  • Publication number: 20240070670
    Abstract: Techniques for hybrid banking can be provided for a user. For example, a system described herein can include a processor and a memory that includes instructions executable by the processor to perform operations. The operations can include receiving a request to perform a hybrid transaction from a user through at least one portable device associated with the user. The operations can also include initiating performance of the hybrid transaction based on the request and accessing information associated with the user and the hybrid transaction. The operations can further include confirming an identity of the user based on the request received from the user through the at least one portable device and the information associated with the user and the hybrid transaction. Additionally, the operations can include completing the hybrid transaction.

  • Publication number: 20240070636
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a pre-entry request for a distributed transaction from a mobile device. The method also includes querying a bank server for permission to execute the distributed transaction. Additionally, the method includes issuing a completion code for the distributed transaction to the mobile device. Further, the method includes receiving the completion code at an automated teller machine (ATM) from the mobile device that verifies authorization of the ATM to complete the distributed transaction. Furthermore, the method includes actuating the ATM in compliance with the distributed transaction to complete the distributed transaction.

  • Publication number: 20240070632
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a request made by a user, via a virtual assistant interface of a remote user device, to transfer funds from a user account to an escrow account of an escrow service. The method also includes establishing a connection to the escrow service to transfer funds to the escrow account and validating, via the virtual assistant interface of the remote user device, authorization of the user to transfer funds from the user account. Additionally, the method includes transferring the funds from the user account to the escrow account. Further, method includes reporting to the user, via the virtual assistant interface of the remote user device, confirmation of transferring the funds to the escrow account.

  • Publication number: 20240005102
    Abstract: In some implementations, the techniques include receiving a query from a user via a user device. The query may include one or more mortgage questions. In addition, the techniques may include accessing an account history may include financial information associated with the user and/or a query history for the user. Also, the techniques may include accessing market data. Further, the techniques may include providing the query, the account history, and/or the market data as an input to a virtual assistant application. The virtual assistant application may generates a response to the query using a knowledge base may include mortgage information. In addition, the techniques may include receiving the response as an output from the virtual assistant application.
