  • Patent number: 9666037
    Abstract: Proximity-triggered notifications/alerts are communicated to bank customers as a result of a previously abandoned/canceled ATM transaction that has subsequently been pre-queued for completion. In this regard, the present invention recognizes when the customer is proximate in location to a financial institution channel suitable for completing the transaction and sends the customer an alert, which is typically received by the customer via a mobile communication device. The alert indicates that the previous abandoned ATM transaction has been pre-queued for completion and provides the customer with the location of the nearest financial institution channel suitable for completing the transaction. In specific embodiments of the invention, pre-queuing of the transaction for completion provides for the customer to complete the transaction from the last existing point in the transaction completed by the customer.

  • Publication number: 20170061424
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes using wearable presence to maintain account authentication. Embodiments herein disclosed receive an authentication request from a wearable device of a user to initiate a transaction using the wearable device; wherein the wearable device includes one or more sensors configured to gather user data including physiological or movement data, or a combination of both; wherein the authentication request includes a transaction type, a transaction amount, and at least one account to be used via the wearable device for the transaction. Embodiments determine if the user is in possession of the wearable device, based on the user data; and, if so, authenticate the at least one account. Embodiments continuously monitor user data from the wearable device to determine if the user remains in possession of the wearable device; and, if so, maintain authentication to the account, thereby allowing the user to conduct one or more transactions upon authentication.

  • Patent number: 9514463
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and computer program products provide for monitoring an area within or proximate to a place of business for digital signatures of mobile communication devices, such as cellular devices or wearable communication devices. The captured digital signatures are then matched to digital signatures associated with existing customers of the business to determine the presence of the existing customer within or proximate to the place of business. Once the presence of the existing customer within or proximate to the business is known, the business can access other relevant information, such as customer profile information, prior transaction/interaction information or the like to enhance the customer's current interaction with the business. Moreover, once the presence of the existing customer is known, location determining mechanisms may implemented to track the location of the known customer within or proximate to the place of business for the purpose of positively identifying the known customer.
