  • Patent number: 11200553
    Abstract: A system provides for a self-checkout terminal with various components. A receiver receives shopping data including prices of items that a customer has physically acquired or placed in a cart. A payment logic receives credential information associated with a monetary account for paying for the items. A message logic creates checkout data that includes data representing the collection of purchase items. A transmitter transmits the credential information to an account network for authentication and the receiver receives a response indicating if the monetary account is valid. The payment logic/self-checkout terminal indicates to the customer that a payment using the monetary account for the purchase items is authorized or not. When authorized, an authorization is received at the self-checkout terminal before the customer arrives at the terminal and the self-checkout terminal causes a payment transaction to be executed to provide for self-checkout using the monetary account without assistance by another person.

  • Publication number: 20190325512
    Abstract: In an example embodiment described herein, there is disclosed a method for using a distributed ledger (e.g., a blockchain) for tracking debt information. For example, debt data is created by a first financial institution responsive to a loan. The debt data is stored in a distributed ledger by the first financial institution with a first key that is associated with the first financial institution. Payment data is also stored in the distributed ledger encrypted by the first key. Upon transfer of the debt to a second financial institution, subsequent debt data is stored in the distributed ledger encrypted by a second key associated with the second financial institution.
