Abstract: A system and method for processing lending transactions that may facilitate prompt transfer of funds (for example, loan funds) to an individual in a secure manner. An adaptive payment server may receive first identification information, second identification information, and a request for a fund transfer. The adaptive payment server may determine an account associated with the first identification information. The adaptive payment server may authenticate identification of the account based on the second identification information. The adaptive payment server may initiate a deposit of a fund amount associated with the request into the identified account, wherein the fund amount is deposited substantially immediately after the identified account has been authenticated.

Abstract: A system and method for securing and processing payment transactions of varying payment transaction types via mobile devices is provided. An adaptive payment server can accept requests from a mobile device to process different types of payment transactions via various types of payment devices (for example, credit cards, debit cards, EBT cards, or other payment cards). Credit card transactions, debit card transactions, EBT cash benefits transactions, and/or EBT food stamps transactions can be processed based on identification information retrieved from a corresponding reader device, coupled to the mobile device, and configured to encrypt identification information directly detected by and/or received from the mobile device.

Abstract: A system and method for using a Personal Identification Number (“PIN”) to authenticate payment transactions via a mobile device coupled to a reader device is described. The reader device may be modified to not only read and encrypt first identification information from a payment medium such as a magnetic strip of a payment card, but also receive a PIN from the mobile device and encrypt the PIN. The mobile device may be configured to prompt for and receive the PIN. The PIN may be communicated to the reader device for encryption. The mobile device may receive the encrypted first identification information and encrypted PIN and communicate the encrypted data to an adaptive payment server that decrypts the encrypted data for processing the payment transaction. The system may be used to securely process PIN-based payment transactions using a mobile device that is communicably coupled to a reader device.

Abstract: A system and method of processing balance inquiries and electronic funds transfers (EFTs) using multi-factor authentication. The method may include receiving an identifier of a financial account and contact information associated with the financial account and initiating a communication via the contact information. Upon receiving an authentication via the communication, the method may include processing a balance inquiry and/or EFT of the financial account based on the identifier and the authentication. The method may include determining a balance of the financial account based on the balance inquiry and/or causing funds to be electronically transferred. The system and method may also facilitate a balance inquiry from a mobile device to an EFT provider.

Abstract: This device consists primarily of a sleeve having C clamp means for securing it to a swivel type bench lamp. The device includes oppositely opposed and adjustable rod means carried within the sleeve, the rods having spring clamps attached thereto for holding drawings and a third and middle clip is secured to the sleeve on its exterior for providing additional support for a drawing to be held and is adaptable for use with a small drawing.
