  • Patent number: 11620443
    Abstract: A system is provided for file capture and in-line error correction. The system comprises: a controller configured to capture and process a file during a file capture sequence comprising one or more capture events, the controller being configured to: capture a file using a file capture device associated with a user device, wherein capturing the file comprises receiving a file image and a user input data field associated with the file; identify, using an in-line file analysis module, an error with a capture event during the file capture sequence, wherein the error is a discrepancy identified between the user input data field and an image-derived data field; correct the error in the file before the file capture sequence is completed and the file is exported; and export the file, wherein the file capture sequence is completed.

  • Patent number: 11288932
    Abstract: A system is configured for detecting errors in an ATM. The system includes a processor that receives a withdrawal request from a user to receive cash from a cash dispenser of the ATM. Currency denominations and a number of bills for each currency denomination needed to fulfill the withdrawal request is determined. The system sends signal commands to cassettes of the ATM to dispense bills to fulfill the withdrawal request. A camera is positioned in a pathway of the bills being dispensed from the cassettes to the cash dispenser. The camera captures images of bills being dispensed from the cassettes and sends them to the processor. The processor generates an alert if a number of bills dispensed from at least one cassette does not match a corresponding number of bills expected to be dispensed from the at least one cassette.

  • Patent number: 10943441
    Abstract: A system is configured for detecting errors in an ATM. The system includes a processor that receives a withdrawal request from a user to receive cash from a cash dispenser of the ATM. Currency denominations and a number of bills for each currency denomination needed to fulfill the withdrawal request is determined. The expected cash to be dispensed from the ATM is a sum of multiplications of each currency denomination with its number of bills. The system sends signal commands to cassettes of the ATM to dispense bills to fulfill the withdrawal request. A camera is positioned in a pathway of the bills being dispensed from the cassettes to the cash dispenser. The camera captures images of bills being dispensed from the cassettes and sends them to the processor. The processor generates an alert if the actual dispensed cash from the cassettes does not match the expected cash.

  • Patent number: 10937008
    Abstract: In some embodiments, one or more processors receive a financial instrument via an interface. The financial instrument indicates attributes of a financial transaction. The processors determine, based on one or more of the attributes, whether the financial transaction involves a cross border exchange. If the financial transaction involves a cross border exchange, the processors flag the financial instrument accordingly, perform a currency conversion, and communicate an electronic image associated with the financial instrument to computing resources configured to complete the financial transaction electronically without having to transport a paper copy of the financial instrument between financial institutions.
