Abstract: Systems and methods for distributed ledger-based check verification are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method may include a bank backend computer program: (1) receiving, from a computer application executed by an electronic device, an image of a presented check as part of an electronic check deposit process; (2) performing optical character recognition on the image of the presented check; (3) generating a text file based on the optical character recognition; (4) querying a distributed ledger in a distributed ledger network to determine whether the presented check has been presented or cleared before; (5) determining that the presented check has not been presented or cleared before; (6) processing the presented check for deposit; and (7) writing the text file for the presented check to the distributed ledger.

Abstract: Systems and methods for check image deposit are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for bulk check image deposit may include: (1) capturing, by a computer application executed by an electronic device, a plurality of check images for a plurality of checks comprising an image of a first side of each check and an image of a second side of each check; (2) submitting, by the computer application, the plurality of check images to a backend in a deposit transaction; (3) matching, by a check recognition computer program at the backend, the images of the first side of the checks with the images of the second sides of the checks; (4) validating, by a deposit service computer program executed by the backend, the matched images for each of the checks; and (5) depositing, by the deposit service computer program, the validated checks.

Abstract: Systems and methods for processing checks with machine-readable optical labels are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for processing checks with machine-readable optical labels may include (1) receiving, by a presenting bank computer program executed by an electronic device, a check comprising a machine-readable optical label printed thereon, wherein the machine-readable optical label comprises a payor bank routing number that is encrypted with a private key for a payor bank; (2) reading, by the presenting bank computer program, the machine-readable optical label; (3) decrypting, by the presenting bank computer program, the machine-readable optical label using a public key corresponding to the private key; (4) identifying, by the presenting bank computer program, the payor bank routing number from the machine-readable optical label; and (5) routing, by the presenting bank computer program, the check to the payor bank associated with the payor bank routing number.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically switching payment mechanisms for outgoing payments are disclosed. A method may include: receiving, by a payment mechanism selection computer program, a payment request from an electronic device associated with a payor to pay a payee comprising payment parameters; presenting, by the payment mechanism selection computer program, a plurality of payment features to the payor electronic device; receiving, by the payment mechanism computer program and from the payor electronic device, a selection of a subset of the plurality of payment features; determining, by the payment mechanism selection computer program, a payor payment intent from the selection of the subset of payment features; selecting, by the payment mechanism selection computer program, a payment mechanism from a plurality of available payment mechanisms that is consistent with the payor payment intent; and executing, by the payment mechanism selection computer program, the payment using the payment mechanism.
