Abstract: Systems and methods for conducting money transfer transactions are provided herein. The systems and methods may include receiving and storing reference fingerprint data associated with a first device. The reference fingerprint data can include reference device usage data corresponding to operation of the first device. Current fingerprint data associated with the first device can also be received. Based on a number of previous transactions performed using the first device, a matching threshold can be retrieved. Using the matching threshold, the current fingerprint data may be verified, thereby enabling the first device to conduct a transaction.

Abstract: A system and method for conducting money transfer transactions using mobile devices includes a money transfer host computer that facilitates the collection of fingerprint data for the mobile devices and personal data for users of the mobile devices. The personal data can include a user photo. In order to enable the mobile devices, both the fingerprint data and the personal data are collected, and at least the personal data is verified. To authorize transactions at an enabled mobile device, the fingerprint data and personal data are compared to reference data, and based on the comparison and on a threshold established for the comparison, a transaction is authorized or rejected.

Abstract: According to the invention, a system for providing payments to a point of sale device is disclosed. The system may include a mobile device having a storage medium, an input device, a wireless transmission device, and a processor. The storage medium may include individual authentication information and device authentication information. The input device may be configured to receive an input. The wireless transmission device may be configured to selectively transmit the device authentication information to a nearby point of sale device. The processor may be configured to compare the input with the individual authentication information, and activate the wireless transmission device to transmit the device authentication information if the input is correlated with the individual authentication information.

Abstract: Systems and methods for collecting biometrically secured financial form data from a user are described. A user input device may receive biometric data from the user. The user may be presented with a visual medium. The visual medium may contain a plurality of fields for information necessary to conduct a financial transaction. Handwriting data may be received from the user. At least a portion of the handwriting may represent information corresponding to the plurality of fields for information necessary to conduct the financial transaction. At least a portion of the information corresponding to the plurality of fields for information necessary to conduct the financial transaction may be transmitted from the user input device to a computer system.

Abstract: Methods and systems, related to a biometrically secured user input device for conducting a transaction are described. The user input device may comprise a biometric authentication device. At the biometrically secured user input device, a biometric sample may be received from a user. The biometrically secured user input device may transmit the biometric sample, provided by the user, to a host computer system. The host computer system may compare the biometric sample provided by the user to another biometric sample. Handwriting data from the user may then be received by the user input device. The handwriting data may be transmitted to a computer system by the user input device. Transaction data based on the handwriting data may be transmitted from the computer system to a host computer system. The financial transaction may be conducted using the transaction data transmitted to the host computer system from the computer system.

Abstract: Systems and method for a handheld biometrically secured user input device are described. A biometric authentication device may be coupled with a handheld enclosure, the biometric authentication device capable of collecting user authentication information from a user to authenticate the user's identity. A computer-readable storage device may be coupled with the handheld enclosure for storing confidential financial information of the user, wherein access to the confidential financial information is granted only after the user's identity has been authenticated. A sensor may be coupled with the handheld enclosure, capable of capturing the user's handwriting. Also, a communication device may be configured to transmit information gathered with the sensor to a computer system.

Abstract: A method for designating accounts for funds from a check to be deposited is described. The method includes receiving, at a processing center having a processor, a direct deposit government entitlement check from a government entity to be deposited. The check may include an identifier. The method further includes comparing the identifier with a customer database to determine that funds from the check have been designated to be divided into sub-amounts and deposited into a plurality of accounts. Each of the plurality of accounts has account type and an associated expenditure designation. The method then receives a report of a total amount deposited from the check for each type of associated expenditure designation and each account type.
