Abstract: A system and method authenticate payment transactions using risk based analysis modeling when multiple payment accounts are identified by input biometric data. An authentication request includes the biometric data associated with a user. Multiple user payment accounts associated with the biometric data are identified. A confidence score is generated for each of the multiple user payment accounts based on context data associated with the payment transaction. The payment account with the highest confidence score is selected. The selected payment account is authenticated for use in processing the payment transaction to ensure payment transactions are performed on the correct payment account.

Abstract: Examples provide a system and method for initiating contactless communication sessions between computing devices using a variety of modalities. A user pre-registers a selected modality for triggering session initiation. A session initiation device generates trigger data based on a detected occurrence of a predetermined event corresponding to a user selected modality, such as, but not limited to, biometric data, a unique user identifier (ID), a vehicle identifier, or any other type of modality. The trigger data is mapped to a mobile device ID. The mobile device ID can be requested from a connection server. The communication session is established between the first computing device and the mobile user device using the mobile device identifier. The computing device transmits data to the mobile user device via the established communication session when the computing device is brought into proximity to the mobile user device.
