Abstract

Various examples are directed to systems and methods for authentication transactions. A mobile computing device may send to a financial institution system, an access request message. The mobile computing device may receive from a second server system, a transaction request message requesting authorization for a transaction on an account associated with the mobile computing device, the transaction request including a transaction amount. The mobile computing device may prompt a user of the mobile computing device to authorize the transaction. The mobile computing device may receive, from the financial institution system, summary data describing the transaction amount.

Claims (44)

1. A system for authenticating a mobile computing device and a financial institution system, the system comprising:

the mobile computing device comprising at least one processor and a memory in communication with the at least one processor, wherein the mobile computing device is programed to:

send an access request message to the financial institution system, the access request message sent by a financial services application executed at the mobile computing device;

receive, by a mobile wallet application executing at the mobile computing device and from a second server system, a transaction request message requesting authorization for a transaction on an account associated with the mobile computing device, the transaction initiated by the financial institution system, the transaction request message including an indication of a transaction amount and an indication of the financial institution system;

responsive to the transaction request message, display by the mobile wallet application a prompt to a user of the mobile computing device to authorize the transaction, the prompt comprising an indication of the transaction amount and an indication of the financial institution system;

receive, by the mobile wallet application and from the user, an authorization for the transaction;

send, by the mobile wallet application and to the second server system, an authorization message indicating that the transaction is authorized; and

receive, by the financial services application and from the financial institution system, summary data comprising an indication of the transaction amount.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transaction comprises a debit of a transaction amount to the account and a credit of the transaction amount to the account.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transaction request message comprises financial institution system data identifying the financial institution system.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile computing device is further programmed to:

receive biometric data from the user; and

determine that the biometric data matches reference biometric data for the user.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein receiving the authorization from the user comprises receiving password data from the user.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile computing device is further programmed to send a payment request message to a point of service (POS) device, wherein the summary data is received from the POS device.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile computing device is further programmed to:

execute a first application to send the access request message to the financial institution system; and

execute a second application to receive the transaction request message and to prompt the user to authorize the transaction.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile computing device is also programmed to verify a block chain of the financial institution system, wherein the block chain comprises a plurality of transactions including the financial institution system.

9. A method comprising:

sending, by a financial services application executing at a mobile computing device, an access request message to a financial institution system;

receiving, by a mobile wallet application executing at the mobile computing device and from a second server system; a transaction request message requesting authorization for a transaction on an account associated with the mobile computing device, the transaction initiated by the financial institution system, the transaction request message including a transaction amount;

responsive to the transaction request message, displaying, by the mobile wallet application, a prompt to a user of the mobile computing device to authorize the transaction, the prompt comprising an indication of the transaction amount and an indication of the financial institution system;

receiving, by the mobile wallet application and from the user, an authorization for the transaction;

sending, by the mobile wallet application and to the second server system, an authorization message indicating that the transaction is authorized; and

receiving, by the financial services application and from the financial institution system, summary data describing the transaction amount.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the transaction comprises a debit of a transaction amount to the account and a credit of the transaction amount to the account.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the transaction request message comprises financial institution system data identifying the financial institution system.

12. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

receiving biometric data from the user; and

determining that the biometric data matches reference biometric data for the user.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein receiving the authorization from the user comprises receiving password data from the user.

14. The method of claim 9 , further comprising sending a payment request message to a point of service (POS) device, wherein the summary data is received from the POS device.

15. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

executing a first application to send the access request message to the financial institution system; and

executing a second application to receive the transaction request message and to prompt the user to authorize the transaction.

16. The method of claim 9 , further comprising verifying a block chain of the financial institution system, wherein the block chain comprises a plurality of transactions including the financial institution system.

17. A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions thereon that, when executed by a mobile computing device, cause the mobile computing device to perform operations comprising:

sending, by a financial services application executing at the mobile computing device, an access request message to a financial institution system;

receiving, by a mobile wallet application executing at the mobile computing device and from a second server system, a transaction request message requesting authorization for a transaction on an account associated with the mobile computing device, the transaction initiated by the financial institution system, the transaction request message including a transaction amount;

responsive to the transaction request message, displaying, by the mobile wallet application a prompt to a user of the mobile computing device to authorize the transaction, the prompt comprising an indication of the transaction amount and an indication of the financial institution system;

receiving, by the mobile wallet application and from the user, an authorization for the transaction;

sending, by the mobile wallet application and to the second server system, an authorization message indicating that the transaction is authorized; and

receiving, by the financial services application and from the financial institution system, summary data describing the transaction amount.
