  • Publication number: 20240037524
    Abstract: An Automated Transaction Machine (ATM) is associated with a beacon. The beacon may communicate with an electronic device running a software application that is configured to detect the beacon. The software application may have a reaction based upon the detection of the beacon. The ATM or related systems may respond to data directly or indirectly from the software application to make a customization or take other action based there on.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20190236581
    Abstract: A method and system for linking transaction information provided prior to or upon arrival at the drive-through lane with a computing device in a drive-through is disclosed herein. A first input is received at a first computing device from second computing device of a user. The first input includes details of an exchange of a physical article and an account associated with the user. Subsequently, a second input is received by first computing device that includes the account and data associated with an exchange location. A third computing device is positioned along a drive-through lane at the exchange location. The first computing device communicates at least part of the first input to the third computing device in response to the receiving the second input. A physical article is exchanged with the user in response to the first input.

  • Publication number: 20180144586
    Abstract: A system for onboarding banking-account information (an onboarding transaction) to be use in future transactions includes a banking-device terminal with a card-reading device to read a banking card and input device(s) to receive a verification input associating the banking card with a banking customer. One or more secure bank computing devices receive the banking-account information and the verification input and verify the banking-account information corresponds with the verification input to authorize the onboarding transaction. When the onboarding transaction is authorized, the at-least-one secure bank-computing device requests a customer-device identification of a mobile-customer device to be used for future-banking transactions. The secure bank computing device(s) receive the customer-device identification and store account data associated with the customer-device identification, the banking-account information and/or the verification input so that they may be used for future-banking transactions.

  • Publication number: 20170364899
    Abstract: A system having a payment-credential logic; a software application; wherein when an authorized person verifies an identity of a mobile customer using a government identification document, the payment-credential logic is then activated, the payment-credential logic is configured to create payment-credential information and to cause the payment-credential information to be stored for future access, wherein the payment-credential logic is configured to provide a way for the software application to be loaded into a mobile customer device, wherein the software application is configured to allow the mobile customer device to access the payment-credential information for one or more future monetary transactions.

  • Patent number: 7644039
    Abstract: An automated financial transaction apparatus (10) includes a touch screen interface (14) and a plurality of transaction function devices (22, 34, 36, 42, 46, 50, 54, 58) which operate to carry out financial transactions for users. A reading device (18, 78) senses characteristic features of users who operate the machine. Data stored in at least one data store associated with at least one computer (62, 118, 120) includes data representative of the characteristic features associated with a plurality of users and for each user, at least one interface parameter. The apparatus operates so that when the characteristic feature associated with a particular user is sensed by the reading device, the display screen and other input and output devices are changed in position or operation to accommodate the stature, disabilities, desires or other special requirements of the user.
