The condition codes may be submitted by the client. The condition codes may be verified when a deposit is processed by a vault. Illustrative condition codes may correspond to: armored courier ID, envelope status, counterfeit status. The XML data feed may utilize dynamic online, rule-based forms for clients, banks, armored couriers and vaults.

Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment, a system includes a memory operable to store a user account identifier associated with a user account and a mobile device identifier associated with a mobile device. The memory is also operable to store a first user credential and a second user credential, the second user credential, wherein the second user credential comprises user input data captured by a sensor. The system includes a network interface operable to receive a request to authenticate a requesting user. The system also includes a processor operable to determine information included in the request to facilitate authentication of the requesting user and whether the information included in the request matches the information associated with the user account. The processor is further operable to authenticate the requesting user if the request is associated with the user account and information included in the request matches the information associated with the user account.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for client deposit tracking are provided. The deposit may be tracked from a time the deposit is retrieved from a client location until a value of the deposit is credited to a client.

The bar-code may be electronically transmitted to the cartridge. The bar-code may include deposit information. The deposit information may include deposit weights. The bar-code may be captured an armored courier. Information captured from the bar-code may be transmitted to a financial institution. The financial institution may derive performance metrics based on the information captured from the bar-code. Deposit status determination may be provided based on the information capture from the bar-code. Deposits status information may be transmitted to a client of the financial institution.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a transaction device for performing a transaction between a customer and a merchant comprises an account selection engine and a communication link. The account selection engine operable to receive information identifying at least one characteristic of a proposed transaction, identify a plurality of accounts associated with the customer, and select a first account from among the plurality of accounts based on the at least one characteristic. The communication link is operable to transmit identification of the first account to a point of sale interface of a transaction device, the point of sale interface operable to transmit a transaction request to a point of sale receiver associated with the merchant, the transaction request comprising an account number associated with the first account.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a transaction processing system for evaluating transactions between a customer and a merchant comprises a transaction tracker, an account selection engine, and a performance module. The transaction tracker is operable to identify a transaction executed by a customer using a transaction device, the transaction device being operable to execute a transaction with a point of sale receiver associated with the merchant by providing an account number for a first account of the plurality of accounts. The account selection engine is operable to receive information identifying at least one characteristic of the transaction and select a recommended account based on the at least one characteristic. The performance module is operable to compare the first account with the recommended account to determine whether the customer would have received a financial benefit by executing the transaction using the recommended account instead of the first account.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products for capturing elements of a negotiable instrument and generating a thumbnail image of the negotiable instrument for use in image recreation. In some embodiments, a method is provided that includes: (a) receiving an image of the negotiable instrument, wherein the image of the negotiable instrument comprises one or more elements that are used for processing the negotiable instrument; (b) capturing, using the image capture device, images of one or more elements of the negotiable instrument; (c) generating a thumbnail image of the negotiable instrument based at least partially on an image of the negotiable instrument; and (d) storing the images of the one or more elements of the negotiable instrument and the thumbnail image of the negotiable instrument in the database.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include systems, methods, and computer-program products for providing recreated image documents using templates or generic control documents. In this way, an entity may store limited amounts of image data from an original document and subsequently recreate the document image using document templates. As such, the invention may compile templates for image documents. Upon receiving a document from a transaction for storage, the system may store the metadata associated with that document, instead of storing the entire document as a high resolution image file. Using the template, in combination with the metadata, the system may recreate the image as a system generated image for user recall and reconciliation.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for determining a storage location for an image of a check. In some embodiments, a system is configured to: receive an image of a check, the image being associated with an account associated with a user; analyze check retrieval activity associated with the account; determine, based on the check retrieval activity, a storage location for the image; and store the image at the storage location.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relates to systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products for capturing and storing elements of a negotiable instrument for use in image recreation. In some embodiments, a method is provided that includes: (a) receive an image of the negotiable instrument, wherein the image of the negotiable instrument comprises one or more elements that are used for processing the negotiable instrument and non-element portions that are not used in processing the negotiable instrument; (b) capture, using the image capture device, images of one or more elements of the negotiable instrument; (c) store the images of the one or more elements of the negotiable instrument in the database; and (d) store, as white space, the non-element portions of the image of the negotiable instrument in the database.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include systems, methods, and computer-program products for providing recreated image documents using image lift data. In this way, an entity may store limited amounts of image data from an original document and subsequently recreate the document image using image lift data. As such, the invention may receive an image document for storage. Upon receiving a document from a transaction for storage, the system may store metadata associated with that document, instead of storing the entire document as a high resolution image file. Furthermore, the system may determine specific unique elements of the document (such as signatures or the like) to capture as an image file. This allows the unique element to be lifted as image data. Using the lifted image data, in combination with the metadata, the system may recreate the image as a system generated image for user recall and reconciliation.
