Examples associated with service kiosk device provisioning are described. One example receiving authentication information associated with a user at a service kiosk. A specification of a device to be delivered to the user, and provisioning data for configuring the device to be delivered to the user are also received at the service kiosk. A selected device is selected from a set of devices stored in compartments of the service kiosk. The set of devices are also operably connected to the service kiosk. The selected device is selected according to the device specification. The selected device is configured based on the provisioning data. A credential matching the authentication information is received from a user via an interface of the service kiosk. Physical access is provided to a compartment of the service kiosk in which the selected device is stored.

In some examples, a method of manufacturing a densified wood transaction instrument includes boiling a sheet of wood in a chemical solution, compressing the boiled sheet of wood using a die in a press to form one or more features in the sheet of wood, during the compressing of the boiled sheet of wood, heating the boiled sheet of wood to create a sheet of densified wood, and attaching one or more payment elements to at least one of the one or more features formed in the sheet of densified wood to form a sheet of one or more densified wood transaction instruments.

A method is disclosed. The method includes interacting with a gate access device that is capable of preventing access to a location, where the gate access device subsequently sends an authorization request message to an issuer for approval, the authorization request message including a request to charge a predetermined amount of money to pay for access to a location, and entering the location if the gate access device receives an authorization response message indicating that the charge is authorized.

A system and method of generating a drop pattern. The method may include receiving an initial drop pattern. The method may include receiving a target drop pattern exclusion edge for each of a plurality of locations. The method may include receiving one or more constraints of a dispensing system. The method may include generating a base drop pattern exclusion edge line based on the target drop pattern exclusion edge. The method may include generating a new drop pattern wherein drops deposited at an edge of the new drop pattern are positioned on integer multiples of the pitch constraint from the optimum base drop pattern exclusion edge line.

A computer-implemented method includes authenticating, by one or more first processors of a provider computing system, a user of a vehicle with a financial account of the user where the vehicle is associated with the financial account, receiving vehicle data relating to the vehicle, transmitting application data to a vehicle computing system of the vehicle via a first network and based on the vehicle data where the vehicle computing system includes one or more second processors communicatively coupled to the provider computing system via the first network, transmitting, by the one or more second processors via a second network, the application data to the user device, and receiving, by the one or more first processors, an input provided from the user device based on the application data.

A computer-implemented method includes authenticating, by a processor of a financial institution computing system, a user of a vehicle with a financial account of the user. The vehicle is associated with the financial account and the user is physically located within the vehicle. Data relating to the vehicle is received. A task is selected based on the data.
