Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes capturing an image by a mobile computing device and determining a geographic location and a direction of the mobile computing device while capturing the image. The method includes generating a display that includes the image and that identifies the locations of merchants that have at least one offer available for a user of the mobile device based on the geographic location and the direction of the mobile computing device and generating the at least one offer based on the past transactions of the user.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method includes receiving, from a mobile device, a request to initiate a transaction. The method includes receiving, from the mobile device, a selection of a stored value card from among a plurality of stored value cards as a payment option for the transaction. Additionally or alternatively, the method includes receiving value card information from the mobile device of a user and transferring funds from the balance of the value card to the merchant. The method includes reducing the balance of the value card by the amount of the transferred funds.

Abstract: A method for facilitating real time transfer of funds from a sender to a recipient includes receiving an expedited funds transfer request from the sender having a first account at a first financial institution, the recipient having a second account at a second financial institution, the first and second financial institutions being members of a computer-implemented payment network including a plurality of member financial institutions; and sending a message to the second financial institution to deposit funds into the second account, wherein the second financial institution deposits funds into the second account, and wherein the first financial institution settles with the second financial institution after the second financial institution deposits funds into the second account.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for providing offers to a mobile device includes receiving at least one offer from at least one merchant at an offer computer system and determining, by the offer computer system, an offer to present on the mobile device based on at least one characteristic of a user of the mobile device, the offer providing the user a discount from a price of a product or service. The method includes receiving a request for a code to provide to a merchant, the code being generated for the mobile device that belongs to the user. The method includes receiving, from a mobile device, an indication from the user to use the offer and sending, by the offer computer system, to the mobile device an offer code to be displayed on the mobile device to be received by a merchant.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method includes receiving a request to perform a transaction between a user having a mobile device and the user having account at a financial institution and a merchant. The method includes determining a first location of the user based on a location of the mobile device and the method includes determining a second location of the user based on a location of the merchant. The first and second locations are compared to ensure a match between the two locations. The method further includes receiving an identifier that is embedded in a code that is displayable on the mobile device. The method includes transmitting an indication that the transaction has been completed based on the identifier and based on the match of the first and second location.
