  • Publication number: 20230394517
    Abstract: An automated teller machine (“ATM”) includes a network interface, a display device, and an input/output device. The ATM further includes a processing circuit including a processor and a memory, the memory structured to store instructions that are executable by the processor. The instructions cause the processing circuit to receive authentication information from the customer and authenticate the customer using the authentication information, retrieve a real-time rewards balance of a rewards account associated with the customer, generate a banner for the customer based on the real-time rewards balance, and display the banner to the customer. The banner is selectable and activates a rewards functionality of the ATM to cause the ATM to display a screen including at least one of the real-time rewards balance or an option for the customer to redeem the rewards balance held by the customer when the banner is selected.

  • Publication number: 20230376919
    Abstract: A system includes a location identifier device and a computer system. The location identifier is configured to transmit an identifier to a user device when the user device is within a predetermined range of an area and receive location information from the user device associated with a user. The computer system is configured to receive the location information from the user device within the area via the location identifier device and receive a request for an ATM transaction from the user device. The request includes attribute information associated with the user. The computer system is configured to receive attribute information associated with the user comprising an indication of a license plate within the area and identify, based on a determination that the attribute information at least partially matches the attribute information from the request, the user associated with the request.

  • Patent number: 11087297
    Abstract: Methods and systems for completing financial operations via a contactless automated teller machine are disclosed. An ATM includes a network interface circuit enabling the ATM to exchange information over a network, an input/output device configured to exchange data with a input/output device of a mobile device, and an ATM circuit. The ATM circuit receives an ATM transaction request via a short-range wireless communication between the mobile device and the input/output device. The ATM transaction request includes authentication information associated with a user of the mobile device. The ATM circuit transmits the ATM transaction request to the network for approval and receives an approval message from a financial institution computing system indicating that the user is authorized to create financial operation requests. The ATM circuit completes a financial operation request created by the user by dispensing an amount of a currency or displaying requested account information.

  • Patent number: 10706400
    Abstract: An automated teller machine (“ATM”) is associated with a financial institution (FI). The ATM includes a network interface circuit (“NFC”) enabling the ATM to exchange information over a network, an input/output device configured to exchange data with a mobile wallet circuit on a mobile device associated with a customer, and a processing circuit communicably engaged to the network interface circuit and the input/output circuit. The processing circuit includes a processor and a memory, the memory structured to store instructions that are executable by the processor. The instructions cause the processing circuit to receive, by the input/output device; a payment token from the mobile wallet circuit; determine whether the payment token is associated with the FI; in response to determining that the payment token is associated with the FI, detokenize the payment token to identify an customer account; and process an ATM transaction using the customer account.

  • Patent number: 10657774
    Abstract: Embodiments of the method for authenticating may include causing an automated teller machine to replace a card verification value with an updated card verification value during a first transaction at the automated teller machine when a re-write condition is present, such as a request from an account holder, a determination that the security of the card was compromised during a prior transaction, a predetermined time interval has lapsed, a predetermined number of transactions have occurred since a previous time the card verification value was rewritten, and according to a predetermined geographical parameter. The updated card verification value may be stored as a current value in a verification value database. The method may include receiving a card verification request related to a second transaction, and authenticating, using verification logic, the second transaction by determining whether the card verification value for the second transaction matches the current value stored in the database.

  • Patent number: 10304295
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for making a deposit by a customer are provided. The system includes a financial institution computing system. The financial institution computing system is communicable with an ATM over a network, and structured to receive deposit information from the ATM and to determine an amount of funds from the deposit that are available to the customer for immediate withdrawal at the ATM based on the deposit information. The deposit information includes an event indicator. The event indicator has a first value when the customer voluntarily enters a keyed-in deposit amount into the ATM, a second value when the customer is prompted to enter a keyed-in deposit amount into the ATM by the ATM, and a third value when the customer does not enter a keyed-in deposit amount into the ATM. The first value, the second value, and the third value are all distinct from one another.
