11164169 · 2021-11-02 · ·

Wait times at ATMs may undermine the utility of these self-service machines. ATMs are configured to provide faster self-service kiosks that allow users to quickly perform common financial transactions. However, it has been increasing common for user's to have to wait on line to access an ATM. Apparatus and methods are provided for a smart card that stages transactions by capturing the amount, pin and other necessary information on the smart card itself, before the user begins interacting with the ATM. Information captured by the smart card may be transferred to ATM when the smart card is inserted into ATM. The user does not provide the ATM with any additional information after inserted the smart card into the ATM, thereby improving the transaction processing efficiency of the ATM and enhancing user satisfaction.

An embodiment includes a multi-function electronic device capable of generating a programmed magnetic field of alternating polarity based on a speed of a card swipe, and methods for constructing the device for the purpose of emulating a standard credit card. An apparatus is described to allow the device to emulate behavior of a credit card when used in electronic credit card readers. Additionally, methods are described to allow user control of the device for the purpose of authorizing or controlling use of the device in the application of credit, debit and cash transactions, including cryptocurrency and device-to-device transactions. Methods are also described for generating a limited-duration payment number when performing a transaction for the purpose of creating a limited-use payment number, which is limited in scope of use to a predetermined number of authorized transactions. Furthermore the device may interact with other similar devices in proximity for the purpose of funds or credit/debit transfers.

Method, System, and Computer Program Product for Network Bound Proxy Re-Encryption and Pin Translation

A method, system, and computer program product generate, with a payment network, a first value (a) and a second value (g.sup.a), the second value (g.sup.a) generated based on the first value (a) and a generator value (g); generate, with the payment network, a plurality of random merchant numbers (m.sub.i) for a respective plurality of merchant banks; determine, with the payment network, a merchant product (M) based on a product of the plurality of random merchant numbers (m.sub.i); generate, with the payment network, a public key (pk.sub.i) based on the second value (g.sup.a), the merchant product (M), and the random merchant number (m.sub.i) and a random key (rk.sub.i) based on the merchant product (M) and the random merchant number (m.sub.i) for each respective merchant bank; and communicate, with the payment network, the public key (pk.sub.i) and the random key (rk.sub.i) to at least one respective merchant bank.

MERCHANT TERMINAL FOR RECEIVING PAYMENT FROM A VEHICLE
20230297993 · 2023-09-21 ·

Methods, systems, apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable media are described for using a vehicle as a payment device. Various aspects may include receiving a selection of a stored financial card or financial account at a vehicle head unit. The selected financial card or financial account may be transmitted to a point-of-sale (POS) terminal for making a payment by transmitting a tokenized card number to the POS terminal. The tokenized card number may be transmitted over a very short-range communication link to ensure that the transmission is secure. For example, electronic circuitry may be attached to the exterior of the vehicle, where the electronic circuitry may be within a threshold distance (e.g. one inch, three inches, six inches, one foot, three feet, etc.) of the POS terminal. The tokenized card number may be transmitted from the vehicle head unit to the electronic circuitry and then to the POS terminal.

Systems and methods for redeeming rewards for cash at an ATM

An automated teller machine (ATM) includes a network interface, an input/output device configured to exchange data with a customer, and a processing circuit comprising a processor and memory. The memory is structured to store instructions that are executable by the processor and cause the processing circuit to receive account information identifying a credit account associated with the customer, transmit the account information identifying the credit account, receive reward information associated with the credit account, display a reward indication notifying the customer of reward information and providing the customer with an ability to indicate a preference to perform a currency reward withdrawal, receive data comprising an indication of the preference of the customer to perform the currency reward withdrawal, transmit a redemption request based on the indicated preference, receive a redemption request authorization, and dispense an amount of currency corresponding to an amount identified in the redemption request authorization.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTITY GRAPH BASED FRAUD DETECTION

A method and apparatus for fraud detection during transactions using identity graphs are described. A method includes receiving, at a commerce platform system, a transaction from a user having initial transaction attributes and transaction data. The method also includes determining, by the commerce platform system, an identity associated with the user associated with additional transaction attributes not received with the transaction. Furthermore, the method includes accessing a feature set associated with the initial transaction attributes and the additional transaction attributes that includes machine learning (ML) model features for detecting transaction fraud. The method also includes performing, by the commerce platform system, a machine learning model analysis using the feature set and the transaction data to determine a likelihood that the transaction is fraudulent, and performing, by the commerce platforms system, the transaction when the likelihood that the transaction is fraudulent does not satisfy a transaction fraud threshold.
