Cardless financial transactions
An automatic-transaction-machine (ATM) has a processor that controls at least portions of some financial transactions conducted by the ATM. A banking computer system associated with the ATM is receives a pre-created transaction request from a customer using a mobile device. When the customer later brings the mobile device to the ATM, the ATM presents transaction-verification data to be received by the mobile device. The ATM is configured to receive mobile-verification data back from the mobile device that is responsive to the transaction-verification data. When the mobile-verification data is authenticated by the banking computer system the ATM is configured to execute the pre-created transaction request.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, with a banking computer system of a banking institution, a queue of pre-staged automatic-teller-machine (ATM) transactions created by a banking customer using a personal computing device communicating with the banking computer system, each pre-staged ATM transaction in the queue of pre-staged ATM transactions comprising a data set that identifies a type of transaction to be executed, a data set that identifies a mobile-wallet data set to be used for performing the transaction, and a data set that identifies a personal identification number (PIN) associated with the identified mobile-wallet data set;
displaying, on a graphical-user-interface (GUI) of the personal computing device, the queue of pre-staged ATM transactions;
performing a cardless ATM transaction, with a personal computing device in coordination with the ATM, before processing any of the pre-staged ATM transactions in the queue of pre-staged ATM transactions including:
receiving, with the banking computer system, data from the personal computing device as a result of the banking customer using the personal computing device to select one pre-staged ATM transaction in the queue of pre-staged ATM transactions displayed on the GUI of the personal computing device;
displaying, with a GUI of the ATM, a two-dimensional bar code in response to receiving a command through a GUI of the ATM when the GUI is used by the banking customer; and
capturing, with the personal computing device, the two-dimensional bar code only after said receiving the data from the personal computing device resulting from the banking customer using the personal computing device to select the one pre-staged ATM transaction;
executing, with the ATM, the selected pre-staged ATM transaction after said receiving data from the personal computing device with the banking computer system and after said capturing;
hosting the mobile-wallet data set with a mobile-wallet server of the banking computer system, wherein the mobile-wallet data set includes one or more electronic data sets that includes at least one personal debit-card data set having a card number and at least one personal-information data set including a name of the banking customer;
receiving, through a GUI of the ATM, a transaction command from the banking customer;
transmitting, with the ATM, after said receiving the transaction command, the transaction command to a cloud server of the banking computer system; and
transmitting, with the cloud server, the transaction command to the mobile-wallet server.
