM. A third party computer system communicates with the financial institution computer system to register the third party customer and obtain a first passcode associated with the third party customer. The financial institution computer system communicates the passcode and an associated bill amount to the ATM. The ATM accepts and verifies a second passcode received from the third party customer. The ATM communicates with the third party computer system to verify the bill amount. Responsive to receiving the verification, the ATM communicates with the third party user to accept a payment. Upon successfully receiving the payment, and verifying the payment amount, the ATM sends a payment notification to the third party computer system.

  • Patent number: 11030592
    Abstract: A robotic device for transporting physical money including a receiving interface, a counter mechanism, a storage vault, and a control circuit. The receiving interface receives physical money. The counter mechanism is connected to the receiving interface and receives and counts the physical money inserted into the receiving interface. The storage vault stores the physical money counted by the counter mechanism and remains closed when the robotic device is at a first location. The control circuit determines an amount of physical money stored in the storage vault based on the counted physical money, controls a drive system of the robotic device to cause the robotic device to travel from the first location to a second location, and opens the storage vault when the robotic device reaches the second location.

  • Patent number: 11010737
    Abstract: Systems and methods for provisioning a mobile device are described. Provisioning of a mobile device may include binding the device to financial account(s) associated with a financial institution computing system or binding an application installed on the device to the financial account(s). Such systems and methods may use ATMs to facilitate communication with the device and retrieve a unique identifier. The unique identifier, whether received from the ATM or through another communication channel, may be used to further verify the identity of a user of the device as well as verify that the device belongs to or is being used by the same user that has the financial. Once the user is verified and the mobile device is determined to belong to or used by the user, the mobile device can be provisioned by binding either the entire device or an application on the device to the financial account(s).

  • Patent number: 10846668
    Abstract: A method performed by a processor of a financial institution computing system includes allowing an account holder at the financial institution to initiate a transaction with the financial institution remotely (e.g., via smartphone app, online banking portal, etc.), by submitting a request for a branch of the financial institution to provide the specified transaction to the account holder's vehicle upon arrival of the account holder. The pickup and completion of the account holder requested transaction occurs in a designated spot near the financial institution's branch location and from the convenience of the account holder's vehicle. The curbside service alleviates the uncertainty and fluctuating time cost to engage in transactions at a branch of a financial institution by providing an account holder with a user interface to make a transaction request that will be ready to complete when the account holder arrives at the chosen time.

  • Patent number: 10687168
    Abstract: Systems and methods of adjusting computing device applications, such as smartphone applications, based on external beacon identifiers are described. Based on the identifier of the beacon detected by the smartphone, the smartphone application communicates with a backend server to receive location-specific information based on the identifier of the detected beacon. The location-specific information includes a location-specific user interface. In some arrangements, the location-specific user interface includes a designated user authentication level that varies from other location-specific user interfaces.

  • Patent number: 9846996
    Abstract: One embodiment of the disclosure relates to a system of servicing an automated teller machine (ATM) using a display configured to display augmented reality images. The electronic device may be configured to receive low-level diagnostic information from the malfunctioning ATM. Data may be transferred to a central location, wherein the data is analyzed and a solution to the problem of the malfunctioning ATM is determined and transferred back to the electronic device. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays components of the ATM using augmented reality such that a technician viewing the display may visualize the components of the ATM and receive instructions regarding the repair or care of the ATM.
