Rules and triggers for initiating and generating transactions can be dynamically and automatically created by a computing device based on learning behaviors for a knowledgebase. This knowledgebase may be created by storing historical transaction information for devices within a particular network such as an Internet of Things (IoT) network where devices are interconnected and capable of processing data and instructions. Such a network may be associated with a user or location or organization, and may conform to a specific communication protocol.

An exemplary embodiment comprises fungible tokens with authenticity, namely Krypto coins (38), one non-fungible token with authenticity, namely business identification (BID) token (36), at least one crypto wallet (22) owned by a business owner of a business, and at least one business registry record (53) managed by a business registration authority. The Krypto coin (38) contains a unique identifier: the BID token's token address (36). The BID token (36) contains an identification hash, which uniquely represents the business identity, and a registrar address which points to the registration authority. The registration authority is the one who has confirmed the real-life identity of the business owner, the legally registered information of the business entity, and the legitimate ownership of the owner over the business and has created the registry record (53) on a blockchain. By looking for the existence of the business registry record (53) on the blockchain, investors can verify the authenticity of the Krypto coins before investing in the business, and the business owner can offer Krypto coins to investors for fundraising with more credibility and trust. Details of funding and fundraising processes with Krypto coins are discussed. Other embodiments are described and shown.

Techniques and systems for automatically generating an authorization for moving funds on behalf of a client are described. An example technique includes detecting a first request to create a transfer authorization for a first client account. An indication of a type of transfer option associated with the first client account is presented. A set of second client accounts that are linked to the first client account within the application and that support the type of transfer option are determined. A selection state of the second client account indicating whether the second client account is selected is determined for each second client account. An electronic transfer authorization form is automatically generated based on the second selection state of each second client account. A second request is transmitted to one or more users associated with the selected set of second client accounts to approve the electronic transfer authorization form.

A system and method for authenticating a candidate user accessing a host computing device as an authentic user is provided. The host computing device is in communication with an authenticating computing device. The method includes receiving, by the authenticating computing device, a request to authenticate the candidate user as an authentic user. The authentication request includes a user identifier. The method also includes retrieving, by the authenticating computing device, transaction data including payment transactions performed by the authentic user based on the user identifier. The method also includes generating, by the authenticating computing device, a challenge question and a correct answer based on the transaction data associated with the authentic user, and transmitting the challenge question for display on a candidate user computing device used by the candidate user.

Systems and methods for managing digital identities. In some embodiments, a method is provided, comprising acts of: receiving a request to validate at least one statement about a user; identifying, from the request, a reference to a distributed ledger, the reference comprising an identifier for the distributed ledger and an identifier for a transaction recorded on the distributed ledger; identifying, based at least in part on the identifier for the distributed ledger, at least one node of a network of nodes managing the distributed ledger; and communicating with the at least one node to validate the at least one statement about the user.

Systems and methods are provided for adjustment of difficulty level, quantity, and/or other parameters of knowledge-based authentication. The questions may be asked of a consumer based on one or more generated risk scores associated with the consumer's behavior, which may be derived from information received from the consumer, a representative responsible for entering information regarding the consumer, and/or from the consumer's computing device.

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.

A payer initiates a payment transaction of a certain dollar amount through a user interface provided by their bank. The bank generates a hyperlink associated with the payment transaction. By managing a state of the transaction, the hyperlink can be given an expiration time and/or a counter of visits. The hyperlink is sent to a payment recipient in a text message or email, either by the payer or by the bank. Upon following the hyperlink, the recipient can enter their own debit card information to receive the money transfer to their debit account, without the need to set up an account login or account. A notification mechanism, such as a broadcast stream of payments, can be employed to inform different entities (such as those recording property payments or utilities payments) that a payment was made to the payment recipient.

A controlled dispensing fixture including a display screen, a scanning device, and one or more processors is configured to: obtain via the display screen or remote scanner a selection of one or more controlled products; update a user interface on the display screen based on the selection; determine whether the one or more controlled products meet a purchase limit associated with the one or more controlled products for dispensing; obtain via the scanning device consumer identification information; determine whether the consumer identification information meets an age threshold and/or an identity requirement associated with the one or more controlled products; and in accordance with a determination that (i) the one or more controlled products meet the purchase limit for dispensing, and (ii) the consumer identification information meets the age threshold and/or the identity requirement, transmit a dispensing instruction to the dispensing fixture to dispense the one or more controlled products.

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.
