Abstract: A real-time system and method for invoking a fraud alert notification to a bank prompted by an abandoned deposit following a denied accelerated funding request for a financial item.

Abstract: A system and method for determining whether to accelerate the funding of a financial item presented by a holder of the item for payment. A first risk range value is calculated according to stored transaction history data associated with at least one attribute of the presented financial item and a second risk range value is calculated if the transaction does not meet the criteria of the calculated first risk range value.

Abstract: A real-time system and method for determining whether to invoke a fraud alert notification to a bank concerning an account holder or an item issuer following an interim determination that the account holder or item issuer has participated in a fraudulent transaction. An interim determination is updated based in part on bank transaction data received following the interim determination.

A first risk range value is calculated according to stored transaction history data associated with at least one attribute of the presented financial item and a second risk range value is calculated if the transaction does not meet the criteria of the calculated first risk range value.

Abstract: An automated check-cashing unit includes an input device configured to generate input signals in response to inputs from a customer, a storage device including a database of customer information, a check reader configured to receive and read a check to be processed, a cash dispenser, and an electronic processor. The processor is configured to receive the input signals from the input device, receive information about the check to be processed from the check reader, access the database of customer information to obtain data about the customer, and determine automatically whether to accept or reject the check based on the input signals, the received information about the check, and the data about the customer. Upon accepting the check, the processor signals the cash dispenser to dispense cash to the customer. The processor may be further configured to confirm the identity of the customer based on biometric information about the customer.
