Abstract

An automated teller machine (ATM) is provided. The ATM includes a network interface. The ATM includes an authentication circuit configured to receive data indicative of an interaction with the ATM by a user, detect that an individual computing device is in proximity to the ATM, determine that the individual computing device is not associated with a financial account, display a prompt comprising instructions to bind the individual computing device of the user to the financial account, receive data comprising a unique identifier of the individual computing device of the user, bind the individual computing device to the financial account based at least in part on the received unique identifier of the individual computing device of the user, and transmit, to the individual computing device, an application authorization, the application authorization authorizing an application to complete operations associated with the financial account via the bound individual computing device of the user.

Claims (47)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by an Automated Teller Machine (ATM), data indicative of an interaction with the ATM by a user;

detecting, by the ATM, that an individual computing device is in proximity to the ATM;

determining, by the ATM, that the individual computing device is not associated with a financial account associated with the user;

displaying a prompt, by the ATM on a display of the ATM, comprising instructions to bind the individual computing device of the user to the financial account associated with the user;

receiving data, by the ATM from the individual computing device, comprising a unique identifier of the individual computing device of the user consequent to displaying the prompt on the display of the ATM;

binding, by the ATM, the individual computing device to the financial account based at least in part on the received unique identifier of the individual computing device of the user; and

transmitting, by the ATM to the individual computing device, an application authorization, the application authorization authorizing an application to complete operations associated with the financial account via the bound individual computing device of the user.

2. The method of claim 1 , comprising:

sending, by the ATM, the data comprising the unique identifier to a telecommunication company computing system; and

receiving, by the ATM, data from the telecommunication company computing system consequent to sending the data comprising the unique identifier, wherein binding the individual computing device to the financial account is based at least in part on the data received from the telecommunication company computing system.

3. The method of claim 2 , comprising matching, by the ATM, the data received from the telecommunication company computing system to the financial account, wherein binding the individual computing device to the financial account is based at least in part on the matching of the data.

4. The method of claim 1 , comprising transmitting, by the ATM to the individual computing device, an application bound to the financial account.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the unique identifier is one of a device identifier and a SIM card identifier.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the unique identifier of the individual computing device of the user is received by the ATM via a near-field communication (NFC) protocol.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the unique identifier of the individual computing device of the user is received by the ATM via a low power Bluetooth protocol.

8. The method of claim 1 , comprising authenticating, by the ATM, an identity of the user based at least in part on a biometric attribute.

9. An automated teller machine (ATM) comprising:

a network interface; and

an authentication circuit configured to:

receive data indicative of an interaction with the ATM by a user;

detect that an individual computing device is in proximity to the ATM;

determine that the individual computing device is not associated with a financial account associated with the user;

display a prompt, on a display of the ATM, comprising instructions to bind the individual computing device of the user to the financial account associated with the user;

receive data, from the individual computing device, comprising a unique identifier of the individual computing device of the user consequent to displaying the prompt on the display of the ATM;

bind the individual computing device to the financial account based at least in part on the received unique identifier of the individual computing device of the user; and

transmit, to the individual computing device, an application authorization, the application authorization authorizing an application to complete operations associated with the financial account via the bound individual computing device of the user.

10. The ATM of claim 9 , the authentication circuit configured to:

send the data comprising the unique identifier to a telecommunication company computing system; and

receive data from the telecommunication company computing system consequent to sending the data comprising the unique identifier, wherein binding the individual computing device to the financial account is based at least in part on the data received from the telecommunication company computing system.

11. The ATM of claim 10 , the authentication circuit configured to match the data received from the telecommunication company computing system to the financial account, wherein binding the individual computing device to the financial account is based at least in part on the matching of the data.

12. The ATM of claim 9 , the authentication circuit configured to transmit, to the individual computing device, an application bound to the financial account.

13. The ATM of claim 9 , wherein the unique identifier is one of a device identifier and a SIM card identifier.

14. The ATM of claim 9 , wherein the unique identifier of the individual computing device of the user is received by the ATM via a near-field communication (NFC) protocol.

15. The ATM of claim 9 , wherein the unique identifier of the individual computing device of the user is received by the ATM via a low power Bluetooth protocol.

16. The ATM of claim 9 , the authentication circuit configured to authenticate an identity of the user based at least in part on a biometric attribute.

17. A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer-executable instructions embodied therein that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform various operations, the operations comprising:

receiving data indicative of an interaction with the computing system by a user;

detecting that an individual computing device is in proximity to the computing system;

determining that the individual computing device is not associated with a financial account associated with the user;

displaying a prompt, on a display of the computing system, comprising instructions to bind the individual computing device of the user to the financial account associated with the user;

receiving data, from the individual computing device, comprising a unique identifier of the individual computing device of the user consequent to displaying the prompt on the display of the computing system;

binding the individual computing device to the financial account based at least in part on the received unique identifier of the individual computing device of the user; and

transmitting, to the individual computing device, an application authorization, the application authorization authorizing an application to complete operations associated with the financial account via the bound individual computing device of the user.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the unique identifier is one of a device identifier and a SIM card identifier.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the unique identifier of the individual computing device of the user is received by the computing system via a near-field communication (NFC) protocol.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the unique identifier of the individual computing device of the user is received by the computing system via a low power Bluetooth protocol.
