  • Patent number: 10074130
    Abstract: A computing platform may receive a plurality of messages comprising data indicating physical presence of customers of a financial institution at a physical banking center location of the financial institution from an indoor positioning system located at the physical banking center location of the financial institution. Responsive to receiving the plurality of messages comprising the data indicating the physical presence of the customers of the financial institution at the physical banking center location of the financial institution, the computing platform may determine that at least one customer of the customers of the financial institution at the physical banking center location of the financial institution has flagged one or more items via an online-banking system of the financial institution.

  • Patent number: 10050962
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products are provided for determining a user's authentication requirements/credentials for function requiring authentication based on determining a location along an authentication continuum. The location along the authentication continuum defines the degree of authentication/credentials required to access the function and is determined based on a current state of the user and/or function attributes. The more or less that is known about the current state of the user the more or less likely the user is the user that is attempting to access the function and, thus, the authentication requirements required to access the function can be adjusted according (increased or decreased).

  • Patent number: 10032223
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for assessing retirement planning based on a retirement score. The system is configured to compile projected retirement information of a first user, wherein the retirement information comprises a user profile of the first user. Based on the user profile of the first user, the system generates a projected retirement score. After generating the projected retirement score, the system receives a request to link a user profile for a second user to the user profile of the first user. The system projected retirement information of the second user and combines the projected retirement information of the first user with the projected retirement information of the second user, thus resulting in combined projected retirement information. Using both the projected retirement information, the system updates the projected retirement score.

  • Patent number: 10019760
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products utilizing a generated retirement score for use qualification and authorization to receive benefits. In this way, the invention calculates a retirement score for the user indicating the user's preparedness for retirement at a future predetermined date, wherein the future predetermined date is selected by the user. In response, the system displays the retirement score on a retirement planning interface on a user device. Subsequently, the invention parses out the component parts of the retirement score, distributes the parsed scores within the entity to determine benefits available to the user. These benefits may be provide via the planning interface. Finally, the retirement score may be combined with financial assessment scores and provided to third parties for product approval and implementation for user.

  • Patent number: 9940409
    Abstract: This invention provides a contextual search tool to a user. The contextual search tool receives a search from the user and provides search results, content, and dynamic contextual information (e.g., dynamic contextual questions, user information, and account information) to the user. The contextual search tool then receives contextual information input from the user (input for the dynamic contextual information, selection of the search results, or the like) and updates the search results and the dynamic contextual information. As such, the invention of the present invention improves the ability of the contextual search tool to provide tailored, customized, and relevant search results to the user based not only on the search terms provided by the user, but based on dynamic contextual information that changes as the user takes actions within the contextual search interface.

  • Patent number: 9922117
    Abstract: This invention provides a contextual search tool to a user. The contextual search tool receives a search from the user and provides search results, content, and dynamic contextual information (e.g., dynamic contextual questions, user information, and account information) to the user. The contextual search tool then receives contextual information input from the user with an indication that the user would like to communicate with an advisor, and a communication channel is opened between the user and the advisor. The advisor has access the user's search and provides contextual information input, which allows the contextual search tool to update the search results and the dynamic contextual information. As such, the invention of the present invention improves the ability of the contextual search tool to provide tailored, customized, and relevant search results to the user based in part on advisor input.

  • Patent number: 9734643
    Abstract: Systems and methods for using proximity positioning systems to determine a location of a user, identify the user and provide additional services and/or functionality to the user based on the determined location and/or identity are presented. In some examples, a low-power radio signal emitted from a location beacon may be received or detected by a personal computing device. The location of the beacon, and the device detecting the signal, may be determined. The location information, as well as a unique identifier associated with the personal computing device, may be used to identify a user associated with the personal computing device and the location of the user. This information may be used to provide additional services and/or functionality to the user. For instance, the location and identity information may be used to provide the user with access to secure areas within a location.

  • Patent number: 9692897
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to routing customer calls to preferred agents. Embodiments receive a call from a customer using a user device; determine an identity of the customer; retrieve information associated with the matching entry; based at least in part on the retrieved information, select one or more agents; and route the call to one of the selected agents. Some embodiments determine a telephone number from which the call was received; comparing the telephone number with a plurality of entries in a customer information database; and determining that the telephone number matches an entry in the database. Other embodiments receive a communication from the user device indicating that the customer has placed the call; determine that the customer is currently authenticated through an online banking session or a mobile application on the user device; and receive a communication from the user device indicating the customer's identity.
