Abstract: A personal financial notification device includes a processor coupled to machine readable storage media having instructions stored therein. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive a non-confidential status of a financial account of a user from a separate mobile device. The financial account is associated with the personal financial notification device. The instructions also cause the processor to display the non-confidential status of the financial account without requiring user authentication.

Abstract: A system includes a server system that includes a processor and instructions stored in non-transitory machine-readable media. The instructions are configured to cause the server system to receive authentication information from a client device. The authentication information relates to a financial account of a user. The instructions are also configured to cause the server system to authenticate the user so as to associate the client device with the financial account of the user. The system also includes a financial notification circuit located on the client device. The financial notification circuit is configured to determine a location of the client device. The financial notification circuit is also configured to provide a notification on the client device alerting the client to not spend money at the location.
